Trustmarque provides expertise in the provision of technology services and solutions, helping organisations to achieve the maximum from their IT investment. This partnership represents a renewed focus on the EMEA market for DigitalPersona.

With the appointment of a bolstered channel team earlier this year, DigitalPersona is focusing on expanding its business and range of authentication solutions throughout the EMEA region.
