Guidance
Software (NASDAQ: GUID), makers of EnCase®, the gold standard for
digital investigations and endpoint data security, announced today that CRN®,
a brand of The
Channel Company, has awarded Guidance Software a 5-Star rating in
the 2016 Partner Program Guide. Guidance Software was also named on
CRN’S inaugural 2016 Security 100 list in the endpoint security category.
The 5-Star Partner Program Guide rating recognizes an elite subset of
companies that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in
their channel programs. To determine the 2016 5-Star ratings, The
Channel Company’s research team assessed each vendor’s application based
on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner
training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales
support and communication.
The Security 100 list recognizes the coolest security vendors in each of
five categories: Endpoint Security; Identity and Access Management and
Data Protection; Network Security; SIEM and Threat Detection; and Web
and Application Security. The companies in CRN's Security 100 have
demonstrated creativity and innovation in product development, as well
as a strong commitment to delivering those offerings.
Guidance Software is honored by CRN with a 5-Star rating in the Partner
Program Guide and included as a top vendor in the Security 100 list for
the company’s innovative endpoint data products, which are trusted to
protect critical information of corporations and governments and have
been deployed on an estimated 25 million endpoints. Guidance Software is
devoted to distributing solutions through the channel and has current
initiatives to build out the company’s partner program in a way that
maximizes profitability and loyalty.
“Solution providers have more choices than ever before when it comes to
selecting vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor with the right
technologies and the right channel approach can mean the difference
between successful adoption of a new technology or business model and an
awkward, unnecessarily difficult integration,” said Robert Faletra, CEO,
The Channel Company. “Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star
ratings recognize the best channel programs available in the market
today and serve as a valuable resource for solution providers looking
for the right fit. Our Security 100 list honors those tech suppliers at
the forefront of this field for their contributions to the advancement
of the channel and to the IT market at large.”
“At Guidance, we believe our partners play a critical role as trusted
advisors in helping customers to define and implement their digital
investigations and security strategies,” said Scott Skidmore, vice
president, global channel sales at Guidance Software. “We continue to
build our forensic security technology to keep up with the dynamic cyber
threat landscape. These awards validate our strategy to deliver
world-class solutions through a channel-first sales approach, offering
our partners the important resources they need to maximize growth and
protect enterprise networks.”
The 2016 Partner Program Guide was featured in the February issue of CRN
and is online at www.CRN.com/ppg2016.
The Security 100 list will be featured in the April 2016 issue of CRN
and online at www.crn.com/security100.
