Lifeboat to Distribute Thycotic Identity and Access Management Solutions

SHREWSBURY, NJ — (Marketwired) — 12/17/15 — Lifeboat Distribution, an international specialty distributor for virtualization, security, application and network infrastructure, and other technically sophisticated products, today announced a distribution agreement with Thycotic, a leading provider of comprehensive Privileged Account Management (PAM) solutions. Lifeboat will distribute Thycotic–s full line of enterprise security solutions to its network of resellers in the United States, Canada, and Latin America.

Thycotic solutions that Lifeboat will distribute include: Secret Server privileged account management that provides the ability to manage, change, and monitor privileged passwords in a centralized, web-based vault; Password Reset Server that provides simple, self-service password management directly from the web or Windows login screen and enforces stronger end-user password controls; as well as Group Management Server that allows self-service Active Directory group management and empowers non-IT business leaders to securely manage their department–s AD Groups and provision new user access without assigning them a privileged account.

“Thycotic has a significant portfolio of over 3,500 customers, and over 180,000 users, but the Thycotic Partner Program is relatively new,” said Bob Gagnon, VP of Channel Sales at Thycotic. “Among other things, we added a very lucrative Thycotic Rewards deal registration program that offers not only deal protection and margin protection, but also upfront financial rewards. We–re looking forward to significantly expanding our reach through our partnership with Lifeboat and their strong network of resellers.”

“We–re delighted that Thycotic chose Lifeboat as their first North America and Latin America distributor. Thycotic–s scalable enterprise solutions are a valuable addition to our security portfolio, as our partners can now offer cost-effective, smart, reliable, and easy-to-use IT security solutions that ensure protection from cyber-attacks and insider threats,” said William R. Botti, Executive Vice President at Lifeboat Distribution. “Privileged accounts represent one of the most vulnerable aspects of an organization–s IT infrastructure. With Thycotic–s solutions for managing password resets, privileged account management and AD group management, their customers will now be able to significantly streamline and speed security processes, while ensuring tight control and access to Privileged Accounts.”

Lifeboat will promote Thycotic–s Privileged Account Management solutions in conjunction with the company–s extensive line cards of security and network & infrastructure management products.
