Nord Security announces a new strategic direction engaging channel partners in the US

Nord Security, a provider of world-class cybersecurity solutions, is proud to announce a new strategic direction to engage and sell-with channel partners in the US. This move offers an opportunity for Nord Security to hit the ground running in the US market by relying on the connections and customers that our partners are continuously fostering in their networks. Additionally, this decision will help the company to accelerate its expansion geographically, reach business customers in a quicker manner, and provide them with much-needed cybersecurity products.

Nord Security has been growing quickly and reached the point where we are looking into more region-specific solutions. We decided to work through the channel partner community because we see a growing US businesses interest in digital solutions, cybersecurity, and network access security. Partners that we work with are exceptional brand advocates and understand the value that a good solution provides to their customers. Their community is driven, knowledgeable, and are experts in their various technology fields."

Tom Okman, co-founder at Nord Security

Nord Security is known for its leading cybersecurity solutions. NordVPN — the first brand in the Nord Security family of products — was established in 2012. Over the years, it has become the VPN solution of choice for individuals worldwide. That success and market expertise has translated to a focus around delivering business-focused security solutions. Those include the encrypted cloud storage service NordLocker, the next-generation password manager for business NordPass, and the advanced network access security solution NordLayer.

Recently, the company announced strategic partnerships with Telarus, the largest privately held technology services distributor in the United States, and AVANT, the leading IT decision-making platform. Nord Security chose these organizations as initial go-to-market partners for representing an extraordinary group of allies in the industry.

"We're excited about our recent partnership with two industry leaders – Telarus and AVANT – to offer the Nord Security suite of services to its partner communities. Nord Security has demonstrated that its cybersecurity offerings are top of the line and that partners' communities and customers will see tremendous benefits. Such partners as Telarus and AVANT provide a critical offering to enterprises by acting as their trusted advisor to deliver the best solution available on the market," says David Nuti, SVP of sales, North America channel.

Nord Security will also participate at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo – the largest gathering of channel partners in the country this spring. Over four days, the gathering, co-located with the MSP Summit, will be THE event of 2022, where partners can connect with technology suppliers to advance their businesses and harness knowledge that accelerates new revenue and growth. The event will take place from April 11 to 14 at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, NV.

The US program comes on the heels of the success seen from our Europe-focused NordLayer partner community of managed network services providers.

Leostream Enhances Security and Management of vSphere Hybrid Cloud Deployments

Business Wire | January 29, 2024

Leostream Corporation, the world's leading Remote Desktop Access Platform provider, today announced features to enhance security, management, and end-user productivity in vSphere-based hybrid cloud environments. The Leostream platform strengthens end-user computing (EUC) capabilities for vSphere users, including secure access to both on-premises and cloud environments, heterogeneous support, and reduced cloud costs. With the Leostream platform as the single pane of glass managing EUC environments, any hosted desktop environment, including individual virtual desktops, multi-user sessions, hosted physical workstations or desktops, and hosted applications, becomes simpler to manage, more secure, more flexible, and more cost-effective. Significant ways the Leostream platform expands vSphere’s capabilities include: Security The Leostream platform ensures data remains locked in the corporate network, and works across on-premises and cloud environments, providing even disparate infrastructures with the same levels of security and command over authorization, control, and access tracking. The Leostream platform supports multi-factor authentication and allows organizations to enforce strict access control rules, creating an EUC environment modeled on a zero-trust architecture. Multivendor/protocol support The Leostream platform was developed from the ground up for heterogeneous infrastructures and as the connection management layer of the EUC environment, the Leostream platform allows organizations to leverage vSphere today and other hypervisors or hyperconvergence platforms in the future as their needs evolve. The Leostream platform supports the industry’s broadest array of remote display protocols, including specialized protocols for mission-critical tasks. Consistent EUC experience The Leostream platform enables IT to make changes to the underlying environment while ensuring the end user experience is constant, and to incorporate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OpenStack private clouds into their environment without disruptions in end-user productivity. By integrating with corporate Identity Providers (IdPs) that employees are already familiar with, and providing employees with a single portal they use to sign in, the Leostream platform offers simplicity to users too. Connectivity The Leostream Gateway securely connects to on-prem and cloud resources without virtual private networks (VPNs), and eliminates the need to manage and maintain security groups. End users get the same seamless login and high-performance connection across hybrid environments including corporate resources located off the internet. Controlling cloud costs The Leostream Connection Broker implements automated rules that control capacity and power state in the cloud, allowing organizations to optimize their cloud usage and minimize costs, such as ensuring cloud instances aren’t left running when they are no longer needed. The Connection Broker also intelligently pools and shares resources across groups of users, so organizations can invest in fewer systems, reducing overall cost of ownership. “These features deliver a streamlined experience with vSphere and hybrid or multi-cloud resources so end users remain productive, and corporate data and applications remain secure,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “At a time when there is uncertainty about the future of support for VMware’s end-user computing, it’s important to bring these options to the market to show that organizations can extend vSphere’s capabilities and simultaneously plan for the future without disruption to the workforce.” About Leostream Corporation Leostream Corporation, the global leader in Remote Desktop Access Platforms, offers comprehensive solutions that enable seamless work-from-anywhere environments for individuals across diverse industries, regardless of organization size or location. The core of the Leostream platform is its commitment to simplicity and insight. It is driven by a unified administrative console that streamlines the management of users, cloud desktops, and IT assets while providing real-time dashboards for informed decision-making. The company continually monitors the evolving remote desktop landscape, anticipating future trends and challenges. This purposeful, proactive approach keeps clients well-prepared for the dynamic changes in remote desktop technology.
