First look into Trellix’s inaugural Xpand Partner Summit

By Britt Norwood · September 20, 2022

As complexities across the cybersecurity landscape continue to grow in size and scope, Trellix, along with our partner ecosystem, is primed to answer the change and capitalize on opportunities our unique proposition brings to the market. Our open, native philosophy of meeting our customers wherever they are, regardless of environment is an outstanding service opportunity for our partners. That said, we never want to stop improving. To hold up our end of maintaining mutual and valuable partnerships, we always look to improve, evolve and learn.

Since Trellix’s inception, the growth of our channel partner ecosystem has been a top priority. Our ecosystem and our validity in the industry has grown through achieving Amazon Web Services (AWS) Data Protection status and our vendor integrations with Zscaler, VMware, Fortinet, and more. Our partners are vital to our success, bringing unique perspectives and approaches to the incredible experiences our customers rely on.

To share how far the entire Trellix business has come in nine quick months, we are hosting a sold out Partner Summit on September 27, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This time will be used to further build on partner relationships and new collaborations within our partner community, while giving insight into the transformative work of Trellix and partners. Featuring a keynote session by Jay McBain, chief analyst – channels, partnerships and ecosystems at Canalys on the Dawn of the Channel Ecosystem, the Summit’s sessions will focus on our XDR platform, the future of cybersecurity, the channel ecosystem, and enhancing growth and engagement. We’ll also award and recognize partners at the Summit for those who identified and registered new opportunities and closed deals.

We’ll also use this time to share the strategic focus areas behind our new partner program set to launch in early 2023. It is intended to be a space where our channel acts as a true engine of scale and focus for partner experience, partner demand creation and readiness. Over the next six months, partners will hear more about our updated partner classifications, the new deal registration program, a focused channel enablement team, a top tier partner portal, and new MSSP and marketplace playbooks, to name a few.

Following this event, we want to extend an open invitation for folks to join our Xpand Live event where customers, partners and those passionate about the future of cybersecurity can connect on the latest in cyber intelligence and XDR architecture. For those who attend, we will have additional opportunities to gain new insights and get hands-on with our products.

Our partners, including AWS, Tenable, Zimperium will be presenting updated partner classifications, the new deal registration program, a focused channel enablement team, a top tier partner portal, and new MSSP and marketplace playbooks, to name a few. While the partner summit is sold out, the broader Xpand conference still has some availability – but spots are going quickly so sign up soon! Xpand has some great sessions including:

• Achieve a True Zero Trust Architecture with Trellix and Okta – how to take advantage of the ability to analyze identity audit events to find anomalies and correlate those anomalies with a wide range of information, such as application behavior and user roles.
• XDR panels to learn more about Trellix’s XDR architecture and future roadmap
• Keynote sessions from Bonnie St John, Guy Raz, CEO Bryan Palma, CPO Aparna Rayasam, SVP product management Amol Mathur, head of adversarial & vulnerability research and head of cyber investigations for Threat Labs John Fokker, and CRO Adam Philpott

We are looking forward to meeting with our partners and sharing in the success of our Trellix milestones!
