Lacework, a data-driven cloud security company, announces major enhancements to the Lacework Partner Program that will drive improved business outcomes for customers. The program helps partners focus on the specific security needs of customers, making it easier to help organizations find the best security solution for their environment with the Lacework Polygraph Data Platform. Customers receive faster time to protection and insights and ongoing support for their cloud security solution.
For years, Lacework built and continuously expanded its partner program to address the never-ending challenge of cloud security and reward its partners with industry-leading discounts, incentives and enablement to facilitate customer conversation.
With increasing customer demand for cloud security solutions, partners are essential to meeting the needs of these cloud businesses and are involved in 85 percent of all new deals. Lacework includes new features and capabilities, such as:
- Capture the Flag – A hands-on game and enablement tool that exposes teams to how the Lacework cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is used to solve complex cloud security problems with mock incidents in a fun and competitive way. A Capture the Flag (CTF) session is designed for partners and/or prospective customers to experience a test drive of Lacework and the breadth of use cases without having to deploy it into their environment.
- Cloud Service Assessments (CSA) – Complimentary one-week access to Lacework to complete a rapid risk assessment in a customer’s environment to uncover and report on risks within an organization’s cloud posture. From installation to report generation, the CSA automatically generates a bespoke report in less than one hour. The CSA is available to customers in the AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is implemented through a certified AWS Partner
- Enhanced post-sale services – New certifications for partners to deliver post-sales services to customers, helping to support the Lacework platform, integrate existing tools together, and optimize cloud environments. These enhancements also make it possible for partners to provide managed services for ongoing support to customers
Furthering its commitment to customers, Lacework created a new Managed Service Provider (MSP) Program within the Lacework Partner Program. Designed for MSPs, this initiative is for partners who deliver security outcomes for their customers as part of a whole stack service offering. The Lacework MSP Program allows organizations without a full security team to bring Lacework to their environment, without having to worry about building their own team.
“Cloud security is already an uphill battle, and today’s macroeconomic environment only poses further challenges as enterprises seek to protect their continuously changing environments with fewer resources,” said Brian Lanigan, VP, of Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Lacework. “That’s why we strive to make securing the cloud as seamless as possible for organizations of all sizes. By working together with our global network of VARs, MSSPs, SIs, and CSPs, we can help customers achieve the best security outcome for their business while also benefiting the entire partner community.”
