Cequence Security, a pioneer in application and API security, announced the expansion and formalization of its Partner Program, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to a channel-only business model.
As API attacks continue to rise as the primary attack vector against enterprises, Cequence’s enhanced Partner Program addresses three critical customer challenges through its trusted ecosystem of security experts, according to the company.
The program tackles API security complexity by ensuring specialized partners deliver Cequence’s Unified API Protection platform, addresses limited in-house expertise by providing customers access to managed services comprised of trusted advisors and turnkey solutions, and eliminates fragmented security approaches by consolidating capabilities into a single unified platform.
“We are dedicated to a channel strategy that delivers value for all stakeholders, ensuring that vendors, partners, and customers can succeed together,” said Sydney Weber, director of channel sales, Cequence Security. “We are excited to formally launch the Cequence Partner Program and strengthen our channel-only approach. This program reflects our commitment to empowering partners with the tools, enablement, and incentives they need to lead in application, API, and AI security while driving growth for both Cequence and our partners.”
The enhanced Partner Program is built on three core pillars designed to maximize partner success and profitability:
- Deal registration and protection: Clear rules of engagement with comprehensive deal protection and margin assurance ensure partners can confidently invest in Cequence opportunities.
- Partner portal and enablement: Instant access to training modules, datasheets, marketing resources, and certifications.
- Incentives and growth programs: Access to SPIF programs, margin protection, and co-marketing support—making it easier to ensure partners are rewarded and enabled for success.
The program features structured tiers, with strategic partners receiving enhanced go-to-market collaboration while authorized partners gain access to comprehensive enablement and deal protection. This tiered approach ensures that all partners receive appropriate support based on their engagement level and market presence, the company said.
Cequence’s partner ecosystem boasts a current network including 20 authorized partners and two additional strategic partnerships currently in onboarding. Top strategic partners include Defy Security and GuidePoint Security, who have been instrumental in driving the program’s success, the company said.
Cequence Security’s commitment to its channel ecosystem is supported by strong alignment across the organization, from executives to sales and enablement teams.
Through structured partner programs, dedicated enablement, and strategic incentives, Cequence has built a high-performing partner network driving strong pipeline growth and accelerating deal velocity, the company said.
