FireEye, Inc., the leader in stopping today's advanced cyber attacks, today announced an agreement with Ingram Micro
to market, sell and support FireEye security products throughout the
United States and Canada. The new alliance makes FireEye comprehensive
advanced threat protection across the network, email and endpoint
available to Ingram Micro channel partners in the U.S. and Canada to
update customers' legacy security infrastructure and protect against
modern threats.
"Customers are turning to channel partners to update security
solutions and provide guidance on how to protect against threats on the
endpoint and coming through email," said Steve Pataky, vice president
of worldwide channels and alliances at FireEye. "Together with Ingram
Micro, we can provide channel partners the ability to deliver advanced
endpoint and email protection that goes beyond traditional solutions --
and, with the FireEye security platform, gain visibility across the
organization to identify and remediate threats. For channel partners,
this visibility is key in providing solutions that keep their customer
networks secure."
The alliance brings the new FireEye HX Endpoint 3.0
product to more channel partners and businesses throughout the U.S. and
Canada. The latest version of FireEye HX extends FireEye Threat
Intelligence to the endpoint and adds enterprise search capabilities
that enable quick and precise security searches across endpoints. For
organizations, this enables unparalleled visibility to rapidly find and
mitigate threats by utilizing superior visibility into their endpoints
along with insight gathered from cloud and real-time feeds.
"FireEye enables channel partners to better protect their
customers by offering the right blend of technology, intelligence and
expertise," said Eric Kohl, executive director, Ingram Micro Advanced
Solutions. "Our channel partners trust us to offer the best technology
products, solutions and services. FireEye's advanced security offerings
expand our best in class portfolio and help channel partners protect
their customers from today's cyber threats."
As part of the new Ingram Micro relationship, FireEye will
become a 2016 sponsor of the Trust X Alliance -- the IT channel's
premier community for top-performing vendors, service providers and
VARs. The IT security innovator will work closely with the Trust X
Alliance to educate and train its members on the importance of endpoint
security and how to proactively protect customers from cyber threats.
"IT security is top of mind for businesses and their trusted
IT advisors," said Tim Ament, senior vice president, Ingram Micro.
"We've made it a priority to bring best in class security technologies
to our channel partners from emerging and established vendor partners.
FireEye is a channel-friendly vendor, IT security innovator and a great
addition to our growing portfolio."
