October 11, 2022/in Press Releases Krystal Rennie/by Shannon Flaherty

The company launched a new partner program built to reward and train partners on the Adlumin platform as they look to invest in their customers.

[WASHINGTON – Oct. 11, 2022]

Today, Adlumin, the command center for security operations, announced the expansion of its CRN 5-star Advantage Partner Program to feature a new tiered model, certified engineering program and more. The new model aims to reward partners as they make more significant investments and commitments to the company and sell Adlumin’s cybersecurity platform and services as a part of their business.

The Adlumin Advantage Partner Program alongside the MSP and channel program, aims to build powerful partnerships through simple, value-based, and profitable opportunities. The new tiered program will feature three tiers, Advantage, Silver and Gold, offering various benefits at each level; benefits will be based on each partner’s volume and certifications with Adlumin.

“Adlumin provides a channel partner program that rewards a true partnership, where high margin and loyalty helps our team feel confident to bring our customers to the table. The sales assistance and multiple-year protection are off the charts. Adlumin hit a home run,” says Craig Smith, President of BorderLAN Inc. “BorderLAN provides various cyber security solutions throughout the U.S. to thousands of customers and we pride ourselves on introducing innovative yet affordable solutions that help save our customers from cyber catastrophe. We are proud to hitch our wagon to Adlumin.”

The new model will include quarterly rebates and a Market Development Funds (MDF) accrual program to help increase the profitability of partners’ businesses. Rebate offerings will increase partner profitability as they continue investing in their cybersecurity practices with Adlumin products and services. The MDF program will allow partners to accrue marketing dollars in their Adlumin partner marketing wallet based on their quarterly net ARR sales of Adlumin products and services.

“Evolving the Adlumin Advantage Partner Program to include a tiered benefits program creates an opportunity for our partners to leverage their relationship with Adlumin to provide cybersecurity solutions and business outcomes for their customers” says Jim Adams, CRO at Adlumin. “Our partners remain our main priority and we are continuously working to strengthen our program benefits and build mutually beneficial relationships while delivering a superior product and services.”

The company will also introduce the Adlumin Certified Engineer (A.C.E) to their partner program offerings. A.C.E. is a new certification and learning track for partner sales engineers focused on providing technical expertise on the Adlumin platform and services. The certification consists of online training videos and short exams after each segment.

The Adlumin Advantage enables partners to develop strong expertise in various technology areas to serve their customers better and invest in their cybersecurity journey. The company has plans to continuously evolve the program to meet the needs of its partners, customers and the overall industry.

Adlumin Announces Commitment to Growing Global Cybersecurity Success by Becoming a Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022 Champion

October 3, 2022/in Press Releases Krystal Rennie/by Shannon Flaherty

October 04, 2022 — Adlumin, the command center for security operations, today announced that it has signed on as Champion for Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2022. Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world’s foremost initiative aimed at promoting cybersecurity awareness and best practices. The Cybersecurity Awareness Month Champions Program is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations and individuals committed to the Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme of ‘It’s easy to stay safe online.’

“Adlumin is committed to moving the mission of Cybersecurity Awareness Month forward and providing superior external and internal visibility to threats and helping companies eliminate risks and command authority of their organization’s environment,” says Stephanie Broyles, CMO at Adlumin. “We are excited to be a Champion this year and look forward to celebrating the power of cybersecurity and the roles we can play to protect online information and privacy.”

From mobile to connected home devices, technology is becoming more intertwined with our lives everyday. And while the evolution of technology is moving at the speed of sound, cybercriminals are working just as hard to find ways to compromise technology and disrupt personal and business life. Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to highlight some of the emerging challenges that exist in the world of cybersecurity today and provide straightforward actionable guidance that anyone can follow to create a safe and secure digital world for themselves and their loved ones.

This year, the Cybersecurity Awareness Month’s main focal areas revolve around four key fundamental cybersecurity best practices:

Recognizing and reporting phishing – still one of the primary threat actions used by cybercriminals today.
Understanding the benefits of using a password manager and dispelling existing myths around password manager security and ease of use.

Enabling multi-factor authentication on personal devices and business networks.
Installing updates on a regular basis and turning on automated updates.

Now in its 19th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact with the ultimate goal of providing everyone with the information they need to stay safer and more secure online. Adlumin is proud to support this far-reaching online safety awareness and education initiative which is co-led by the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
