“Enterprises are looking to fortify cyber defences, be more responsive to exposure and manage risk, while at the same time wrestling with the shortage of security talent. Organisations will continue to expand their relationships with value added resellers that offer needed expertise, selection and implementation capabilities, and managed services," said Tony Massimini, Cybersecurity Senior Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan. “Interoperable security platforms, such as Pulse’s Secure Access suites, offer the consolidated functional, operational and cost advantages sought by enterprises, resellers and service providers alike.”

“Our growth has been driven by superior product and customer satisfaction, achieved by our sustained investment to create a single, integrated secure access platform,” said Alan Finden, Channel and Distribution Director, EMEA for Pulse Secure. “We designed the Access Now programme to enable our channel partners to make the investments in training and effort we need to jointly succeed in bringing this unique platform to our mutual customers.”

“The new Pulse Secure partner programme is very good news for the market and a positive step forward for the leading provider of secure access solutions. It fully demonstrates Pulse Secure's commitment to the Channel,” said Kizitho Ilongo, Director, Westcon France, Cybersecurity, Networking, Unified Communications & Collaboration.

As part of the Pulse Secure Access Now partner programme, the company will recognise three programme tiers: Authorised, Preferred and Elite. Each level represents the partner's proficiency, expertise and growth in selling Pulse Secure solutions to their customers. Partner rewards and incentives are differentiated at each level and will reflect the partner's investment in Pulse Secure's solutions. Along with the programme's easy to understand structure, partners will also benefit from a dedicated support team.
