On-demand licensing, consumption billing, specialized resources, and robust training will optimize service delivery and expedite support for customers
Forescout Technologies, the leader in automated cybersecurity, announced the expansion of its Envision Channel Program, launching a new Managed Service Provider (MSP) Partner Program to support customers with enhanced technical and professional service capabilities.
Designed to offer Forescout’s most experienced and technically competent partners new flexible licensing options, consumption billing, and specialized resources, the MSP program expansion improves the partner-owned customer deployment and support experience. Forescout Partners, such as BT and Accenture, were instrumental in driving program enhancements to meet the increasing security challenges of their global customers.
Kevin Brown, Managing Director, Security for BT, said: “Cybersecurity is top of mind for our customers, who all want to ensure they’ve got the best protections for their most critical assets. BT has partnered with Forescout for several years, and we have more than 50 Forescout-accredited technical professionals supporting customer deployments around the world. This new program enhancement aligns with our customers’ demand for faster, more integrated solutions that tackle the changing threat landscape and enable their opportunities.”
