Skybox Security announced that two Australia-based firms, NEXTGEN and Insentra have joined its Australia channel partner program.

The Skybox APAC channel program enables managed security service providers (MSSPs), value-added resellers (VARs), distributors and system integrators to meet the needs of the market by deploying and offering services that leverage the Skybox Security Suite. By adding the Suite to their offerings, local partners can continue to serve as trusted cybersecurity advisors to Australian businesses.

According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) 2017 Threat Report, “Cyber espionage and cybercrime remain the primary threats to the Australian private sector, affecting Australia’s competitive advantage, particularly in the specialist and profitable area of research and development.”

 Through local partners, Skybox can offer Australian enterprises a security management platform that delivers comprehensive attack surface visibility and enables unified vulnerability management and firewall and security policy management across their entire network, including in physical, multi-cloud and OT environments.

“Insentra is thrilled to be joining the Skybox Security channel program as APAC’s first Services Delivery Partner working with the Australia / New Zealand team under Tom Castell’s leadership,” said Ronnie Altit, CEO for Insentra. “This partnership will see Insentra provide professional services capabilities in Australia and New Zealand to Skybox partners, shortening the time-to-value for their customers.”

In addition to new partnerships, Skybox has recently appointed a new regional sales director for Australia and South Pacific, Tom Castell. Castell has more than 12 years of experience in the IT security market with the last eight years focused on the Australia market. Prior to joining Skybox, he worked for Mimecast leading their go-to-market strategy, working with large enterprise accounts across Australia, New Zealand and most recently all of APAC.
