Companies should act now and protect all data before they themselves are faced with the costs of a data breach. There is a very real risk that long-lasting damage could be done to a company's reputation and brand
image.

GuardianEdge announces new tiered channel programme and partner portal
The GuardianEdge Trusted Partner Network and advanced online partner portal support channel expansion
October 18, 2007 - GuardianEdge, the leading provider of endpoint data protection for the enterprise has announced its new three-tiered GuardianEdge Trusted Partner Network and redesigned Trusted Partner Portal to help sustain increased European channel expansion.
High profile data breaches and raised public awareness to business data protection in the UK has increased demand for GuardianEdge’s unique family of centrally-managed endpoint data protection solutions for enterprises and government.
In an effort to meet this demand, the GuardianEdge Trusted Partner Network serves members from across the globe; including leading solution providers, system integrators, value-added resellers and managed service providers that specialise in providing security infrastructure expertise and services to their enterprise customers.
The programme provides partners with the marketing and sales tools required to succeed in recommending, selling, deploying and supporting GuardianEdge products. Both attractive margins, which are available to partners at all levels, and a deal registration programme, serve to further enhance the ability for partners to profit.
The GuardianEdge Trusted Partner Network has been greatly enhanced by the newly designed Trusted Partner online portal. The new, secure partner portal provides up-to-the-minute product pricing information, demos, and lead and MDF tracking.
“e-Manage chose GuardianEdge as a business partner for its centralised approach to data protection and ease of use for our corporate customers,” commented Nitesh Thakrar, Managing Director at e-Manage Ltd. “Endpoint data protection is a key concern for our customers, and we needed to offer them the strongest solution to prevent costly data breaches.”
Three new partnership levels are now available to meet the evolving needs of the GuardianEdge Trusted Partners including: Premier, Select, and Volume Partner.
- Premier Partners are given the highest level of privilege; these partners are afforded the most aggressive margins and have access to deal registration, priority sales leads as well as co-marketing and market development funds that aid in expanding revenue and penetrating new markets.
- Select Partners are afforded all of the sales tools and technical resources available and are eligible for deal registration, sales leads and market development funds.
- Volume Partners have access to a broad range of online resources and are provided with the tools needed to meet customer requirements.
“GuardianEdge is dedicated to providing partners with the support they need to achieve their goals and increase their revenue. The updates made to our partner programme are a testament to this commitment,” said Joseph Hoban, Vice President, Global Channel Sales for GuardianEdge. “Data theft is a business problem; lost data means lost revenue and brand damage. We have all seen the data breach headlines, and enterprises are increasingly aware of the need to centrally manage and deploy endpoint data protection solutions to vulnerable laptops, removable media and other endpoint devices. We work with our partners to keep customers from getting burned, both from data loss and damaged reputation that can result from a potential data breach.”
