The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, is making significant updates to its certification offerings.
Kindo formally launched its channel partner program.
This strategic initiative empowers value added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs) and other technology partners to deliver Kindo’s AI-augmented security operations to DevSecOps teams worldwide.
Kindo allows users to leverage WhiteRabbitNeo, an uncensored, open source, security-trained model that serves the entire information security team. With it, DevSecOps teams can automate traditionally tedious, manual tasks using runbooks and workflows for incidence response, vulnerability assessment and remediation and change management. They can also evaluate IAM roles and credentials of overprovisioning and conflicts saving developer hours for other critical activities.
Popular use cases include:
- DevOps professionals are able to write and instrument secure and reliable infrastructure as code
- Security red teams, known as offensive teams, are able to rapidly improve their efficiency in how they construct code proofs of concept, create sample attacks, remediate vulnerabilities and more
- Security blue teams, known as defensive teams, are able to automate previously manual aspects of runbooks for intrusion detection and response, remediate security events and more
“Partners are essential to our go-to-market strategy, and we are dedicated to providing them with the resources and support they need to thrive in the rapidly evolving DevSecOps landscape,” said Ron Williams, co-founder and CEO at Kindo. “Our channel partner program has been developed in close collaboration with our partners to deliver exceptional value to customers.”
Kindo’s Channel Partner Program is built on a foundation of mutual success, offering a comprehensive framework for partners to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-powered DevSecOps solutions. Key benefits include:
- Bleeding-Edge Tools for DevSecOps: Leveraging Gen AI, Kindo’s tools are the first to allow companies to automatically run their internal runbooks within their current systems of record and will position their partners for strong competitive positioning.
- Lucrative Margins and Performance Incentives: Partners can drive substantial revenue growth through generous margins and performance-based bonuses, maximizing profitability.
- Sales and Marketing Enablement: Kindo provides partners with a full suite of resources to effectively market and sell Kindo solutions, including co-branded collateral, lead generation programs and dedicated channel account management support.
- Technical Training and Certification: An easy deal registration system ensures full transparency and Kindo’s learning lab simplifies training and onboarding of their partners’ sales teams.
