Anti-ransomware solution provider, Halcyon, recently announced the appointment of veteran channel leader, Dave Pawloski, as Worldwide Vice President of Channel and MSSP.
New leader tapped to expand partner reach while scaling ransomware solutions
Pawlowski will be charged with leading Halcyon’s partner ecosystem strategy to accelerate growth, expand global reach, and enable partners to provide next-gen ransomware defense at scale.
“Dave has a remarkable track record of enabling partners to succeed in some of the most competitive markets in cybersecurity,” said Jon Miller, CEO and co-founder of Halcyon. “His vision and leadership will be instrumental in expanding Halcyon’s channel program and equipping our partners with the tools they need to help customers strengthen their resilience against ransomware.”
Halcyon’s new channel leader brings over two decades of global channel and go-to-market leadership, along with expertise in building and scaling diverse partner ecosystems spanning managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs), value-added resellers (VARs), distributors, national partners, and global systems integrators (GSIs).
“Halcyon is redefining how organizations approach ransomware defense, and I’m excited to join the team at such a pivotal moment,” said Pawlowski. “Partners play a critical role in extending this mission globally, and I look forward to working with our ecosystem to accelerate growth, drive innovation, and deliver unmatched value for our customers.”
Halcyon growing its channel footprint
Halcyon continues to grow its channel footprint by building alliances with other organizations.
Earlier this year, Halcyon teamed up with Pax8 to bring its anti-ransomware platform to Pax8’s cloud marketplace.
“We are thrilled to have award-winning Halcyon join the Pax8 Marketplace with this much-needed anti-ransomware platform for our partners,” said Ryan Burton, VP of marketplace vendor strategy at Pax8, at the time of the announcement. “The fact that Halcyon combines multiple advanced prevention engines, key interception, automated recovery, and enhanced third-party security controls protection all in one platform makes it a game-changer for Pax8 partners to protect their end-user customers at an even higher level.”
Halcyon’s platform utilizes a layered, lightweight approach with built-in resilience to prevent ransomware from impacting business operations of all sizes. It prevents attackers from breaching a user’s network at all phases of the attack with a proprietary engine that targets ransomware.
