Secunia CEO Launches New Channel Strategy


Secunia has already signed agreements with distribution partners in nine different countries



Copenhagen, Denmark – November 13, 2013 - Secunia, a leading provider of IT security solutions that enable businesses and private individuals to manage and control vulnerability threats, today launched the Secunia Partner Program to further enhance the companys presence across EMEA. Thorough training and certifications will enable the distribution channel to position Secunias unique patch management solution with resellers in a number of countries.
Secunia is a market leader in the vulnerability management and patch management space worldwide and a highly respected provider of IT security for enterprises and government agencies worldwide.
Since it was founded in 2002, Secunias go-to-market strategy has been direct sales by dedicated teams working out of the company headquarters in Copenhagen, supplemented by a few partners in key areas such as the UK and Middle East. In January 2013, a US subsidiary was opened in Minneapolis staffed by sales and support teams, to cater to the North American market. Riding on the success of the US expansion, Secunia is now ready to push more aggressively into Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
I am confident that the channel approach is right for Secunia, in our efforts to better reach customers in EMEA and APAC. We have reached the point where we must establish a local presence if we wish to increase our market shares in those markets, said Secunia CEO Peter Colsted, about the shift to a channel approach. Mr. Colsted was appointed CEO of Secunia in July 2013, and has since then been preparing the new go-to-market strategy.
Introducing the Secunia Partners
Secunia has already signed agreements with distribution partners in 9 different countries. The distribution partners are responsible for the regional fulfillment of the Partner Program, which features three levels of membership: Bronze Registered, Silver Certified and Gold Certified.
Through careful selection and thorough training and certifications, we are building a network of dedicated distribution partners and resellers, who will be able to position Secunias security products locally. The vulnerability intelligence and third-party patch management space is complex. Therefore, partners representing Secunia to organizations who are looking to invest in vulnerability solutions, receive intensive training, in order to provide the end-users – IT security and operations teams – with the right level of information and support, explained Peter Colsted.
Distribution Partners signed are:
UK: Alpha Gen; Germany: ADN; Austria: AOS; APAC: EMT APAC; Middle East: EMT ME; Poland: ED&R; Hungary: Biztributor; Romania: Romsym; Italy: Computerlinks. Nordics: Infinigate.
