TrapX Security Announces Global Partner Program

TrapX Security announced the launch of its new global partner program this week, as the company looks to increase worldwide awareness and availability of its products. The virtual appliance-based security platform solution provider will offer several options to complement partners' offerings, helping them deepen their customer relationships and gain new revenue opportunities, according to the company.

With the new partner program, TrapX said it hopes to meet its enterprise customers’ demand for protection against increasingly aggressive malware and hacking attempts. The TrapX Security Operation Center (TSOC) enables quick deployment of entire secure SOCs and sensors, saving time and money while bringing advanced security capabilities to enterprise users, according to the press release.

“Our partners have the instant reach and scalability to bring our disruptive security capabilities to market and support our mutual customers,” said Mark Cashman, vice president of Channel Sales at TrapX, in a statement. “Our go-to-market strategy is built around the channel and we know our partners are best able to support our mutual customers.”

TrapX is offering three ways for resellers to become a part of the new program. Resellers can sign on as either a managed security service provider (MSSP), VAR or strategic technology partner. MSSPs can sell TrapX’s HoneyGRID capabilities under a monthly subscription model, while VARs are eligible to resell TrapX Adaptive Defense Technologies. Strategic technology partners will be tasked with integrating TrapX technologies with complementary products or services.

The company plans to conduct its own marketing and sales activities and generate leads for qualifying partners based on their specific business needs, sponsorship and funding. Other standard partner program benefits such as market development funds, sales and product training and an online partner portal are also included. Interested resellers can sign up to become partners through the company’s website.
