Vectra AI unveils new clarity programme to boost MSSP services

Vectra AI has announced the inception of its Vectra AI Clarity Program, specifically tailored for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs).

This new programme aims to cater to the growing demand for advanced Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions and bespoke cybersecurity services in the face of the modern hybrid attack landscape. The initiative provides the flexibility to scale Network Detection and Response (NDR) and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solutions as per the specific requirements of individual businesses.

Randy Schirman, VP of Worldwide Channels and Alliances at Vectra AI, remarked, "The potential of our MSSP partnerships cannot be overstated as they become an essential part of our growth strategy here at Vectra AI. To expand our reach even further, the launch of the Vectra AI Clarity Program for MSSPs demonstrates the company-wide commitment made to delivering the next generation services that best support our channel partners. By enhancing our program offerings to the MSSP partner community, we recognise the need to keep pace with the rapid speed of change the cybersecurity industry is constantly under, supplying the flexible and customisable solutions end users require to combat today's hybrid cyberattacks."

The programme provides MSSPs the liberty to mould their technology stack, maintaining ownership and licensing, thereby enabling them to promote their own brand of services. This is expected to help MSSPs streamline resource allocation and planning. Additionally, the programme offers flexibility across various security solutions and aids in achieving predictable profit margins based on the unique needs of end environments.

Stephen Juteram, Vice President of Sales for the Caribbean region at Hitachi Systems Security, articulated the benefits from a partner's perspective, "The Vectra AI Clarity Program for MSSPs offers the support and flexibility we need to deliver exceptional value to our customers. By combining the best expertise and resources across the cybersecurity market, we can offer the innovative solutions needed to stay one step ahead of today's hybrid attacks. Together, we are committed to driving the success of our clients, which requires providing them with the best solutions available."

Vectra AI's platform, which boasts over 35 patents in AI and threat detection, aims to significantly enhance partners' ability to provide top-tier detection and response security solutions. By leveraging advanced machine learning and AI technologies, the platform is designed to identify attacker behaviour and evaluate threat severity promptly. A key component of the platform is the Attack Signal Intelligence, which delivers the swift and scalable XDR required to tackle sophisticated hybrid attacks.

The Vectra AI Clarity Program also offers extended Service Level Agreements (SLAs) providing multi-year, multi-platform advantages across various solutions. These extended touchpoints aim to enhance service delivery and bolster customer retention. Premium support services included in the programme span expedited warranties, swift escalation procedures, provision and deployment, as well as operational and analyst support. Essentially, Vectra AI commits to a comprehensive lifecycle approach to cybersecurity, from initial setup through continual monitoring and maintenance to addressing any arising service issues.

The program includes versatile pricing models, allowing MSSP providers to offer plans either per IP or on an account basis, with options for annual or multi-year subscriptions. This initiative is poised to help MSSPs manage their resources effectively while offering bespoke cybersecurity services tailored to the modern threat environment's demands.
