FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Coretek is thrilled to announce they have obtained the Threat Protection advanced specialization for Microsoft Partners. Microsoft Partners with active Gold Competencies that demonstrate deep knowledge in specific technologies can attain advanced specializations. These specializations ensure that a partner meets the highest standards for delivery and support for Microsoft customers.
The continually evolving threat landscape demands that businesses protect against threats and detect and recover rapidly from security incidents. Yet, managing security is a challenge for many organizations as the number and severity of threats continue to grow, and there is a shortage of employees with qualified security skills, which is why many organizations turn to partners to secure their business-critical systems and data.
Organizations are looking for trusted partners and new tactics to proactively protect and monitor the security of IP and customer data to safeguard their business. Microsoft designed the Threat Protection advanced specialization to help customers identify which partners have validated technical capabilities in deploying Microsoft Threat Protection, Microsoft Cloud App Security, or Azure Sentinel workloads.
The requirements to obtain Microsoft Advanced specializations are rigorous and thorough, thus ensuring partners with this designation are adequately vetted for customers looking to engage with their solutions.
Microsoft partners who prove deep knowledge, extensive experience, and proven success deploying Microsoft Threat Protection, Microsoft Cloud App Security, or Azure Sentinel workloads can showcase their capabilities to customers by obtaining the Threat Protection advanced specialization. Each partner must meet the following requirements to qualify for this advanced specialization:
- Maintain an active Gold Security Competency.
- Achieve a minimum of 1,000 Monthly Active User growth of Azure Advanced Threat Protection or Microsoft Cloud App Security in a trailing 12-month period. Or achieve a minimum of USD100,000 in Azure Consumed Revenue from Azure Sentinel in a trailing 12-month period.
- Have at least six employees who have passed the MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administrator exam.
- Provide three customer references demonstrating the partner's ability to deploy Microsoft Threat Protection, Microsoft Cloud App Security, or Azure Sentinel workloads.
- Pass a third-party remote audit.
"As we engage with our customers, it is paramount to us that they understand how the threat landscape is changing within their industry and how to stay protected. We work to support them by proactively ensuring that they are prepared to detect when threats occur and understand how threats get mitigated so that they can recover quickly to avoid business disruption. Obtaining our Threat Protection advanced specialization with Microsoft displays our commitment and technical ability to partner with them to safeguard their business-critical data and applications." —Crystal Herald, Director of Microsoft Solutions
