Cyberoam, a leading global provider of network security solutions – today announced a collaborative partnership initiative ‘Technology Alliance partnership’ (TAP) programme, designed to provide the infrastructure and support for third-party organizations, MSSPs and system integrators to integrate their solutions with Cyberoam’s security products and offerings for large enterprises and other customers.

The programme aims to build a partner ecosystem with a wide variety of vendors, partners and service providers to deliver interoperable, flexible and innovative security solutions.

Enterprise networking has come to experience a sea-change in recent years. As enterprises and service providers take ‘best-of-breed’ approach for securing networks against evolving threat landscape and disruptive trends, they now face another riddle in integration, besides other traditional challenges involving cost, downtime and implementation issues.

From user authentication to IT automation, security technologies need to integrate seamlessly with other systems and solutions to provide a more collaborative and simplified networking for enterprise organizations and mobile workforce.

Says Ajay Nawani, global presales head, Cyberoam “For today’s evolving milieu in enterprise networking, Cyberoam understands how customers benefit from having improved interoperability, economies of scale and easy integration in a multi-vendor scenario. With TAP program, we intend to tap into innovative partnerships with vendors, systems integrators and MSSPs while providing our existing partners with a broader and enriched value proposition to market.”
“Technology Alliance Partnership (TAP) program has been planned to facilitate strategic benefits to our mutual customers and channel partners,” added Ajay Nawani. “We are driving more investments in our partner ecosystem and are determined to meet the growing demand for interoperable security solutions.”
