Hexis Cyber Solutions Awarded 5-Star Rating in CRN's 2015 Partner Program Guide

HANOVER, Md., 2015-03-23 18:25 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hexis Cyber Solutions (Hexis), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The KEYW Holding Corporation (Nasdaq:KEYW), and a provider of advanced cybersecurity solutions for commercial companies and government agencies, today announced it has been awarded a 5-Star rating in The Channel Company's CRN 2015 Partner Program Guide. This annual directory is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service solution providers or provide products through the IT channel. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.

The Hexis Cyber Solutions Partner Program is designed for value added resellers and integrators targeting two markets. The HawkEye Partner Program supports partners who target security-minded enterprise customers in need of advanced security intelligence services by offering a next-generation approach to threat investigation and continuous automated threat removal. Hexis' HawkEye family of products empowers security teams and incident responders with the advanced cybersecurity tools needed to combat against the growing threat of sophisticated attacks. The NetBeat Partner Program supports partners whose customers include IT professionals at small and midsized businesses in need of network access control, monitoring and analysis solutions that are affordable and which easily integrate into their existing infrastructure.

To determine the 2015 5-Star recipients, The Channel Company's research team assessed each vendor's application based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication.

"Solution providers have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor, with the right technologies, and the right approach can make all the difference," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star rating recognizes the best channel programs available in the market today to help solution providers determine which vendors deliver the best partner elements for their individual business goals."

"At Hexis Cyber Solutions, we understand the importance of providing our trusted partners and resellers with an integrated channel model, customizable to their needs," said Patrick Reilly, VP of Worldwide Sales, Hexis Cyber Solutions. "We are pleased to be recognized as a 5-Star Partner Program by CRN and look forward to continuing to offer best-in-class cybersecurity and network control solutions, strengthening our strategic partner relationships and increasing growth momentum across the globe." 

The 2015 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
