Why get a COVID-19 Antibody Test?

• COVID-19 antibody testing may indicate that an individual has been exposed to the virus  
• Exposure triggers the immune system to start the production of antibodies to fight against the virus 
• Detection of the antibody indicates an immune response rather than detecting the virus itself  
• This simple blood test can play a critical role in the fight against COVID-19 by determining if you qualify to donate blood that can be used as a possible treatment for those who are seriously ill from this virus  
• This blood test is covered by most insurances 

To schedule an appointment, please call your local Med First clinic or request an appointment online.

Cybersecurity is always a team effort. Day in, day out, defenders rely on an ecosystem of teams, partners and vendors to address the evolving threat landscape and deliver on a holistic security mission. The recent global shift to remote work, along with the continued adoption of cloud, IoT, mobile and DevOps technologies, has only underscored this need for collaboration. 

At Tenable, we’ve made several key investments in our Tenable Assure partner program to help distributors, resellers and managed security service providers (MSSP) better support end-user organizations with the tools they need to understand and reduce cyber risk. It was an honor to see these efforts recognized by CRN in its 2021 Five Star Partner Program Guide in the cybersecurity space. Some of our recent game-changing updates include:

• A revamped, peer-tested partner portal, optimized for easy access to product updates, sales playbooks and turnkey web, social, email and digital ad campaigns.

• Modular training and certification that enable sales, technical and service delivery practitioners to master the nuances of Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) and Operational Technology (OT) security at their own pace. 

• Simplified deal registration that removes minimum license counts on eligible products, making it easier to achieve protection and incumbency on Tenable opportunities.

We are also seeing a great balance of both Tenable-sourced and partner-sourced business, highlighting the success that active Tenable Assure partners are experiencing in bringing new customers into the fold and helping more organizations protect their ever-expanding attack surface.

Announcing the 2021 Global Partner Awards

As part of our ongoing channel commitment, we’re excited to launch a new initiative to champion our Tenable Assure community and highlight those partners who have gone above and beyond in their respective regions and categories. Our first annual Global Partner Awards includes six categories that recognize the success of Tenable’s highest-performing distributors, resellers and MSSP partners over the previous calendar year, from January 1—December 31, 2020. We hope these awards foster some friendly competition, as well as a renewed commitment to sharing best practices that can help more customers evolve from one-off vulnerability scanning and assessment to an ongoing, risk-based vulnerability management program. When more channel partners are winning more business, it means that more organizations around the world are leading the way in eliminating unacceptable risks and proactively managing their cyber exposure.
