IKANOW Launches Partner Program

IKANOW Announces New Partner Program

IKANOW, a provider of open-source information security analytics, launched a new channel partner program for resellers, integrators, and service providers. The IKANOW Preferred Partner Program was created to meet increased demand from mid- to large-size enterprise customers for the company’s Information Security Analytics (ISA) solution. Program benefits include technical guidance, sales and marketing support, and financial incentives

The ISA solution reduces the time to breach detection by aggregating data across all data sources and identifying anomalies, while the risk-based vulnerability prioritization capability enables information security teams and managed security service providers (MSSPs) to focus on the most critical items. For partners, this creates opportunities for new revenue streams, the company said. The program is currently available in North America and will expand globally over the next several months.
