Westcon-Comstor has announced a joint initiative with Check Point Software and Extreme Networks to help channel partners tap into growing demand for AI governance solutions among enterprises.
The initiative is dubbed Power Alliance and combines Check Point’s cybersecurity controls and policy intelligence with Extreme Networks’ AI-powered Extreme Platform ONE.
The collaboration aims to help partners develop and deliver integrated solutions that enable enterprises to manage how employees and organisations use AI applications while maintaining security, compliance and control.
A key component of the initiative is a dedicated Check Point and Extreme Networks sandbox environment. All this is within Westcon-Comstor’s 3D Lab allowing partners to explore and validate integrated solutions, demonstrate their capabilities to customers and reduce deployment risks before implementation.
The Power Alliance will also provide partners with technical and sales enablement, go-to-market support and customer engagement programmes to help them develop repeatable AI governance services and generate new revenue opportunities.
“AI governance is rapidly becoming a board-level issue as organisations look to balance innovation with security, compliance and control,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market at Westcon-Comstor.
Michael Herman, Head of Channels Europe at Check Point Software, said, “Effective governance requires moving beyond visibility and towards consistent policy enforcement. Through the Power Alliance, we’re helping partners combine security intelligence, policy controls and network awareness to address a rapidly emerging customer requirement while creating new opportunities for growth.”
Ali Giacomin, Vice President, Commercial Offers at Extreme Networks added, “Extreme brings the network access and visibility to see how users, devices and applications use AI, and the automation to act on it quickly. Paired with Check Point’s policy controls and Westcon-Comstor’s partner enablement, that’s a clear path from visibility to governance.”
