IoT and industrial control system (ICS) security company CyberX has launched a channel partner programme aimed at managed service providers, system integrators, consulting partners, distributors, value-added resellers and technology alliance partners.
The global XCELERATE partner programme, said CyberX, aims to provide partners with the resources they need to secure enterprise IoT/ICS environments and to maximise their market share.
“As boards and CISOs grow increasingly concerned about the risks posed by unmanaged 'smart' devices and the expanding attack surface they represent, there is a growing need for agentless, purpose-built IoT/ICS cybersecurity,” said the vendor.
XCELERATE includes technical support, online training, deal registration, marketing development funds and a dedicated partner portal. CyberX offers agentless, non-invasive network security monitoring that is easy to deploy and delivers insights less than an hour after being connected to the network, maintains the vendor. The company’s platform incorporates patented, M2M-specific behavioural analytics for faster and more accurate threat detection, while integrating “out-of-the-box” with existing security stacks to provide security operations centres with continuous real-time visibility.
“As a channel-first company, CyberX is committed to working with channel partners to deliver the best experience for mutual customers while securing the global economy and critical infrastructure upon which we all depend,” said Buck Watia, VP of alliances and channels at CyberX.
“Our commitment to our partners is to be flexible, easy to do business with and to support their constantly evolving business requirements.”
CyberX technology partners include Splunk, IBM Security, ServiceNow, Fortinet, HPE/Aruba, Cisco, RSA and McAfee. Last week, Pulse Secure and Nozomi Networks completed a technology integration [http://www.iteuropa.com/news/pulse-secure-and-nozomi-match-secure-iot] that extends the zero trust protection provided by the Pulse Secure Access Suite to the industrial IoT, ICS and OT technologies that Nozomi focuses on.
