NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Logicalis US,
an international IT solutions and managed services provider
(www.us.logicalis.com), announced today that it has achieved the
Cisco Master Security Specialization. This specialization
recognizes Logicalis as having fulfilled the training requirements
and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support highly
sophisticated Cisco network security solutions.
"Earning Cisco's Master Security designation underscores the
value we deliver to our customers and the intense focus and
importance Logicalis places on our robust portfolio of strategic
consulting, security architecture solutions, professional services
and managed security services," says Ron
Temske, Vice President, Security Solutions, Logicalis US.
"The Cisco designation serves as an important benchmark clients
rely on when making decisions about which partner can best serve
their enterprise security needs across the entire attack spectrum –
before, during and after an attack."
The Cisco Master Security Specialization is designed to
recognize an elite group of channel partners who have invested in
the most in-depth technology skills and have demonstrated success
in providing services for Cisco's value-added security
solutions.
To achieve the Master Security Specialization, partners must
first attain the Cisco Advanced Security Architecture
Specialization. Partners must then meet a series of stringent
requirements in three categories: technology capabilities,
sales expertise and Cisco Lifecycle Services. Channel partners must
meet a number of prerequisites, including: one FireJumper and one
individual Cisco CCNP Security certification. Partners are also
required to provide references called Partner Executed Proof of
Values (PoVs) that determine whether their product or technology
directly addresses a defined set of business outcomes. Finally,
partners must supply evidence of expertise in three of six defined
security practice areas: (1) threat visibility, (2) network
vulnerability assessment, (3) remediation and response, (4) secure
cloud, (5) secure data center, and (6) secure IoT.
The Cisco Channel Partner Program helps our partners build the
sales, technical and services skills required to deliver Cisco
solutions and customer business outcomes. Through the program's
specializations and certifications, Cisco recognizes a partner's
expertise in deploying solutions based on Cisco advanced
technologies and services. Using a third-party audit process, the
program validates a partner's technology skills, business
practices, customer satisfaction, presales and post-sales support
capabilities, and other critical factors that customers consider
when choosing a trusted partner.
