Cyberoam, a leading global provider of network security appliances, has announced a special rebate programme for its partners in South Africa.

Cyberoam has won several accolades on the product front and has a strong channel presence across the globe. The company continues to gather phenomenal response from its partner oriented programs.

Unlike traditional partner programs, Cyberoam Rebate Program is unique in many ways. The rebate works on the structure defined under Cyberoam Partner Program which classifies partner community into four categories viz. Authorised Partners, Silver Partners, Gold Partners and Platinum Partners.

This rebate is made available for Gold and Platinum partners. Though the targets for Platinum and Gold Partners are different, they will get the same rebate on achieving their targets.

The rebate is on top of other incentives that partners get under the Cyberoam Partner Program.

“The partner community at Cyberoam contributes in their different capacities with some specialising in the SMB segment while others have expertise in the enterprise and MSSP business. This ensures that all players get maximum opportunities for growth. To make sure that partners are able to meet their targets and set bigger ones, each year Cyberoam announces several incentives. Such benefits are rarely seen in our business and gives us a unique differentiation over the market.” says Adrian Anema, country manager, South Africa Cyberoam.

To claim the rebate, Cyberoam partners need to login to Cyberoam Partner Portal and upload invoices for the same. On approval of rebate application, reward points will be credited to partner’s account, which will also be communicated by a confirmation mail.

Cyberoam secures global corporations of all sizes and industries including education, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, retail, IT sectors, and more, and offers features to address industry-specific security challenges.

Cyberoam’s channel comprises of experienced network security professionals, leading IT solutions providers, application developers, system integrators, managed security service providers and VARs. The company provides extensive support for marketing, co-branding and lead-generation activities.

Speaking about the program, Mr. Anema added “We provide truly unique offerings out there in the security market.We are also committed to create more incentives for partners, and the best way to achieve that is to make it more profitable, and that’s why we are going to step up rebate incentives. This is a first-of-its kind rebate program and we feel it will translate into tremendous success for our growing partner base.”

Cyberoam Partners can develop their own Security Operations Center (SOC) and develop a portfolio of range of security services using Cyberoam’s security solutions (UTMs and NGFWs), partner portal and cloud based infrastructure (CCMS), committed presales support and industry-leading ISO 20000 certified customer support.

Also they can become certified or “specialized” in such areas as managed security, security for virtualization and explore higher growth avenues beyond box selling. For MSSP partners, looking at augmenting managed security delivery, Cyberoam has announced availability of API support.

Cyberoam partners are now also getting the opportunity to enter newer product segments with Sophos’ Enduser Protection Suites, Endpoint AV, Mobile Control and SafeGuard Encryption.
