Nebulas questions product-focused VAR model

Reseller lifts the veil on nPortal repository

Nebulas claims it is "raising the security reseller bar" with the launch of a customer portal that allows its customers to monitor and manage their network security estates.

Called nPortal, it will provide a centralised repository of all information relating to supported or managed network security devices and associated services in real time, Nebulas said.

The firm hit out at product-focused security resellers, claiming they have been guilty of selling additional layers of security to counter emerging threats, without offering the customer a method of managing their growing product estates.

The free portal, which will go live on 14 June, will enable the VAR to become a virtual extension to a customer's security team, said Nebulas managing director Nick Garlick (pictured).

"Due to the nature of today's dynamic threat landscape, our customers are continuously challenged to ensure their security infrastructures remain effective.

"This has become an increasingly complex task as customers have finite resources and time. The portal has been designed with this single purpose in mind, to help simplify customers' security operations and ultimately make their lives easier," he added.
