A Year of Milestones and Key Partnerships

From the start of the year, Avert ITD has been at the forefront of tackling pressing IT challenges. In January 2024, we launched our collaboration with WatchGuard, offering businesses enhanced protection through their UTM (Unified Threat Management) and firewall appliances. Through our distribution channels, we have empowered organizations with advanced tools to secure their digital environments, ensuring they stay safe from increasingly complex cyberattacks.

In February, we deepened our commitment to improving remote work solutions by becoming a distributor of AnyDesk, a powerful remote desktop solution. With businesses increasingly adopting hybrid work models, AnyDesk’s secure, high-performance remote connectivity solutions have enabled companies to ensure business continuity without compromising security.

One of our major highlights this year was Avast's achievement of blocking 10 billion attacks in 2023, which was featured in an article published on TechCentral in March. This milestone demonstrated the importance of using robust security solutions and illustrated the tangible impact of Avast’s antivirus technology in safeguarding millions of users worldwide.

When it comes to cybersecurity solutions in Africa, Avert ITD is the official authorized distributor of Avast products. We provide businesses of all sizes with cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions tailored to the unique needs of the African market.

Tackling Malvertising and Cyber Threats

Avert ITD has been deeply invested in addressing cyber threats that continue to affect both consumers and businesses alike. In July, we highlighted the rising issue of malvertising and its potential to deliver harmful malware through malicious advertisements. Our partnership with Avast has allowed us to educate businesses about how to defend against such threats, ensuring safe digital experiences for all users.

In August, we published multiple articles discussing the importance of business continuity, particularly through the use of AnyDesk’s remote work solutions, which enable businesses to operate seamlessly and securely, regardless of location. As digital threats continue to evolve, the demand for comprehensive security and remote work tools is more pressing than ever, and Avert ITD is committed to providing the solutions needed to thrive in this new era.

GITEX GLOBAL: A Landmark Event for Avert ITD

This year, Avert ITD also made its mark on the international stage by attending GITEX GLOBAL 2024, the world’s largest and most prestigious tech and AI event. Held from October 14 to 18, the event provided a dynamic platform for industry leaders, startups, and investors to converge and discuss the future of technology. Avert ITD's presence at GITEX GLOBAL was an exciting milestone for the company, as it enabled us to engage with industry titans, forge new relationships, and showcase our portfolio of cutting-edge solutions to a global audience.

Empowering the Digital Future: Our Commitment to Innovation

2024 has been a year of impressive accomplishments for Avert ITD, but this is just the beginning. Looking ahead, we are even more excited about what the future holds. In 2025, we plan to expand our offerings further with a range of exciting developments, including the launch of a WhatsApp channel for more accessible customer support, as well as new software solutions to help businesses continue to grow in the face of evolving technological demands.

Our mission remains clear: to deliver the most innovative, secure, and reliable IT solutions to businesses across Africa, ensuring they are always equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow. Stay tuned for more updates, as we continue to lead the way in IT distribution and cybersecurity solutions in the year to come.
