Internet security company SonicWall has unveiled an enhanced version of its SecureFirst Managed Security Service Provider (MSSPs) programme to provide the licensing models, resources and tools needed to help MSSPs profitably scale and accelerate their managed security services business
Built on the SonicWall SecureFirst Partner Programme, the enhanced three-tiered MSSP programme offers benefits such as flexible pricing options, tailored premier technical support access, access to MSSP field sales and technical specialists, increased access to co-marketing funds as well as specialisation training and assessments for sales and technical staff.
“As organisations in the region are forced to review their business continuity plans as a result of the ongoing health crisis, cybercriminals are capitalising on trends that play on human behaviour and response to fear. In addition, the explosion of exposure points has not only increased the attack surface area of organisations, it has also taxed IT departments that increasingly call upon MSSPs to help mitigate the rapidly growing threat volume,” said SonicWall vice-president, Global MSSP & Carrier Sales, Luca Taglioretti.
Taglioretti added, “Due to the unprecedented need to quickly and efficiently deploy security to rapidly expanding remote workforces, SonicWall will include its Secure Mobile Access (SMA) solution for MSSPs, allowing managed security service providers to swiftly deploy and scale on-demand security and connectivity at costs based on the number of concurrent users.”
“These enhancements to our MSSP program are aimed at bringing value to participating partners in the areas of flexible pricing options including monthly subscriptions, simplified operations through our automation tools, priority technical support access and go-to-market collaboration,” said SonicWall vice-president, Global Channel Sales, HoJin Kim.
