The winners of Vectra AI’s inaugural regional Partner Awards have been revealed.
Vectra AI awarded its channel champions during a ceremony held during Saudi Arabia’s LEAP conference to recognise the dedication of exceptional partners from the Middle East, Turkey, and North Africa (METNA).
Winners in disciplines from value-added distribution to systems integration were awarded for their commitment to Vectra’s regional vision, their contributions to the company’s growth, and the parts they have played in the stability and security of end customers’ digital estates.
“Vectra is recognized throughout the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa for our long-standing commitment to the region’s organizations, who face a multitude of threats, from increasingly sophisticated RansomOps to APTs; but we do not stand alone,” said Fuad Enaya, regional partner manager – METNA, Vectra AI. “Our partners are the frontline force through which we provide customers with our patented AI-driven threat detection platform.”
Vectra’s channel enablement initiatives, which are released on a regular basis via its dedicated partner site, will be expanded to include many additional incentive schemes throughout 2021.
“Our moves in strengthening our channel and the Vectra team that supports it are in direct response to the changes in the threat ecosystem,” Fuad explained. “Across METNA, organizations have taken to the cloud for all the business agility and remote-working options it provides. But newfound complexities have emerged around hybrid and multi-cloud environments and the uncertain status of the personal devices used by WFH employees. There has never been a more pressing need for skilled, dedicated SIs, resellers, and distributors to protect organizations’ environments, employees, and customers.”
“In 2022, we foresee RansomOps hitting more cloud customers; we foresee governments striking back; and we foresee greater demand for managed detection and response, and the automation of key security tasks to relieve the burden on beleaguered CISOs and their teams,” continued Fuad. “In a world where prevention is regularly defeated and attacks often succeed, we must conclude that motivated threat actors pose a challenge that we must come together to solve. That is what Vectra does through our channel network. We will continue to invest in simplifying our program structures and strengthening our value propositions to ensure our partners can add rich value for end customers and enjoy the revenue growth that goes along with that.”
Vectra achieved 40% year-on-year sales growth through its regional channel in 2021, while its METNA partners experienced 90% growth over the same time, with deal registration rates increasing by 300%. The awards highlighted the dedication, inventiveness, and accomplishments of 18 METNA partners.
