Alert Logic Enlists New Reseller and Service Provider Recruits in Battle Against IT Security Overspending; Vanguard Partner Program Aimed at VARs, Service and Network Providers Selling into the SMB IT Security Space.

HOUSTON -- Alert Logic, the only on-demand IT network security company dedicated to small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), is continuing its attack on SMB IT security overspending with the launch of its new Vanguard Partner channel program. Through this new program, Alert Logic enables VARs, managed service and network providers to offer SMBs a solution that deploys twice as fast at half the cost of traditional software and appliance solutions. The Alert Logic solution leverages a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that delivers "on-demand" network security to SMBs - thereby avoiding the pitfalls of complex software and appliance "do-it-yourself" solutions.

Alert Logic's Network Protection On Demand solution is a hosted (SaaS) network security solution that provides the key elements of intrusion prevention, vulnerability assessment and a 24X7 threat monitoring service. Network Protection On Demand offers partners the following:

--High customer satisfaction and customer retention rates

--Consolidation of network views for all clients, greatly improving management and client quality of service

--A customizable, dynamic portal with sophisticated reporting for each client

--The ability to easily private label the service and add IT security at a fraction of the cost of other vendors

--Rapid deployment and zero maintenance

--Recurring revenues from a monthly subscription service

--Easy-integration with perimeter security solutions

Through the Alert Logic Vanguard program, partners can take advantage of Alert Logic's position as a nationally recognized IT network security vendor, with more than 100 customers across the US. As part of Vanguard, partners receive sales and technical training, full sales cycle support, business development, co-marketing, channel management, deal registration, technical support and partner discount rates established by revenue generation.

"Our SMB clients need sophisticated IT security, but do not have the budget or staff to purchase, integrate or maintain traditional do-it-yourself products," said Larry Dannemiller, President, Business Security Solutions Inc, a founding Vanguard partner. "Alert Logic's unique technology answers that problem and serves to set them apart in a crowded industry. For partners like Security Solutions, Alert Logic's Vanguard program delivers substantial resources and brings a practical approach to shorten our sales cycles, improve selling effectiveness and helps us retain clients."

"The combination of a superior delivery model and deep support resources leapfrogs the typical 'plain Jane' programs offered by larger vendors that force partners to pay for the privilege of working with them," said Michael Stoeger, director of channel sales for Alert Logic. "Alert Logic takes a new approach -- our partners are at the forefront of providing new classes of solutions to their SMB clients, and deserve a program that addresses their business development needs without overburdening them with bureaucratic requirements."
