On June 14, Forescout Technologies, a leader in automated cybersecurity, announced the expansion of its Envision Channel Program. It has launched a new Managed Service Provider (MSP) Partner Program to support customers with advanced technical and professional service capabilities.
Forescout will offer its experienced and technically capable partners new flexible licensing options, specialized resources, and consumption billing through this new addition. It also improves the partner-owned customer deployment and support experience. BT and Accenture, Forescout’s existing partners, played a crucial role in driving program enhancements to meet the increasing security challenges of their global customers.
Kevin Brown, Managing Director, Security for BT, said: “Cybersecurity is top of mind for our customers, who all want to ensure they’ve got the best protections for their most critical assets."
Kevin Brown, Managing Director, Security for BT, said: “Cybersecurity is top of mind for our customers, who all want to ensure they’ve got the best protections for their most critical assets. BT has partnered with Forescout for several years, and we have more than 50 Forescout-accredited technical professionals supporting customer deployments around the world. This new program enhancement aligns with our customers’ demand for faster, more integrated solutions that tackle the changing threat landscape and enable their opportunities.”
“Forescout’s channel program has played a pivotal role in our company’s business journey. Our channel partners have helped countless enterprises around the globe obtain more visibility of their cyber assets to quickly mitigate critical risks,” said Keith Weatherford, vice president of worldwide channel sales, Forescout. “The evolving digital terrain is creating new demand to activate Forescout services and capabilities so these new initiatives will provide a seamless set of training and enablement resources to support them on this path.”
“We see this program as a great extension of the value we have been delivering to clients in partnership with Forescout,” said Jamie Bass, Managing Director, Security, Accenture. “Allowing an organization to more easily leverage Forescout’s industry leading capabilities in network visibility as a service supported by our global delivery team reduces the requirement to hire and train an organization’s own team to deploy and run the solution.”
The new Forescout Envision Channel Program offers:
-
Managed Services and Service Delivery Partner Program: Provides highly qualified partners with flexible licensing and billing options in exchange for owning the customer support experience
-
Updated Partner Portal and New Forescout Academy Platform: Quick access to digitally rich learning resources and assets to demonstrate and be recognized for technical competencies across the Forescout platform and broad set of capabilities.
-
Partner Learning Journey Expansion: As part of the new direction for the Envision Channel Program, Forescout has developed an Accredited Engineer course for technical partner staff to be introduced to the Forescout Continuum Platform. Additionally, it has created the Forescout Forerunner Program which recognizes partners who accelerate onboarding and service delivery for client end-users.
The new accreditations for partner engineerd and technical support and the Managed Service Program will help Forescout recognize and reward its global partner ecosystem for accelerating revenue output and appreciating their contribution to the company’s success.
