VERNON HILLS, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
CDW announced today that it has achieved Symantec Master Specialist
status in the area of data
loss prevention. Symantec Master Specialization recognizes and
promotes qualified partners’ deep expertise in delivering advanced
consulting services in a specialized solution area.
“The Master Specialist designation recognizes CDW’s proven expertise in
data loss prevention and the ability to provide our customers with
effective solutions that not only help to prevent data loss, but also
flag any data being handled in a way that deviates from our customers’
established security policies,” notes Christine Holloway, vice president
of converged infrastructure solutions, CDW. “CDW’s successful
partnership with Symantec is critical to our ability to consistently
support our customers’ ever-changing security needs. Together, we are
able to protect important customer data more completely and efficiently.”
By achieving this Master Specialization, CDW has demonstrated an
investment and deep expertise in delivering advanced consulting and
technical services in Symantec
data loss prevention. Data loss prevention solutions help keep customer
information, personal employee information and research and development
(RD) data safe and secure.
According to CDW’s upcoming Data Loss Straw Poll, an examination of data
security concerns across industries, data loss – from internal threats,
negligence or accidental loss, or bot data harvesting – presents the
greatest business risk to organizations this year. And no wonder: One in
four organizations has lost data in the last two years, and of those,
most have lost sensitive information.
“CDW’s national research shows that the number of people accessing
business networks has increased by an average of 41 percent during the
last two years,” Holloway said. “Employees need access to information
24/7, from multiple devices and locations. At the same time, employers
need to make sure that information is secure. It’s a fine balance that
we can help our customers achieve with thoughtful planning and
execution.”
“The Data Loss Prevention Master Specialization recognizes CDW’s ability
to deliver advanced consulting and technical services to its customers,”
said Randy Cochran, vice president, North America Channel Sales
Americas, Symantec Corp. “Master Specialist partners have demonstrated
deep investment in Symantec and an enterprise in delivering advanced
services and solutions to protect customers’ most critical information.”
Symantec Master Specializations, which recognize partners with a proven
expertise in a particular area of business, provide partners with the
skills and experience required to deliver differentiated service to
their customers. Symantec partners achieve Master Specialization by
meeting certain requirements that deepen their knowledge and proficiency
in a solution family, and Master Specialized Symantec partners receive
exclusive benefits as a result of their investment.
