Cybersecurity outfit Kenna Security has hired Trevor Crompton to build it a shiny new channel of UK sales partners.
Crompton has history with Symantec and RiskIQ. In RiskIQ he managed to keep 60 resellers, 20 consultants and 10 systems integrators across EMEA happy. Crompton used Obscure Technologies in Africa and Ignition Technologies in the UK.
Crompton has promised the Kenna channel will be 100 percent channel across EMEA. At RiskIQ Crompton he redirected all direct business through resellers.
Market analyst Gartner expects security spending to grow from $28.7 billion across EMEA now to $36.9 billion by 2021. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will drive 65 percent of those buying decisions as companies desperately try to plug data leaks.
Right now, most security bosses don’t know where to start to defend their businesses and Kenna’s partners can solve this problem by managing the risk. Its system reads vulnerability data, compares it to exploit data and calculates the risk score before create a fix priority list.
