SafeNet, global leader in data protection solutions, today announced an enhanced global channel partner program, the SafeNet Cipher Partner program, designed to allow partners to grow their businesses and help their customers tackle the new challenges of data security in the age of cloud, virtualization and mobility. Improvements include tiered partner benefits, an enhanced partner portal, simplified global pricing, and deal registration to make it easier for partners to grow their data security business with SafeNet.

With SafeNet’s industry-leading encryption, crypto management and authentication solutions, partners can help customers address key security pain points and priorities of data security and user authentication and access controls, according to recent data from 451 Research. SafeNet’s investment in developing training, accreditation and sales and marketing programs to support partners will help them architect, sell and deliver advanced data protection solutions to help customers secure the “new perimeter” of IT security – the data and the users.
