In an effort to sell more security products through its partner channel, Microsoft unveiled a program at its annual partner conference this week that gives commission to partners for influencing sales.
The Security Software Advisor Program enables partners that encourage customers to buy certain Microsoft security products to earn 20 percent of the sale of those products from the vendor after the deal is complete, said Steve Brown, director of product management for security, access and solutions division at Microsoft.
