MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 24, 2025— Fortra, a global cybersecurity software and services provider, has been honored by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a 5-Star Award in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.
The extensive support and resources technology vendors offer through their partner programs are a critical consideration for solution providers assessing which IT vendors, service providers, and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions. Program elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set vendors apart and play a key role in boosting their partners’ long-term growth and profitability.
The 5-Star Award is an elite recognition given to companies that have built their partner programs on the key elements needed to nurture lasting, profitable, and successful channel partnerships.
For the 2025 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.
The Fortra Global Channel Program is built on a shared commitment among Fortra and its partners to help customers simplify their cybersecurity strategies and become more nimble when responding to threats. The program spans five partnership types to address the unique needs of referral partners, VARs, distributors, MSP/MSSPs, and strategic alliance/OEM partners.
“We are immensely proud of the relationships we’ve built with our trusted cybersecurity partners who represent the Fortra brand in their markets around the world,” said Faraz Siraj, Fortra Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances. “This five-star rating recognizes the success of our collaborative approach and the ability of our partners to excel with the training and benefits Fortra provides. Our focus is supporting our partners at every step, so they can deliver exceptional value to their customers with the backing of the strong Fortra portfolio.”
“Being featured on the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation, and supporting mutual success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers. The guide provides deep insight into the distinctive value of each partner program so solution providers can make strategic partnership decisions with confidence.”
The 2025 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2025 issue of CRN and published online at www.CRN.com/PPG beginning March 24, 2025.
