The new partner program significantly upgrades the overall framework, increases investment in partner relationships on a massive scale, and allows partners to drive their business, while Vectra focuses on ensuring customer success. Building on its rapid momentum as a trailblazer in the NDR market, Vectra was recently recognized in the Gartner 2020 Market Guide for NDR.
“Vectra has always been a channel-focused company and we are thrilled to roll out new benefits that strengthen the way our partners conduct business,” said Hitesh Sheth, president and CEO at Vectra. “NDR is gaining unprecedented traction and we look forward to strengthening our partnerships with a scalable partner framework and training program.”
The Vectra global channel partner program now offers three categories based on the organization’s market approach: sell (resell Vectra); deliver services (deliver Vectra services with partner solutions); and manage services (implement Vectra as a managed service).
The program is further customized into tiers based on each partner’s level of commitment, ensuring they can design the program to fit their unique needs. Ambassador partners are industry-leading professionals who have demonstrated higher levels of capability and performance. Authorized partners are in the early stages of their relationship with Vectra and will take part in the new sales accreditation and technical certification training.
“Vectra’s new partner program provides us with the support and enablement we need to build a robust, high-growth security business. Our Vectra partner status demonstrates Core to Cloud’s commitment and ability to deliver business value from the Cognito NDR platform for our customers,” said James Cunningham, Founding Director at Core to Cloud.
“We are excited to be working with Vectra,” said Grant Paling, global services product manager at Orange CyberDefense. “The strong focus on network detection and response compliments our service offering perfectly, as Orange CyberDefense provides managed capabilities for both holistic visibility and actionable insights that allow customers to secure their widening digital footprints from attack. The introduction of the Vectra partner program has further helped to improve the ease of engagement through better flexibility and alignment to our model as a managed security services provider.”
