Cloud infrastructure security vendor Ermetic has launched its Synergia Partner Program to help recruit more resellers across EMEA.
The programme is aimed at IT service providers, systems integrators, consultants, MSPs/MSSPs and ISVs, to deliver “turn-key” cloud security solutions that span cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) and cloud security posture management (CSPM), for AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform environments.
Existing partners include Trace3, Marcum Technology, Cyberuptive, HI Tech Hui, SolCyber and Tecflair.
The Ermetic Cloud Security platform detects and remediates “excessive, risky privileges and resource misconfigurations” (such as databases exposed to the internet) on a continuous basis. It does this by analysing identities and permissions, along with the configuration of network, storage and secret assets.
“We are experiencing high demand for our comprehensive identity-first cloud infrastructure security solution and have created a value-driven programme to enlist security-oriented partners, so we can all capitalise on this market opportunity,” said Shawn Larsen, head of channel and alliances for Ermetic. “We are investing in partners by providing predictable sales incentives, technical resources for joint sales engagements, enablement training to expand partner capabilities, and transparent opportunity collaboration to ensure their success.”
Customer use cases that Ermetic channel partners can monetise, include: continuous cloud security risk assessment and least privilege; audit and remediate unnecessary, excessive and risky entitlements; perform routine assessment of configurations across cloud environments, and audit compliance with leading standards and benchmarks; and enable clients to execute zero trust mandates using auto-generated access policy recommendations for DevOps, that optimise security while supporting end user productivity.
“We are helping clients from all verticals develop a cloud security strategy and implementation plan, because it has become a priority across most enterprises,” said Derek Smith, director of strategic alliances for Trace3’s cloud solutions group. “We see entitlement and configuration management as must-haves for securing the cloud attack surface, which is why we are offering these capabilities with Ermetic to our clients.”
