Leading value-added distributor establishes key partnerships to help solution providers meet clients' evolving security challenges
Ottawa, Ontario (PRWEB) October 2, 2009 -- Increasing demands to comply with industry regulations. A shift in traditional network architectures. Advanced security threats. Even in poor economic times, businesses need to keep pace with evolving security challenges. And for small and midsized businesses (SMBs), those challenges can be even harder to overcome, especially without a dedicated security team. Enter network security resellers, which can offer SMBs significant cost advantages and expertise to tackle any security challenge.
Interwork Technologies (Interwork), a leading, value added distributor (VAD) of security solutions, is excited to announce S-Sphere, an integrated suite of managed security services--delivered as Security as a Service (SaaS)--featuring products from five industry-leading vendors and designed specifically for SMB resellers and solution providers. S-Sphere is an ideal suite to help resellers capitalize on opportunities for higher margins, recurring revenue, and additional sales, while helping SMBs effectively handle security issues in all aspects of their businesses.
S-Sphere addresses a whole slew of security aspects for SMB resellers and their clients, including:

"What we've built with other leading security and managed services vendors is a platform that not only addresses these issues but helps position solution providers as effective security advisors to deal with future security threats," explains Tim Larocque, Director of Business Development and Marketing for Interwork. For SMB solution providers, S-Sphere is a way to expand their portfolio of security products and services and capitalize on new business opportunities--now and in the future. By 2013, Gartner predicts that "many cloud-based services will more than triple in many security segments." What's more, Gartner anticipates the worldwide security software market to "grow 13 percent in 2010 as revenue will total $16.3 billion."
S-Sphere comprises a powerful set of products and services from leading security and managed services vendors.

Once SMB resellers choose a service delivery platform for professional services automation and remote monitoring and management, they can offer the S-Sphere suite to their clients and start taking advantage of the abundant business opportunities the solution presents.
Through the S-Sphere suite, Interwork also offers SMB resellers the opportunity to earn business accreditation through CompTIA (www.comptia.org), a non-profit trade association advancing the global interests of IT professionals and companies. The CompTIA Security Trustmark identifies solution providers that consistently follow security best practices in personnel security, security training, and infrastructure. By earning this accreditation, SMB resellers can take advantage of increased marketability, efficiency, and productivity, while providing clients with the peace of mind that their critical information is secure.
