CUPERTINO, CA--(Korea Newswire)--ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of automated security control solutions for Fortune 1000 enterprises and government organizations, today announced the rollout of its new ForeScout Access Partner Program for its authorized reseller channel partners in Korea. Building upon the success of ForeScout‘s prior partner program, the new program features additional sales incentives, consulting services and a new self-service, interactive portal for channel partners designed to facilitate sales enablement and demand generation. The ForeScout Access Partner Program empowers resellers, systems integrators and service providers with the means to successfully market and deliver services around ForeScout’s award-winning automated security control platform.

“The core to our success has been superior product and customer satisfaction combined with a commitment to invest in resources that nurture partner growth,” said Brant Kennedy, vice president of worldwide sales at ForeScout. “Enhancements to our partner program will streamline sales, marketing and support activities while providing greater means for our partners to identify business opportunities and drive revenue.”

The ForeScout Access Partner program enables partners to market an automated security control platform to help their customers address access control, mobile security, endpoint compliance and targeted attack risks. The program, which focuses on enablement, margins and extensible services, offers financial incentives, market development funds, sales and marketing tools, expert training and expedited support.

Authorized channel partners can take advantage of:

· Tiered partner levels with attractive margins
· Sales, sales engineer and service training
· New and co-branded sales and marketing program materials
· Evaluation product and demo guidance
· Pre-packaged and customizable professional services
· Online deal registration to protect qualified accounts
· Dedicated partner technical portal for access to updates, plugins, knowledgebase and case management
· A new 24 x 7 partner sales portal supporting interactive sales and marketing communications

Beyond sales acumen, regional coverage and industry specialization, ForeScout seeks top-tier channel partners that have strong networking and security expertise and service resources. Interested partners fitting this profile should contact partner@forescout.com.

Current channel partners value the quality of ForeScout's sales and technical support, as well as the effectiveness and ease of use of the CounterACT solution. In particular, they often cite the visibility, automated controls and new mobile security capabilities as something highly desired by customers.

“The new web portal is an especially valuable tool in the Asian/Pacific region because it provides our geographically dispersed partners with easy access to sales tools, demonstrations, and rapid answers to their technical questions,” said Marc Fernandez, ForeScout's regional vice president for APAC.

“The Korean government has required all network access points to be protected. ForeScout's CounterACT technology goes beyond all the minimum requirements presented by the government,” said Mr. YM Park, owner and president of Foresight, a ForeScout channel partner in Korea. “The multi-national clients in Korea, such as Samsung, Hyundai, and LG, love the fact that ForeScout has more NAC deployments worldwide than any other independent NAC provider. They feel confident that ForeScout will be there for them whenever they need them.”
