Triumfant Elevated to McAfee’s Sales Teaming Program
July 22, 2009 Leave a Comment
Last week, McAfee announced that Triumfant had been elevated to McAfee’s invitation-only Sales Teaming Program tier in the Security Innovation Alliance (SIA). In the words of McAfee, partners participating in the Sales Teaming Program “complement the McAfee product portfolio, and enable the McAfee sales force and channel to drive more complete security solution relationships with enterprise customers.” You can view the entire McAfee press release here.
We at Triumfant are excited about our growing relationship with McAfee and are very pleased how their partner team has been open minded about learning what our offering can do and how it can be of benefit to McAfee’s customers. We have spoken to all of the major AV vendors in the past six months and we have found McAfee to be the most progressive in this regard, which I believe speaks volumes about their commitment to their customers and their broader security requirements.
When we present Triumfant Resolution Manager to prospective customers, writers and analysts, we are often asked if we see our product as a replacement to traditional signature based protection. Our answer has always been an emphatic “no” as we believe that such technology has a vital and necessary place in endpoint protection, and that Triumfant is a logical and synergistic complement to antivirus software. To their credit, McAfee took the time to understand our position and had the vision to view Triumfant as accretive to their portfolio rather than as competitive.
We look forward to working with McAfee more closely over the next several months as we continue to deepen our integration with both the McAfee sales team and at the product level with ePolicy Orchestrator. McAfee’s renewed vision for endpoint security is helping them gain tremendous momentum in the market, and it is our privilege to experience some of their enthusiasm and energy as a partner.
