According to Jeferson Propheta’s description, the Accelerate Partner Program is “a network of elite partners that offers the solutions, intelligence and security expertise necessary to combat today’s advanced cyberadversaries”.
The program unites cybersecurity partners of all kinds, including VARs, MSPs, MSSPs, GSIs, SIs, Cloud, reseller marketplaces, telcos, OEMs, insurers, ISVs and more, around the shared mission of stopping cybersecurity violations.
“The Accelerate Partner Program is designed to enable the partner ecosystem to build and expand partnerships with CrowdStrike Falcon, as well as to collaborate on and through the native AI platform leader in cybersecurity”.
Within the program, the company classifies partners into partners and distributors, service providers, strategic technology partners and OEM partners. Depending on the category you are in, Accelerate provides different benefits that increase the productivity of your partners, such as CrowdCard. “It’s a novelty in cybersecurity, where solutions engineering professionals and individual sales get cash refund rewards on a CrowdStrike branded debit card,” explained Prophet.
CrowdCard offers reward payments in a matter of days, optimizing behaviors and results. Accelerate also rewards partners with attractive margins, discount levels and rebates to support cost-effective and focused CrowdStrike practices.
Added to this, the brand offers its go-to-market partners specific solutions, new-age “edutainment”, gamified rewards and a wealth of sales tools, marketing and support, to enhance the development of their businesses and help them reduce the total cost of ownership.
“Through the tools offered by the Accelerate Partner Program, CrowdStrike partners can accelerate their success like never before, helping customers reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), consolidate timely products and stay protected on the Falcon Platform”.
In addition, the executive referred to the most outstanding developments of this program. “We recently expanded our partnerships and alliances with Global System Integrators (GSIs), Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to drive legacy SIEM transformation services with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM”, Prophet reported.
He concluded: “CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM now supports the largest ecosystem of ISV data sources from any exclusive cybersecurity provider. Data from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cloudflare, Cribl, ExtraHop, Okta, Rubrik, Zscaler and more than 500 security and IT leaders can seamlessly integrate with Falcon Platform data, threat intelligence, AI and low workfautomation to drive AI-low automationnative SOC and provide security teams with the centralized information they need to stop violations faster than ever”.
Opportunity for partners
“Next-gen SIEM will be the next big breakthrough for partners to take advantage of. Since CrowdStrike accounts for more than 80% of data entering today’s SIEM, we are in a natural position to revolutionize, consolidate and chart the future of the SIEM market. Our next-generation approach to SIEM solves one of the biggest and most expensive challenges with SIEM: managing huge volumes of security and IT data and accelerating threat detection and response to modern threats,” said Jeferson Propheta.
“The cloud is another important area of opportunities for partners. Cloud utilization is reaching unprecedented levels and that’s why industry leaders across all vertical sectors are choosing Falcon Cloud Security to protect their heterogeneous cloud environments, consolidating multiple point products on the Falcon platform. Offering features such as cloud attack path analysis, API-based side scanning and, more recently, integrated ASPM and CDR sets us apart as the only solution on the market that covers the code, application and infrastructure on which everything runs,” he said.
