NetWitness, an RSA business and trusted provider of cybersecurity technologies and incident response services, has unveiled a new Partner Programme designed to better meet the needs of its ecosystem of channel resellers, distributors and managed security service providers (MSSPs) working with enterprises around the globe. The new scheme is tailored for partners working to help their customers respond to and prepare for cyberthreats that are constantly growing in frequency, scale, and sophistication. Additionally, RSA and NetWitness veteran Corné van Rooij has been promoted to lead NetWitness’ worldwide channel organisation.
The NetWitness Partner Programme provides partner organisations with improved and simplified operations and processes, a wider breadth of training and enablement, and enhanced partner marketing opportunities and resources. In addition, the new programme puts a greater emphasis on education, so that partners can continue addressing the ever-evolving cybersecurity concerns of their enterprise customers.
“Cybersecurity is a very dynamic field. As the needs and concerns of customers have progressed and become more advanced, we realised that there was an opportunity to revamp how we work with our partners so that we can continue providing the insight, visibility, and access that our customers require,” said Dave Govan, Chief Revenue Officer, NetWitness. “Our partners play an integral role in enabling enterprises to detect threats and take action to mitigate them, and our new program is now better positioned to support them in this mission.”
New programme benefits include:
- Increased investment in technical training for partners, including additional educational material, instructor-led training sessions, on-demand sessions, and an improved path to certification, to enhance partner familiarity and proficiency with NetWitness offerings
- Several options for hands-on product demonstrations and trials, both on premise and in the cloud, free of charge, to provide greater access to showcasing the NetWitness Platform in real-world environments
- Simplified rules, protocols, and processes to make it easier for partners to work with NetWitness to close sales.
Govan added: “The success of our new channel programme depends on having strong leadership guiding its strategy and execution. Corné has proven himself time and again as an advocate for the mutual success of our partners and NetWitness, as we all work together to help organisations around the world protect their critical systems and data from cyberthreats. We’re thrilled to have him lead our new programme.”
