On February 5, a Value Added Dinner business dinner took place in Baku. The event was dedicated to reviewing the iIT Distribution solution portfolio and developing strategic cooperation with partners. The intimate format allowed for a focus on professional dialogue and discussion of real market challenges.
The event was opened by Elnur Khalilzade, iITD Country Manager, presenting the strategically important exclusive vendors of the company—Cribl, Censys, and Vectra AI. Special attention was given to the flagship direction of iIT Distribution—the CrowdStrike solution.
Elnur also shared examples of successfully implemented projects in Baku, emphasizing the company’s real contribution to the development of cybersecurity in the local market.
Within the program, Oleksii Naida, BDM (Cribl, Black Duck, and Sonar), presented the key solutions of iIT Distribution and highlighted the strategic approach to managing cybersecurity and IT infrastructure.
Today, businesses face an increase in application attacks, risks associated with using open-source components, and tightening regulatory requirements. In many organizations, security is still integrated at the final stages of development, making it more time-consuming, resource-intensive, and costly to fix vulnerabilities.
Oleksii presented Black Duck and Sonar solutions, demonstrating modern approaches to integrating security at every stage of the SDLC.
He emphasized that cybersecurity must be an integral part of the development process. Early code testing (SAST, SCA) enables the identification of vulnerabilities before production deployment, reduces business risks, optimizes remediation costs, and ensures compliance with security standards and regulatory requirements.
Special attention was given to effective data management. Using Cribl as an example, it was shown how proper telemetry flow management improves infrastructure transparency, reduces costs, and enables extracting more analytical value from existing resources.
The final presentation focused on digital identity and access management using Ping Identity solutions. Topics included managing internal and external users, automating access processes, regulatory compliance, and the role of artificial intelligence in IAM for the enterprise segment.
The first business dinner in Baku became an important platform for strategic synchronization with partners. The atmosphere of the event was open and professional, with discussions continuing even after the official part.
For our company, the energy, engagement, and drive of partners to jointly shape the future of cybersecurity are especially valuable. We sincerely thank our partners for their trust and active participation, and the iIT Distribution team for their professionalism and support.
