ICYMI Portnox, a provider of universal zero trust security solutions, has launched its new global channel partner program, and it will be led by newly appointed vice president of channel sales Kristen Knight, a veteran cybersecurity executive with experience in scaling channel ecosystems at security firms. Though Portnox has more than 100 active reseller agreements worldwide, this new formal program introduces a structured framework designed to empower and incentivize resellers, VARs and MSSPs to accelerate customers’ passwordless and zero trust evolution, officials said. A key feature of the program includes access to independently validated business outcomes and industry research that’s intended to “translate technical capabilities into board-level conversations about measurable security value,” the company said. Other benefits include incentives and high margins, comprehensive training, onboarding and collaborative go-to-market resources. In addition, the fully SaaS approach is designed to enable partners to deploy across customer bases quickly, without on-premises hardware, officials said. Knight joins Portnox after previously holding senior leadership roles in the IT security sector for companies including Barracuda and Mimecast. She’ll be tasked with expanding the company’s footprint across the U.S. and international markets, bringing the company’s cloud-native NAC and ZTNA solutions to a wider network of partners. “Our new program is built on the philosophy of ‘hands-on enablement,’” said Knight. “We aren’t just giving partners a portal; we are providing the personal training, generous incentives and technical support they need to deliver immediate value to their customers.” C3 Complete announced a strategic partnership with NerdsToGo and its parent company, Techy, to expand managed IT services nationwide. NerdsToGo operates a nationwide network of more than 30 franchise locations, delivering managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, technology staffing and business continuity solutions. Through the partnership, NerdsToGo will leverage C3 Complete’s solutions portfolio, certified engineers and vendor relationships, enabling NerdsToGo franchisees to offer a broader range of IT solutions. “At C3 Complete, we’re excited to work alongside NerdsToGo in supporting their franchisees by filling in the gaps to help ensure reliable solutions for their local customers,” said Rick Mancinelli, founder and CEO of C3 Complete.
