Platinum Elite Technical Certifications
Anomali, the leader in modernizing and scaling security operations by delivering breakthrough levels of visibility and intelligence-driven threat detection and response, today announced the availability of its all-new Platinum Elite Technical Certification Program. To further drive the success of Anomali partners and customers, all partner engineers now have access to the same technical curriculum available to Anomali field and customer success engineers, regardless of their current partner level.

Partners that complete certification are eligible for Platinum Elite Status in the Anomali Resilience Partner Program. Since launching its all-new partner program in March 2022, Anomali has continued to invest in the channel, doubling its channel field personnel and hiring a dedicated Director of Channel Enablement.

“To date, the Resilience Partner Program has absolutely energized our partner base, more than tripling our partner engagement in just the first six months,” said Chris Peterson, VP Worldwide Partnerships at Anomali. “By making our Platinum Elite Enablement Program available to all partners – GSI, value-added reseller, or MSP – Anomali is further investing in our partners, providing additional routes to market and enabling new services-driven revenue opportunities.”

The new training is delivered as a hybrid learning model, incorporating both instructor-led and hands-on labs. It comprises three flexible modules, allowing partners to match technical skill development to their business model and scale their Anomali practice. The three available certifications are:
  • Anomali Proof of Value Certified Engineer - Focused on pre-sales technical skill development;
  • Anomali Certified ThreatStream Engineer - Further enabling partner engineers to deliver implementation and integration services for Anomali ThreatStream; and
  • Anomali Platform Certified Engineer - Enabling partner engineers to deliver implementation and integration services for The Anomali Platform.

“The technical certification training from Anomali is phenomenal,” said Paul Lim, Regional Director, ANZ at Netpoleon. “The cloud delivery environment and interaction with Anomali engineers gives us the hands-on experience we can apply immediately into new service offerings for our channel partners and customers."

Platinum Elite is the top tier in the Anomali Resilience Partner Program and provides partners with several enhanced benefits to maximize margins and increase partner routes to market with The Anomali Platform, including:
  • Licensing to The Anomali Platform for the delivery of billable services;
  • Additional margins on the resale of the Anomali solutions;
  • CPE credits against CISSP continuing education requirements for partner engineers; and
  • Enhanced technical knowledge to deliver customer facing POV and implementation engagements.

"Growing a vendor’s business requires technical knowledge transfer to enable a partner to provide implementation and professional services," said Craig Gledhill, CEO, ACA Pacific. “Anomali’s new modular technical enablement program provides this. It also showcases Anomali's continued commitment to the channel, giving our partners’ engineers the skills necessary to deliver great support to their customers and scale their Anomali business.”
