PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – July 13, 2011 – NitroSecurity, Inc., the leader in high-performance, content-aware security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, today introduced enhancements to its award-winning NitroConnect Partner Program to further engage and empower value added resellers and systems integrators.

To help channel partners effectively grow their cybersecurity businesses and deliver strategic solutions built on its top-rated NitroView SIEM platform, NitroSecurity’s NitroConnect Partner Program now features the following elements:

Two Authorization Levels – NitroSecurity makes it simple for new partners to get started and collaborates with them to determine an appropriate level of commitment – either Authorized Reseller or Strategic Solution Partner. Also, NitroSecurity provides partners with clearly-defined expectations and requirements, and corresponding services, discounts, benefits and margin incentives – including pre- and post-sales support, qualified lead generation and joint marketing activities – based on their engagement level.

Online Deal Registration – Partners that identify and register customer opportunities within the NitroSecurity Partner Portal are rewarded with guaranteed deal protection and greater discounts to help them achieve margin targets.

Technical Training Programs – Through comprehensive and structured technical training, partners can attain “Nitro Certified Partner Engineer” status, accelerate time to deployment and rapidly deliver strategic value to their customers.

Monthly Solution Update Sessions – Through use case scenarios including insider threats, fraud detection, advanced targeted attacks and regulatory compliance, partners learn how to quickly identify security challenges and tightly integrate SIEM, log management, application data monitoring, database activity monitoring and IPS into a single, cost-effective security solution tailored to meet their customers’ needs.

“The speed and flexibility of NitroSecurity solutions removes the frustrations that many businesses experienced with earlier SIEM deployments. With NitroView, security analysts can more rapidly correlate log data and efficiently identify and mitigate potential security threats. And NitroSecurity technology is backed by world-class support, engineering and sales teams committed to making SIEM successful,” said Joshua Huston, Founder and Information Security Advisor of Exultium. “Additionally, this strong partnership with NitroSecurity has opened up tremendous value-added opportunities for Exultium. Our new NitroSecurity co-managed service helps enterprises truly leverage their security investments. Organizations enjoy a continuously tuned and efficient SIEM environment based on NitroView, and the co-managed model offers them an effective alternative to completely outsourcing operations.”

“Our experience shows that NitroSecurity is the fastest, most scalable and cost-effective solution for collecting, analyzing and reporting network events. In addition to providing an enterprise-class security solution at a compelling price, NitroSecurity has the staff and expertise we need to ensure successful deployments for our end-user customers,” said John Papaioannou, President of PromeNet Inc. “NitroSecurity’s partner program allows VARs like us with a security focus to add value and profit to our bottom line. Their technical, sales and marketing teams are knowledgeable, experienced and go out of their way to ensure partners’ and end customers’ needs are met and exceeded.”

“The SIEM market is growing over 20% annually and represents a tremendous business opportunity for security-focused channel organizations. Our mission is to cultivate mutually beneficial, strategic relationships with partners that are an extension of NitroSecurity,” said Doug Bailey, EVP of Business Development at NitroSecurity. “From technical training to dedicated account managers, security engineers and more, we will continue to arm industry-leading VARs and solution providers with resources and information to help them exceed customers’ security objectives.”
