McAfee channel chief says data-sharing and automation partnership with Cisco will lead to Cisco partners coming to it for non-network security components.
No channel announcements were made at the Intel Security Focus event, although a new Platinum rebate for net new sales that had not been announced publicly goes live this quarter. Big changes that the channel should already be aware of are coming in 2017, however.
Intel Security’s channel chief tells partners the company will focus incentives around its new platform approach, winning new customers and expanding business with existing customers.
Intel Security is going to expect more of its Platinum and Gold partners come 2016, but it’s also going to give them more in exchange for their partnership.
Avaya will double rebate opportunities around strategic technologies for Gold partners, but will halve those same opportunities for base-level partners.
