Industry-Leading Security Awareness Training Provider Enables Resellers, Distributors and Integrators to Address Customer’s Critical Security Issues

Security Mentor, a pioneer of innovative, effective security awareness training, recently announced the launch of its new Security Mentor Global Partner Program designed to accelerate its growth globally. The new program empowers resellers, distributors, and integrators to offer Security Mentor’s security awareness training to customers worldwide, addressing the ever-increasing cyber-attacks their employees face on a daily basis.

“High visibility data breaches and surging cyber-attacks have demonstrated the importance of securing employees,” said Marie White, CEO and President, Security Mentor.  “This is a very exciting time for Security Mentor as we are seeing incredible demand globally for our award-winning security awareness training program. There is a clear need for training that is more than just check the box, it must drives real behavior change. Our new Global Partner Program creates a partner network that will make our cutting-edge training available to customers worldwide who previously we would not be able to reach.”

The Global State of Information Security Survey 2015 by PwC reported that an employee security awareness training program was the top spending priority for organizations over the next 12 months. Resellers, distributors and integrators are uniquely suited to help their customers meet this need by offering an effective security awareness training solution. The inaugural members of the Security Mentor Global Partner Program are in markets throughout the Americas, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

“In a breach-ridden and compliance-driven world, end user training has become an essential line of defense,” said Norm Hartshorne, President of Secure Links. “Adding Security Mentor filled a critical gap in our product portfolio.”
