Network security provider Netsurion has hired a new vice president of channel sales.
Mark Cline will lead channel efforts for the Houston-based company, which provides its remotely managed security services to businesses that have multiple locations.
Netsurion said Cline will “build strategic partner relationships to grow Netsurion’s extensive security and compliance services.”
The new hire spent the previous year working as vice president of sales and marketing at A-lign, a security and compliance solutions provider based in the Southeast. Cline directed sales for ControlScan from 2009 to 2015.
Netsurion has multiple channel programs, launching one of them last September. The newest program focuses on getting its partners eligible for PCI Security Standards (PCI SS).{ad}
“The demand for our services continues to grow through the channel, especially from among smaller regional resellers where PCI compliance is becoming a big issue for their customers, and protecting their customers’ credit-card data is becoming paramount,” Netsurion President Chris Melson told Channel Partners at the time.
