Portnox launches global channel partner program led by Kristen Knight

Portnox launches a new partner program at an important time for enterprise security, led by seasoned executive Kristen Knight

Portnox has announced the launch of its global channel partner program. Under the leadership of Kristen Knight, the newly appointed Vice President of Channel Sales, the program is set to expand Portnox's reach and help enhance passwordless and Zero Trust security.

In today's rapidly changing digital landscape, enterprises are navigating transformations such as cloud migration, AI deployment, and hybrid working environments. These changes introduce new vulnerabilities and challenges that traditional security models struggle to address effectively.

The formalised Portnox channel program introduces a framework aimed at empowering resellers, Value-Added Resellers (VARs), and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to support customers effectively in this dynamic landscape. The program endeavours to offer structural support to aid partners in delivering security solutions.

With leadership experience spanning companies like Barracuda and Mimecast, Knight is tasked with widening Portnox's influence across both North American and global markets.

The Portnox Partner Program is designed to provide partners with:

  1. Strategic Positioning & Differentiation: Providing partners access to research and data that aligns technical solutions with measurable business outcomes.
  2. Incentives & High Margins: Simplified processes for deal registration facilitating revenues and protection.
  3. Comprehensive Training: Tailored sales and technical training to equip partners with necessary skills and support.
  4. Hands-On Partner Enablement: Structured onboarding and collaborative go-to-market strategies ensure partners are well-integrated.
  5. Simple Deployment: Utilising a 100% SaaS model for swift deployment across client bases, negating the need for on-premises hardware.

As highlighted by Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox, the security landscape requires a balance between digital transformation and security measures. Under Kristen's leadership, Portnox aims to eliminate this compromise by offering security solutions that deliver outcomes and returns on investment.

This initiative not only seeks to strengthen Portnox's market presence but also amplify their focus to provide security solutions without compromising on speed or efficacy.
