RESTON, Va., Aug. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ThreatTrack Security – a leader in malware protection solutions that identify, stop and remediate advanced threats, targeted attacks and other sophisticated malware designed to evade traditional cyber defenses – today announced the appointment of Michael Conlon as vice president of Global Channels.

Conlon has nearly 20 years of experience leading channel and sales operations for tech industry leaders like Polycom, Cisco and Tandberg. He will lead all aspects of ThreatTrack Security's channel strategy and operations in support of the company's enterprise cybersecurity technologies, including the recently launched ThreatSecure, a new standard in threat prevention that combines best-in-class advanced threat detection with powerful automated remediation.

Conlon has held numerous senior sales leadership and channel positions. Most recently, he was vice president of Worldwide Channels at Polycom. He also held numerous channel sales roles at both Tandberg and Cisco, where he oversaw the development and management of major partners in both the private and public sector.

"Michael has a proven track record of building successful channel strategies. The profitable growth of ThreatTrack Security and our new solution, ThreatSecure, will rely on the strong partner ecosystem that Michael is building," said ThreatTrack Security President and CEO Julian Waits, Sr. "When ThreatTrack Security was established in March 2013, only 30% of the company's business was through partners. Now, nearly 80% of our revenue is generated through the channel. Today, we are further strengthening our commitment to the channel. Just weeks after we introduced ThreatSecure to the market, we are ensuring this solution – unlike anything else in the channel – is immediately available to our partners."

"ThreatTrack Security is quickly becoming a leading security name in the channel because of the innovative approach it is taking to automated threat remediation," said Conlon. "More importantly, it understands the channel, and has developed a solution with partners' customers in mind. ThreatSecure works within end users' current security infrastructure, easily filling a major cybersecurity gap – the inability to automate the remediation of advanced threats – that is plaguing every organization's cyber defense."

Accelerating Partner Success
A CRN 2014 Emerging Vendor, ThreatTrack Security is recruiting partners with established security practices capitalizing on the increasing awareness of data-breaching malware and the rising demand for a new breed of cybersecurity solutions to combat them. The company offers:

Aggressive front-end discounts and performance-based back-end rebates
Promotions designed to accelerate sales cycles, win deals and help partners grow their businesses
Rewarding lead referral and deal registration programs to drive and protect new sales opportunities
Enablement initiatives to familiarize partners' sales and technical teams on selling, deploying, and supporting ThreatSecure to combat today's advanced malware threats
A broad array of sales, marketing and technical support

"We are hitting the ground running with our ThreatSecure partner program," added Conlon. "Our goal is to become a strategic partner to the channel community, and we have put in place the infrastructure, support, and incentives that will enable partners to quickly and profitably grow their businesses, while demonstrating added value to their clients."

ThreatTrack Security will announce additional ThreatSecure channel initiatives in the coming weeks.
