The more you invest and collaborate with TrueFort, the more benefits and rewards you will receive in return.”

Top Market Opportunities
Three of the leading customer use cases that TrueFort channel partners can monetize are:
1) Microsegmentation - TrueFort Zero Trust segmentation goes beyond other limited microsegmentation products by leveraging a behavioral understanding of applications that spans activity from network connections, users, and executed commands.
2) Granular Application Visibility - TrueFort provides a unified, real-time view of all user, network, and process behavior within applications across cloud, virtual, container-based, and traditional environments. This makes it easy to establish and detect trusted and untrusted relationships between applications.
3) Incident Response and Threat Hunting - TrueFort enables workflow-driven, rule-based real time response to attacks. It enables customers to detect and shut down unapproved lateral movement by blocking network connections, killing processes and disconnecting users in real-time.

In the 2023 Partner Program Guide, vendors were evaluated 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.
