Lacework has announced significant enhancements to its affiliate program that will result in better business outcomes for customers.

The program helps partners focus on customers’ specific security needs, making it easier for organizations to find the best security solution for their environment with the Lacework Polygraph data platform. Customers get faster time to protection as well as ongoing support for their cloud security solution.

The expanded Lacework program includes new features and capabilities such as:
– Capture the Flag: A hands-on game and enablement tool that exposes teams to how the Lacework cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is used to solve complex cloud security problems with mock incidents in a fun and competitive way. A Capture the Flag (CTF) session is designed for partners and/or prospective customers to experience a test-drive of Lacework and the breadth of use cases without having to deploy into their environment.

– Enhanced post-sale services: New certifications for partners to deliver post-sales services to customers, helping to support the Lacework platform, integrate existing tools together, and optimize cloud environments. These enhancements also make it possible for partners to provide managed services for ongoing support to customers.

“Cloud security is already an uphill battle, and today’s macroeconomic environment only poses further challenges as enterprises seek to protect their continuously changing environments with fewer resources,”

said Brian Lanigan, VP, Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Lacework.

“That’s why we strive to make securing the cloud as seamless as possible for organizations of all sizes. By working together with our global network of VARs, MSSPs, SIs, and CSPs, we can help customers achieve the best security outcome for their business while also benefiting the entire partner community”

he continued.

Lacework has also established a new Managed Service Provider (MSP) programme within the Lacework Partner Programme. Designed for MSPs, this new initiative is for partners who deliver security outcomes to their customers as part of a comprehensive service offering. The Lacework MSP program allows organizations that don’t have a full security team to implement Lacework in their environment without worrying about building their own team.
