Secomea Launches Synergy Partner Program to Enhance OT Cybersecurity

Secomea, a prominent name in secure remote access for Operational Technology (OT), has initiated the Secomea Synergy Program. This global venture is focused on creating a robust cybersecurity ecosystem for industrial settings. Designed specifically for distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), consultants, and tech partners, the program aims to promote and deliver effective industrial cybersecurity solutions tailored for various operational aspects from factories to fleets.

Kim Cramer Sonn, Vice President of Global Partners and Alliances at Secomea, emphasized the need for an ecosystem approach to address security challenges within OT environments. "Securing the OT environment requires ecosystem thinking. The Synergy Program embodies this by fostering a community with shared goals of trust, visibility, and compliance. No single company can solve these challenges in isolation," Sonn stated.

With a proven track record that includes over 100,000 users and 8,000 customers in more than 100 countries, Secomea has become a reliable remote access solution for numerous manufacturers and machine builders. The Synergy Program introduces a well-structured framework for partners, which includes opportunities for joint marketing efforts, training opportunities, technical support, and protected profit margins.

Addressing Complex Cyber Threats

Today's industrial organizations face a rising tide of cyber threats and an increasingly complex compliance landscape spurred by regulations such as NIS2 and NIST as well as the Cyber Resilience Act. The need for collaboration has never been more pressing. The Synergy Program’s structure formalizes this need by establishing four primary entry points:

1. Distribution Partners: These partners provide secure remote access solutions that come pre-configured for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and machine builders.
2. Value-Added Resellers (VARs): This segment focuses on the task of standardizing and scaling security across varied operational environments, including factories and critical infrastructure.
3. Consulting Partners: These professionals lead efforts toward compliance programs and oversee extensive OT security projects.
4. Technology Alliance Partners: They work on integrating complementary capabilities to address role-specific challenges within various industrial verticals.

Benefits for Partners

Engaging in the Synergy Program offers multiple advantages to its participants, including:

• - Exclusive Commercial Benefits: Opportunities for deal registration, lead sharing, and margin protection are key features.
• - Co-marketing Initiatives: Partners will engage in joint campaigns and receive enablement training, certifications, and content kits,
• - Product Leadership Integrations: Designed particularly for OT, the program emphasizes solutions that are not merely adapted IT tools, but are effectively built for OT use, including support for legacy systems, Zero Trust architecture, and alignment with compliance.
• - Customer Expansion: Partners can tap into a growing clientele of over 8,000 companies across sectors like manufacturing, energy, logistics, and pharmaceuticals.
• - Industry-Leading Community: Participants will collaborate with top talents within the industry to share best practices, troubleshoot issues, and promote innovation in OT security.

Michael Ferdinandsen, the CEO of Secomea, noted, "Cybersecurity in industrial environments isn't just about products; it’s fundamentally about establishing trust. The Secomea Synergy Program exemplifies our conviction that security should be integrated into partnerships, not just software solutions. We take pride in launching this initiative as a European-born effort that unites global partners to navigate the OT landscape together."
