The IT industry's next great security company, Websense delivers differentiated products that solve customer needs and offers a distribution and support channel that brings solutions to market and drives customer advocacy. The Websense® TRITON™ solutions are winning many fans and receiving rave reviews and awards for delivering the best security against modern malware at the lowest total cost. The company's TRITON Solution Customer First Initiative continues to mutually benefit Websense and its customers. And today, Websense announces that two of its North American channel leaders are recognized as CRN Channel Chiefs, a coveted industry award for those who work very closely with the value added reseller and managed service provider community to defend, promote, and execute effective partner strategies and programs.

Websense vice president of worldwide channels  Kurt Mills and Canadian country manager Fiaaz Walji are both honored for their channel leadership, partner advocacy, and dedication to ensuring that channel partners' voices are heard and their business needs remain a top priority for the company. Under Mills' leadership, Websense launched new business-building resources that led to record year-over-year growth for its managed channel partners, and a sizable increase for systems integrators and IT consultants.

Among the resources introduced last year were the TRITON Solution Technical Enablement Program, which includes the TRITON Olympian Certification, and the TRITON Solution Customer First Initiative. The Customer First Initiative is a three-pronged program with enhanced support, training, and tools; and education to help customers more effectively market, sell, and support the Websense TRITON solution.
