Cloud security company Menlo Security has announced new initiatives and tools to grow its Boost! Channel Program, according to a prepared statement.
The initiatives and tools incentivize MSSPs, systems integrators (SIs) and technology distributors and resellers to join Boost!, Menlo noted. They also support Menlo's international expansion and growth through the channel.
A Closer Look at the Boost! Channel Program
Boost! partners can access specialized reseller and distributor tools for on-boarding new customers and provisioning end users, Menlo said. They also can utilize a new learning management system portal, sales and marketing training and dedicated sales and pre-sales support.
Meanwhile, Menlo plans to invest 30% of its global marketing budget in partner-led field events over the next 12 months, the company stated. It also intends to release new tools to selected partners that they can use to assess a customer's level of exposure to highly evasive adaptive threats (HEAT) that target web browsers.
