“We are delighted to once again be awarded this 5 Star rating from CRN. Our partners recognize that the Guardicore channel program is designed to drive success by aligning the award-winning capabilities of our Guardicore Centra Security Platform to partners’ unique business models, helping to establish breakthrough go-to-market service offerings and driving new revenue streams,” said Todd Bice, Senior Director of Channels, and a 2019 CRN Channel Chief.

Continued Bice, “Guardicore partners value the best-in-class visibility, software-defined segmentation, and real-time breach detection and response capabilities of our platform, which help to ensure protection of their clients’ most critical assets as they face a growing attack surface and increasing complexities involved in defending hybrid environments. Today’s honor, combined with continued traction in the Managed Security Services market and a 100 percent increase in new partner engagements since last year, demonstrates how much we value our partners and how our commitment to the channel has translated to success for their clients and businesses.”

As a CRN Channel Chief Bice demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision and commitment to Guardicore’s channel partner programs. Channel Chief honorees are selected by CRN’s editorial staff as a result of their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community, and strategies for driving future growth and innovation.
