Credence Security Appoints Kevin Buchler as Head of
Forensics
Seasoned professional joining PAN-EMEA specialty distributor to focus on
growth as the region sees an unceasing rise of cybersecurity threats and

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 1, 2021 -- Kevin Buchler has been
named the Head of Digital Forensics & Incident Response at Credence Security:
the PAN-EMEA specialty distributor of cybersecurity, digital forensics,
governance, risk, and compliance solutions. Kevin will lead the digital forensics
business across the Middle East and India region. Buchler is a seasoned sales
and channel professional with a proven track record delivering results in all
aspects of the channel community, from specialized resellers, distribution, and
vendors at companies like MCMS, LG Electronics, Mustek Distribution, and Acer.

“I'm excited to join the largest digital forensics focused distributor in the
region,” said Buchler. “They not only have an unparalleled understanding of the
region, but also a wonderful reputation for delivering leading digital forensic
technologies and solutions.” Buchler most recently ran sales and channel
across Africa for digital forensics vendor MCMS – Detego.
Credence Security is built on four focus pillars of the business: Continuous
Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment, Data Protection and Governance, Digital
Forensics and Incident Response and Identity, Payments and Data Security.
Unlike most other distributors, Credence Security takes a consultative 'value-

add' solution approach, collaborating with partners and customers to
understand their needs, both from a technology and business perspective.
“Buchler’s hire is timely, when it comes to the ever-growing increase of
cyberattacks, with both the private and government sectors feeling the
effects,” said Garreth Scott, Credence Security's Managing Director. “Indeed,
regional industries including banking & finance, oil & gas and critical
infrastructure are constantly finding themselves in the crosshairs of
cybercrime, making them the most heavily targeted sectors in the region.” The
UAE, for instance, has seen a 250% increase in cyberattacks in the past year,
with phishing and ransomware incidents increasing rapidly in frequency.
The global Digital Forensics market is expected to reach USD 7410.9 million by
2025 with the emergence of computing shaped by the Internet of Things (IoT)
and the rapid increase in the number of mobiles, computers, and other
electronic devices across the globe. Growth in the Digital Forensic sector is
further driven by increases in financials-related crimes, including insurance
fraud, investment fraud, robbery, forgery, identity theft. The outbreak of
COVID-19 and its aftermath are expected to boost the digital forensics market
as it helps to tackle increased fraudulent activities.
“We are committed to expanding our already well-established channel
community across the Middle East, Africa, and India region while continuing to
bring leading global digital forensics vendors to the region,” said Philip Cherian,
Credence Security's Channel Director. “We see ourselves as an extension of our
vendors in providing pre- and post-sales support.”
