Comguard, HP Hold Security Training Workshop for Partners

Amid many hacking attempts targeting enterprises, the need for new security practices has never been greater. Comguard, a value added distributor of IT security products, has decided to get together with HP to organize a training workshop for their partners in Saudi Arabia. Within the workshop, they give partners the run-down on enterprise security and certify them, at no extra cost to them.

The workshop took place on May 15 at the Mariott Hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. More than 40 channel partners participated in the event.

“This workshop on HP Enterprise Security solutions will go a long way in enabling channel partners in Saudi to upgrade their knowledge base and skills sets,” said Jayadevan K., SVP of value business at Comguard. “The workshop helped partners discover how they can recognize opportunities to drive more revenue for their business. We also updated partners on how they can avail resources and trainings which are available to them as part of the HP PartnerOne Program.”

HP Enterprise Security Products was involved in the organization of this workshop. It's a business unit within HP intended to unify HP ArcSight (News - Alert), HP Fortify and HP TippingPoint into one solution, known as the Security Intelligence & Risk Management Platform.

Comguard and HP both participated in the workshop to keep their partners up to speed on latest developments and updates on enterprise security practices, while also offering to train them to use HP Enterprise Security products offered to the Saudi market. In the workshop, HP also showed channel partners its new version of HP Operational Analytics, a piece of Business Management Service (BSM) software that takes large chunks of data and provides the information needed to have the know-how on how to improve business IT performance.

Because of their workshop's success, Comguard and HP have plans to continue onwards to Doha, Qatar, for another one in June.
