2019 Partner Program Guide: 5-Star Security Vendors
CRN designated the partner programs of these security companies as 5-Star.
Security Standouts
Hardly a week goes by without a new data security horror story making headlines. It's no wonder security remains one of the hottest segments of the IT industry. It can also be the most confusing, for both solution providers and their customers, with so many security products on the market.
Solution providers have many decisions to make about which vendors to work with. Products and technology are a big part of that. But so is the breadth and depth of a vendor's partner program.
The 2019 Partner Program Guide offers information solution providers need to evaluate IT vendors they work with or are considering working with. The guide is based on detailed applications vendors submitted outlining all aspects of their partner programs.
As part of the Partner Program Guide, CRN designates some programs as 5-Star Partner Programs. Here we present the 5-Star designees in the security space.
Other slide shows in the 5-Star Partner Program Guide series running this week include companies that provide systems and data center, networking and unified communications, cloud, storage, software and peripherals technologies.
