To build secure, high-quality software in today’s challenging environment, organizations need world-class partnerships backed by industry-leading software quality and application security products and services.

Tom Herrmann, newly appointed vice president of channels and alliances at Synopsys, understands the value of global channel partner networks and what they can do for customers. He has spent the last 25 years working closely with partners, both large channel and alliances organizations and smaller organizations, to build partner businesses from the ground up. Today he oversees all partner program and go-to-market strategy and execution across all partner types for Synopsys.

We spoke with Tom to learn how the Synopsys channel partner ecosystem—which includes resellers, distributors, system integrators, consulting firms, cloud solution providers (CSPs), independent software vendors, and other technology partners—provides solutions to business problems. He also shares what differentiates the Synopsys partner ecosystem from other channel programs in today’s market.

What do you hear from the partner community that they are most focused on with their customers?

Companies face myriad business challenges today—everything from digital transformation, the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data, to regulatory compliance, cyber security, data privacy, cost containment, customer experience, employee experience, and so on. Trying to solve these challenges is virtually impossible without the help of other companies that have expertise in these areas.

Like Synopsys, our partners work closely with customers and clients to help them address their most challenging business problems. They offer guidance on processes improvements, policies, security posture, and efficiency gains, as well as provide operational services and recommend technology solutions to help address these challenges.

Global Independent Study of 500 Senior Level Respondents Provides Clear Picture for the Future of Network Security

Dallas, Texas | March 23, 2021 | – Distinct priorities have emerged when it comes to responding to the needs of IT security’s rapid transformation, independent research sponsored by FireMon has found. The survey of 500 cybersecurity leaders across North America and EMEA uncovered the key investments organizations are making, and the rationale behind their decisions.

“The study shows that a cocktail of multiplying threats, the proliferation of hybrid and cloud architectures, blended with a pandemic-fueled explosion in distributed and remote work has created a perfect storm for network security teams,” said Satin H. Mirchandani, President and CEO of FireMon.  “It’s no wonder that they’re adding new technologies, architectures, and approaches to ensure their networks remain protected.”

The survey identified five major areas for network security investment:

  • Automation – More than 50 percent of organizations are currently investing in automating policy management to safeguard against inefficient and risky functions and 79 percent say they’ll implement security orchestration and automation within two years to improve agility and responsiveness.

  • Zero Trust – 45 percent of organizations plan to implement a Zero Trust in the next 12 months, adding to the 17 percent of organizations that have already begun this process. The biggest drivers are a greater need for secure remote access (72 percent), reducing cybersecurity risk (70 percent), and supporting the transition to cloud architectures (51 percent).

  • Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) – 85 percent of organizations have either already implemented a SASE platform or plan to do so within two years.

  • Security-Development Misalignment: 82 percent of IT leaders admit their application development (DevOps) and network security operations teams are not well aligned.

  • Heterogeneity and Integration: With growing complexity and heterogeneity, 95% of respondents are concerned about the lack of integration of network security platforms and their IT infrastructure.

From an automation perspective,…
