Tremendous Growth of eEye's North American Partner Network Demonstrates Ongoing Commitment to Channel
(ALISO VIEJO, CA) May 19, 2004 — eEye® Digital Security, a leading developer of vulnerability management software solutions for enterprise security, today announced the addition of the 200th authorized reseller to its North American partner network, making eEye’s channel program one of the largest and most comprehensive programs within the vulnerability management market. eEye's commitment to its channel extends to its successful relationships with leading networking and security resellers, solution providers and system integrators – all of which have realized the tremendous opportunity represented by vulnerability management market, currently growing around 20% annually, according to IDC.
“Meeting ever-increasing security requirements is a major pain point for many of our customers as they strive to secure their enterprises and the sensitive corporate information within their networks,” said John Menezes, vice president at Cyberklix, an eEye Enterprise Channel Partner. “eEye’s products round out our existing solution set and provide our customers with cutting-edge security solutions. More important is that eEye has been a true partner for us. They give us the comprehensive training and support to address the security needs of our customers at the highest level.”
Unlike many security vendors, eEye does not compete with its channel partners by offering implementation or integration services. eEye’s vulnerability management offerings complement existing security solutions in resellers’ product portfolios — such as firewalls or intrusion detection systems — rather than competing with and/or replacing them. This provides incremental revenue and profit opportunities for resellers’ existing account base while also making their product offerings more attractive to new customers. eEye's channel partners can generate additional revenue using the Company’s products as the basis for services related to product training, vulnerability assessment, and security policy compliance. eEye also enables partners to incorporate its products into a managed service offering.
eEye's research team has discovered more critical security vulnerabilities than any other organization over the last two years, putting the company in the best possible position to deliver vulnerability management software that addresses the full lifecycle of security threats: before, during, and after attacks. In operation since 1998, eEye’s approach to enterprise security – eliminating vulnerabilities rather than thwarting attacks – has resulted in over 7,500 customer deployments worldwide, including many with global, distributed environments in the financial services, healthcare, transportation and manufacturing industries. eEye’s Retina® Network Security Scanner leads the industry in accuracy, its ability to scan enterprise networks without crashing systems and its open, modular architecture, making it the easiest product on the market to deploy, use, and integrate with existing enterprise applications.
“Given our unwavering channel commitment, recruiting the top security-focused channel partners is my #1 priority,” said Will Corkery, eEye’s vice president of North American channels. “Of course, eEye is also dedicated to continually enhancing its products, training, sales and marketing support programs to ensure its partners are well equipped to meet, and even anticipate, rapidly evolving customer requirements.”
The eEye Partner Network enables channel partners to enhance their product portfolios with eEye’s award-winning vulnerability management solutions. eEye‘s partner program offers various levels of participation, including authorized partners, enterprise partners and solution partners.
