Partner Business Growth
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, today announced the new CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider (CPSP) program. The CPSP program will help service providers unlock broader value-added solution bundles, enhance profitability and expand their routes to market. In addition, CrowdStrike is establishing a new Elite tier (currently invitation-only) that incentivizes CPSP partners with campaigns, capabilities and expanded market opportunities.

Adversaries move fast, and service providers need technologies that drive predictable and scalable security and business outcomes for their customers. Purpose-built in the cloud with a single lightweight agent, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform enables partners to rapidly deliver solutions spanning endpoint security and XDR, cloud security, identity protection, data protection, managed threat hunting, security and IT operations, threat intelligence and log management at scale and without friction.

The CPSP program will:
  • Offer flexible choice of solutions aligned to a customer’s business needs: CPSP partners can choose to incorporate CrowdStrike package bundles or individual Falcon platform modules into their security offerings to their customers.
  • Provide opportunity to enhance profitability with new incentive structures: CPSP partners will have a variety of discount options including:
    • CPSP partner discount for specialized package bundles and add-on modules, powered by the Falcon platform.
    • Volume-based discounts for CPSP package bundles, which enable partners to accelerate their speed to market with industry-leading CrowdStrike products.
  • Optimize go-to-market with new Elite tier: Elite CPSP partners are incentivized with new value-added bundles, new discounts, additional partnership and technical support, enhanced go-to-market support, executive sponsorship and unique CPSP-focused partner campaigns to help increase customer satisfaction with advanced security capabilities.

“Partners love the value that they get from the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, as it provides the highest level of protection for customers and is easy to implement and manage. We wanted to make sure that service providers got additive value when introducing the CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider program. To that end, we developed the CPSP program in partnership with GSIs, MDR vendors, MSPs, MSSPs and Telcos to ensure we were meeting their needs and empowering them to grow their businesses,” said Michael Rogers, vice president, global alliances at CrowdStrike.

The CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider program recognizes and rewards partners who are committed to uphold CrowdStrike’s mission of stopping breaches through the delivery of their services underpinned by the Falcon platform. Elite CPSP partners for the CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider program include: Cyber Defense Labs, Deloitte, eSentire, Marco Technologies, Orange Cyberdefense and Sirius.

Partnering Up for AI Success: AWS Drops Hints About Program Evolution

Amazon Web Services | September 06, 2023

AWS discreetly hints at upcoming changes within its partner program framework, particularly in AI and partner engagement initiatives. Partners can expect three critical components in upcoming partner programs: Generative AI, partner collaboration, and Marketplace enhancements. AWS approaches generative AI differently from other Amazon divisions, focusing on a corporate perspective. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is reorganizing its current partner programs, hinting at forthcoming changes related to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and collaborative partnerships among its associates. Partners can look forward to three key elements that are expected to be integrated into the partner programs later this year – the incorporation of generative artificial intelligence, increased collaboration among partners, and improvements to the Marketplace. The forthcoming announcements will address many of these subjects, stemming from the consistent inquiries posed by partners to the cloud industry leader. AWS will approach generative AI with a distinct perspective compared to other aspects of the Amazon enterprise, as it examines this technology from a corporate rather than a consumer standpoint. AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Channels and Alliances Jeff Kratz stated, "Our approach is to democratize and have the broadest and deepest solution set, so that depending on what the customer needs, the partner can fulfill it." AWS has been actively involved in discussions with its partners, gathering valuable input on safeguarding intellectual property and harnessing the capabilities of large language models. Additionally, the company has emphasized the increasing enthusiasm among its partners for nurturing collaborative relationships within the partner ecosystem. Instead of solely pursuing individual endeavors, these partners seek opportunities for strategic partnerships, aligning with AWS's commitment to supporting channel partners as they transition toward managing and reselling managed services. Another crucial component is AWS Marketplace, a platform currently undergoing substantial investment by the cloud giant and designed to serve independent software vendors (ISVs). Nevertheless, AWS acknowledges the potential for systems integrators (SIs) to thrive within this ecosystem. AWS remains committed to significant ongoing investments in the AWS Marketplace, fostering an environment where ISVs can effectively showcase and expand their solutions both on a global and domestic scale. Moreover, it recognizes the opportunity for SIs who wish to offer private marketplace solutions while actively supporting such endeavors.
