This designation recognizes that Armor has demonstrated expertise and technical proficiency in security solutions that helps customers achieve their cloud security goals.
Achieving the AWS Security Competency status differentiates Armor as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member that provides specialized software designed to help enterprises adopt, develop and deploy complex security projects on AWS. To receive the designation, AWS APN Partners must possess deep expertise and experience with AWS and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS.
“Being one of the first APN partners to achieve AWS Security Competency status reinforces our keen understanding of the platform and a proven ability to keep data safe,” said Chris Drake, founder and CEO, Armor. “In addition to the dynamic security AWS provides, we help fulfill shared security responsibility to protect applications and workloads. Armor’s flexible and reliable technology, orchestrated by our skilled security operations center (SOC), makes meeting these obligations easy. The sizable market share and continued growth of AWS make this new certification a very exciting opportunity.”
AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and Technology APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.
