A partnership for Ecuador

Resecurity has announced a partnership with INFORC, a cybersecurity firm based in Ecuador. The deal pairs Resecurity’s threat intelligence products with INFORC’s local knowledge and customer relationships.

Attacks on Latin American organizations have been getting more frequent and more capable. Ecuador has had its share. Local companies often lack the staff to keep up.

Shared threat intelligence

Threat intelligence and detection are the core of the deal. Resecurity and INFORC plan to share data on attacks and combine their tools so that customers can spot intrusions as they happen.

Resecurity is known for threat hunting. It also monitors dark-web forums where stolen data and network access are sold, and INFORC knows the Ecuadorian market well enough to adapt those services to what banks, utilities and government agencies there actually need.

What customers get

Ecuadorian organizations will get access to Resecurity’s security products through INFORC, along with training meant to build local security skills.

Resecurity has described the partnership as part of its commitment to Latin America and said it hopes local training will help organizations defend themselves earlier.

Training local staff

Training is a major part of the plan. Resecurity and INFORC intend to run courses that prepare a new group of security professionals to handle current attacks.

Ecuador, like most countries, has more security jobs than trained people to fill them. Local training is one of the few fixes that lasts.

What Ecuadorian organizations should ask

It is a local route to global threat data.

Organizations considering the service should ask what data the partners will share about them, where it is stored and how quickly INFORC can respond on site during an incident.

Those answers will show whether the deal adds real capacity in Ecuador or mainly resells products.
