Cybersecurity distributor e92plus has announced a partnership with Blueliv, one of the leading cyber threat intelligence providers, in a move the firm says will help channel VARs and MSPs to successfully tackle the next generation of cyber threats.
The distribution partnership will help Blueliv grow its UK channel, e92plus said, while resellers and providers will be better equipped to respond to the growing demand for user-friendly insight, data and actionable intelligence into future cyber threats.
With Gartner predicting forecasting the threat intelligence market to hit almost $1.8 billion by 2021, combined with an annual growth rate of 25%, the firm added that threat intelligence represents a “huge” opportunity for the cybersecurity channel to access that new revenue.
“As the market changes and our VARs increasingly look to expand into margin rich services, Blueliv offers the perfect opportunity to combine that with one of the fastest growing areas in cyber security,” said Mukesh Gupta, CEO and founder of e92plus.
“The threat from bad actors, criminals and nation states has never been more complex, and Blueliv offers personalised insight that enables our partners to support their customers in taking cybersecurity from a reactive to a proactive posture, enabling them to better manage cyber risk and support the business-wide digital transformation agenda.”
With Blueliv, organisations gain highly accurate and verified global data feeds that can be used with their existing security information and event management (SIEM) software to detect and prioritise advanced threats. Delivered in STIX/TAXII standard using open integration standards, the data helps businesses gain improved ROI from SIEM systems – while CISOs can predict where threats will focus, respond with speed and improve future resilience.
Blueliv has already been recognised for industry leadership with the provider being named ‘Threat Intelligence Company of the Year’ by the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards 2018, as well as being listed a ‘Cool Vendor’ by Gartner.
“Threat Intelligence is a new but rapidly expanding marketplace, offering ample opportunity with huge growth potential in the UK,” said Zoe Clark, Channel Director at Blueliv. “Blueliv is at the pinnacle of this with our award-winning Threat Compass solution, delivering modular and targeted SaaS threat intelligence, and helping organisations accelerate business performance and improve security resilience.”
