CMS Distribution and BackBox, a leading network automation company, have announced the launch of a new partnership to distribute the BackBox platform in the UK and IE. This will be the first network and security device automation product in the CMS Distribution portfolio. The companies will be offering demonstrations of the BackBox platform at Infosecurity Europe in London from June 20-22. 

"We're thrilled to work with CMS because they put a lot of time and effort into making their vendor partners a success within the UK and Ireland," said Andrew Kahl, CEO of BackBox. "CMS will play a crucial role in our UK channel strategy, offering their extensive VAR community the opportunity to share the world's most trusted network automation platform with their customers."

"With BackBox, we can support centralised automation of firewalls and other network security devices from hundreds of vendors, including a number from our own portfolio," said Stewart Legge, Vendor Development Director of CMS Distribution.
