Zenarmor, Inc., offering secure access and network security, is rolling out its Zenarmor SASE Channel Partner Program—a program designed to enable MSPs, MSSPs, ISPs, and security-focused partners to deliver, operate, and monetize SASE services without centralized cloud PoPs, service chaining, or architectural lock-in.
According to the company, the new program formalizes Zenarmor’s distributed SASE go-to-market model and enables partners to deliver omnipresent security that follows users, applications, and data across on-prem, cloud, edge, and remote environments using a single-app, single-stack, single-pass SASE platform that runs natively wherever users and applications operate.
It is centrally managed across customers through Zenconsole, and partners deploy Zenarmor SASE on customer-owned or partner-managed infrastructure, preserving privacy, sovereignty, and control.
Zenarmor’s channel program introduces a distributed, partner-operated SASE delivery model – where security enforcement happens at or near the traffic source, partners retain operational control, and customers avoid unnecessary latency, privacy risks, and vendor dependency. This is especially significant for distributed and hybrid workforces, latency-sensitive applications, regulated industries and regions with strict data residency requirements, and MSPs and MSSPs building differentiated managed security services, the company said.
“Service providers and channel partners often face significant integration and operational challenges when delivering traditional SASE solutions built on SD-WAN overlays and cloud-based PoPs,” said Shamus McGillicuddy, vice president of research at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). “Zenarmor simplifies that model by consolidating connectivity and security into a single-application, distributed architecture that can run across endpoints, gateways, cloud environments, and ISP customer premises equipment, eliminating reliance on centralized PoPs. This approach offers partners greater flexibility, performance, and control in delivering SASE services, which is why EMA recognized Zenarmor as a Vendor to Watch.”
Zenarmor’s channel program enables partners to deliver full SASE functionality including Zero Trust access, secure internet access, and inline inspection without routing traffic through centralized PoPs.
This results in dramatically lower latency, improved user experience, and consistent security enforcement wherever users and applications operate. Zenarmor SASE deploys in minutes as a single application across on-prem, cloud, and edge including network edges, gateways and endpoint devices, the company said.
Partners can onboard customers rapidly without forklift upgrades, complex service chaining, or multi-vendor orchestration, accelerating time-to-revenue and reducing operational overhead. Because traffic inspection and policy enforcement occur locally, Zenarmor enables customers and partners to meet strict privacy, data residency, and compliance requirements. Sensitive traffic does not need to leave the country, region, or customer-controlled environment to be secured.
“For too long, SASE has been synonymous with centralized cloud inspection and vendor-controlled infrastructure,” said Murat Balaban, founder and CEO of Zenarmor. “We built Zenarmor differently. Our architecture was designed from day one to enforce security wherever users and applications operate, without forcing traffic through external PoPs or service chains. This new channel program aligns our go-to-market with that architectural reality. It empowers partners to deliver the entire SASE stack as a distributed, high-performance service they control. Partners are no longer reselling someone else’s cloud, they are operating their own modern, omnipresent SASE infrastructure.”
