Securonix VP of Partnerships and Alliances Darren Gaeta Recognized as 2015 CRN Channel Chief

Big Data Security Analytics Provider Increases Reseller and Strategic Partner Foundation for Global Growth


LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 23, 2015) -  Securonix, provider of the industry-leading platform for security analytics and intelligence, announced today that Darren Gaeta has been named to the prestigious list of the 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs. 

The influential executives on this annual list represent the most powerful leaders in the IT channel who hold direct responsibility for driving growth and revenue for their organizations through their indirect channel partners. Individuals are selected for inclusion based on their track record of channel accomplishments, standing in the industry, dedication to the partner community, and plans for driving future business innovation and channel growth.

The company's partnership and alliance program has seen tremendous growth and uptake amongst some of the largest technology integrators in the world. Marking a two-year milestone since being launched, Securonix's system integrator and VAR network has expanded the company's security analytics offering across multiple vertical industries.

In December, CRN recognized Securonix as one of "The 10 Coolest Security Startups of 2014."

"This is an amazing time in our industry. Enterprise awareness of cyber threats, particularly insider threats and advanced persistent attacks, is at an all-time high and we are well-positioned to help organizations address this," said Gaeta.

"This continued recognition by CRN and the industry is underscored by the results that we have seen from our partner program that has not only met, but greatly exceeded our highest expectations. Our success truly illustrates how the combination of groundbreaking technology, the highest level of service and top tier partners form the strongest of partnerships," Gaeta said.

To increase technology awareness and vertical industry penetration, Securonix built a partner program focused on education, support and sales rewards. To ensure that the company and technology is 100 percent accurately represented, Securonix delivers extensive customer support and training for partners. Delivered in multiple phases, partners experience online training, in person certification boot camps and a shadowing program to become proficient on the Securonix platform.

"Each year, our editors carefully vet an extensive group of highly accomplished channel executives to highlight those exemplary individuals who earn the mantle of CRN Channel Chief. These executives strive to advance the success and standing of the channel community within their organizations. The 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs lead by example and serve as valuable advocates to help ensure the health and longevity of the IT channel. We applaud their accomplishments and look forward to their continued success," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. 

Building the company's partnerships and channel strategy was the focus when Securonix brought in Gaeta two years ago to head the program. With extensive experience, including the previous seven years building alliances at HP Enterprise Security, of which the first five were at ArcSight, Gaeta has utilized his vast knowledge and industry recognition to construct the Securonix alliance program rapidly.

Securonix will continue to expand its reseller and strategic partner foundation based on its successful formula, with an increased emphasis on global partners. The 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs have demonstrated their enduring support for the channel by consistently defending, promoting and executing effective channel partner programs and strategies.

The 2015 CRN Channel Chiefs list is featured in the February 2015 issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
