Hammer Distribution has entered a new strategic partnership with the European cybersecurity vendor Stormshield. Under the agreement, Hammer becomes a key distributor of Stormshield’s next-generation firewall (NGFW) portfolio.
The partnership aims to improve access to advanced security solutions for resellers and system integrators as demand for robust, flexible cybersecurity infrastructure continues to grow.
Focus on European cybersecurity and data sovereignty
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the need for security solutions that provide transparency and strong data protection is increasing. Hammer Distribution says the collaboration with Stormshield reinforces its commitment to delivering best-of-breed cybersecurity solutions to the channel.
Stormshield’s network security products hold multiple European and international certifications, including EU Restricted, NATO Restricted and ANSSI, making them particularly relevant for organizations with strict data security and regulatory compliance requirements.
“A level of assurance that is rare on the market”
– We are extremely proud to welcome Stormshield to the Hammer family, says Dominic Ryles at Hammer Distribution.
He emphasizes that today’s market demands security solutions partners and customers can fully trust.
– In a time of evolving cyber threats, our partners need security solutions they can rely on completely. Stormshield delivers a level of assurance and European engineering expertise that is uncommon in the market. This partnership is not only about broadening our offering, but also about strengthening our resellers’ position in the rapidly expanding cybersecurity market, he says.
Will create new opportunities for resellers
According to the companies, the partnership will open new business opportunities for Hammer’s network of resellers and system integrators.
Key benefits highlighted include:
- The ability to offer a European alternative to traditional US-based firewall vendors
- Technical pre-sales support and assistance with proof-of-concept (PoC) projects
- Specialized partner training
- Scalable NGFW solutions for both smaller businesses and larger industrial OT environments
Stormshield’s solutions include both hardware-based and virtual firewalls tailored to a variety of infrastructures and security needs.
Aiming to accelerate regional growth
– We are pleased to partner with Hammer Distribution, says Bertrand Trastour, head of global sales at Stormshield.
He describes Hammer as a partner with strong technical expertise and a proactive channel development focus.
– Hammer is the right partner to help us accelerate our growth in the region. Together we want to support the channel in addressing increasingly complex security challenges, he says.
The partnership is effective immediately, and Stormshield’s full portfolio of hardware and virtual NGFW solutions is now available through Hammer Distribution.
