Critical Watch Launches Technology Partner Program

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Critical Watch has launched its groundbreaking ACI Technology Partner Ecosystem. A rich and powerful development environment, it enables partners to build security intelligence solutions tailored for their products that can then be licensed and offered to end customers. A flexible, language-agnostic software framework, the ACI Platform is purpose built for enabling rapid deployment of integrated solutions across a wide array of disparate risk inputs and countermeasure devices. It also is designed to be incorporated into leading third party management consoles such as SIEM or GRC platforms. The Critical Watch ACI SDK enables partners to utilize specific components and features based on their needs, so they can develop integrations that best augment their products.

ACI can be applied to work with a specific vendor's devices, with some or all risk inputs, or can be utilized as a total platform. In addition to deployment via SDK's, ACI can be deployed as a virtual image in a cloud model, as software or a dedicated appliance. "As technology providers we all face the same challenges in solving customer problems. We've got to enable smarter, unified, more automated risk management capability as we evolve our industry. Our ACI Ecosystem is a powerful market catalyst for delivering on this promise," said Mike Curtis, Vice President of Technology Strategy.

Target partners include countermeasure devices vendors, SIEM vendors, GRC vendors and Managed Security Service Providers. Each falls within one of two groups; Strategic Alliance Partners are those that have strong technical and business synergy with ACI and wish to license or OEM the technology to augment their solutions; Technology Alliance Partners are complementary solution providers that wish to collaborate on innovative solutions for end customers.  For more information on the ACI Technology Partner Ecosystem call 1-866-525-8680.
