Forescout Rolls Out Overhaul of Partner Program

Forescout Technologies, Inc., a San Jose-based cybersecurity company, has announced the redesign of its channel program, “Forescout Envision.” The company is activating a new service provider component intended to welcome service delivery, support, training, and consulting partners. Forescout managed services partners can also attain new solution-specific specializations.

“A one-size-fits-all approach does not serve the best interests of today’s modern service providers. Forescout aims to be the top growth enabler for the companies it’s privileged to call partners,” said David Creed, Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales, Forescout. “We have transformed the underpinnings of the Envision program and enablement framework to create an entirely new certification process that reduces the time to market for our partners, no matter their size or geographic location.”

Forescout managed services partners can obtain technology certifications, including Network Security, which features Network Access Control, Segmentation Management, and Zero Trust Assurance. An OT Security Certification is designed to help partners build practices around Visibility as a Service, Asset Management, and Operational Risk Management. A Cyber Risk Exposure Certification focuses on topics such as cyber hygiene, vulnerability management, device compliance, and audit readiness, enabling customers to proactively manage and mitigate risks. In addition, a Threat Detection Response Certification facilitates the use of a threat detection engine and an intuitive cloud-based platform used to support log correlation, security operations efficiency, and incident response.

Channel Impact^®
The program update, which had been piloted in North America and recently expanded to additional regions, is intended to provide the necessary training and tools to support scalable cybersecurity service delivery and efficiently drive forward customer projects.
