StillSecure's New Alliance Partner Program Provides Channel Partners With High-Margins and Recurring Revenue in the Network Security Market(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SUPERIOR, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/13/09 -- StillSecure®, provider of comprehensive network security products and services, today announced the StillSecure Alliance Partner Program(TM), a new channel program that enables data center operators, collocation providers, systems integrators, VARs, consultants, and managed service providers (MSPs) to increase their market opportunity and revenue potential. In addition to the over 100 existing StillSecure channel partners, three new channel partners helped kick off the new program, including BlueBridge Networks, LLC, NopSec, Inc., and GBprotect, Inc. The StillSecure Alliance Partner Program includes three partnership levels: -- Powered by ProtectPoint(TM) -- Gives data centers, collocation facilities, and MSPs the ability to earn recurring revenue by providing a fully managed security solution without the infrastructure outlays normally associated with becoming a managed security solutions provider (MSSP). StillSecure's ProtectPoint offering provides the support structure through a SAS-70 Type II audited Security Operations Center (SOC) that's staffed with security experts around the clock. -- Platinum Alliance -- Designed for resellers and systems integrators with the infrastructure and resources to sell, implement, and support StillSecure's network security products. Partners leverage deep discounts and opportunities for professional services in the areas of network access control (NAC), intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS), and vulnerability management. Sales and technical certification training ensures that partners are properly armed for success. -- Gold Alliance -- A lead referral program ideal for consultants, systems integrators and Quality Security Assessors (QSAs) that are eager to assist their customers with network security needs but do not have the time or expertise to provide sales and support services. Partners market the full line of StillSecure products and managed security services and receive a commission once the sale has closed. "As a Powered by ProtectPoint partner, StillSecure makes it easy to add managed security services to our portfolio without requiring any upgrades to or additional investments to our infrastructure," said Jeff Levine, CEO of BlueBridge Networks, LLC.
