11 March 2021 – CALGARY, Canada and ANKARA, Turkey: Mavinci Bilişim Sanayi ve Tic. A.S. ("Mavinci"), a leading software development and R&D company, headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, announced today that it has entered into an OEM partnership agreement with Wedge Networks, Inc. to offer the Wedge Absolute Real-time Protection™ ("WedgeARP™") platform in Europe, starting with Turkey. With its expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Cloud technologies and High-Tech Computational Engineering, Mavinci will integrate the WedgeARP™ platform into its offerings and will market it under its own brand.
WedgeARP™ provides network-based, real-time threat protection for all types of endpoints in a wide range of networks (mobile data, 5G, SD-WAN, SASE, enterprise and carrier networks, SDN, and smart-city/IIoT). With an embedded deep learning AI engine and patented real-time deep content inspection technology, WedgeARP™ can detect never-before-seen malware in milliseconds. Running on an orchestrated threat management platform, it is an effective and autonomous approach to enable large-scale real-time threat prevention.
The deeper integration of the WedgeARP™ platform into Mavinci’s product portfolio, to be sold under the growing Mavinci brand, will quickly expand the reach of Wedge’s real-time threat prevention into the larger EU market, beginning in Mavinci’s home base of Turkey. This trusted relationship will enhance the sharing of threat intelligence within the partnership and will allow Mavinci and other partners in the Wedge ecosystem to better respond to cyber threats in real-time.
"Beginning with our agreement with Wedge in the UK market, and after extensive evaluations of the WedgeARP™ platform, it became clear that it could provide us with the solid real-time threat prevention base that could anchor our security product line-up not only in that market but across Europe. Real-time threat prevention is a must-have in the new digital economies that must continuously battle against unknown cyber threats.” said Muhammed Salih Cetin, CEO of Mavinci.
“Mavinci continues to develop innovative solutions to protect people and the environment and with this agreement we are taking firm steps towards becoming a leading company in the security and defense space. By further integrating the Wedge platform with this OEM partnership, it future-proofs our offerings and will quickly vault us into a leadership position in the EU marketplace.”
With almost a decade of experience, Mavinci Bilişim A.Ş. (Türkiye) has been growing rapidly in the European market. The company continues its focus on offering special solutions to its customers with its expert and experienced research and innovation teams with the goal of developing and offering the right products and software in line with the needs of the market.
“After initially signing Mavinci to a resale agreement in the UK market, both companies quickly realized the huge growth potential for taking the next step into an OEM partnership,” stated Dr. Hongwen Zhang CEO & CTO of Wedge Networks. “Mavinci is a unique organization within its geographical region and application area with its focus on cyber-physical systems and critical infrastructure; where WedgeARP™ excels in providing security. With a shared vision of providing real-time threat prevention to the broader market, Wedge is proud that its WedgeARP™ security platform will help drive Mavinci’s long-term growth.”
