Enhances partner experience and increases financial incentives

MAHWAH, N.J., Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Radware^� (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of cyber security and application delivery solutions, introduced a new Radware Cybersecurity Partner Program. The global program offers new and existing ecosystem partners a more lucrative and systematic approach to creating, managing, and growing sales opportunities based on Radware’s state-of-the-art cloud services and solutions. Complete with new participation tiers, training, financial incentives, and support materials, it will empower Radware’s ecosystem partners to accelerate their growth and earn more. This includes resellers, managed security service providers, carriers, and cloud service providers.

The partner program, which focuses primarily on cloud security, offers access to Radware’s full portfolio of network security as well as application security and delivery solutions. To support the evolving needs of today’s enterprises and medium-sized businesses, Radware’s comprehensive cloud security offering includes Radware’s Cloud DDoS Protection Service, Cloud Web Application Firewall, API Protection, and Bot Management. Radware’s award-winning solutions are recognized by industry analysts such as Forrester Research, Gartner, GigaOm, KuppingerCole Analysts, and Quadrant Knowledge Solutions.

“Our new Cybersecurity Partner Program will prepare and position our partners to play an even bigger role in our go-to-market strategy and cloud growth engine,” said Yoav Gazelle, chief business officer at Radware. “The program is designed to accelerate our mutual success. We are committed to delivering the technology, services, and professional consulting our partners require as trusted advisors for our customers.”

To meet a range of partners’ needs while rewarding them for the value they deliver throughout the customer lifecycle, Radware’s new Cybersecurity Partner Program is based on three tiers of participation – Certified, Spotlight, and Signature. Each tier offers progressively deeper financial incentives, discount structures, and rebates, as well as more advanced training opportunities and seller tools. The program features:

• More comprehensive onboarding, which includes online and instructor-led sales training, tool kits, shadowing, and access to community forums.
• A new certification and badging program.
• Newly designed sales playbooks, campaigns in a box, battle cards, email templates, co-branded materials, demos, and assessment tools.
• A digital portal to house and organize the program deliverables.

“Radware’s Cybersecurity Partner Program provides much-needed resources to support us in our efforts to continually exceed the needs of our customers,” said Greg Curry, vice president of client solutions at Netagen, one of Canada’s leading independent network solutions providers. “As a Signature Partner, we see tremendous business value in Radware’s partner ecosystem for full customer coverage. The marketing programs, together with enhanced training on Radware products and services, will go a long way in supporting our sales efforts in Canada. It’s great to see Radware invest in their partners, enabling them to thrive and grow.”
