Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, has announced the launch of the Proofpoint Partner Network, a revamped global partner program designed to accelerate partner growth, improve margins, and deliver greater customer value. The program aligns with the evolving threat landscape where cyber risks increasingly target people, data, and AI-driven workflows, positioning partners to capitalize on the fast-growing human- and agent-centric security market.
The new program emphasizes predictable, long-term partner revenue, building on Proofpoint’s industry-leading customer loyalty—over 90% renewal rates and many relationships spanning more than a decade. Partners gain deeper incentives for customer acquisition and renewals, expanded demand generation co-investment, and targeted investments in data security to address one of the fastest-growing spend areas.
“Partners play a critical role in helping reduce risk, simplify security, and drive measurable outcomes for customers,” said Stan de Boisset, senior vice president of global channels at Proofpoint. “The Proofpoint Partner Network reflects how the market is evolving, built to help our partners win with stronger economics, clearer protections, and the tools they need to build successful, long-term practices around the most trusted human-centric security platform in the market. By aligning our investments to partner growth, simplifying engagement, and leading together in the agentic security era, we’re delivering a program that helps our partners win today and well into the future.”
The Proofpoint Partner Network prioritizes profitability and predictability through:
These elements help partners achieve higher win rates, improved margins, and sustained account growth without added complexity or vendor sprawl. Proofpoint’s advanced threat intelligence—derived from trillions of signals annually—enables partners to differentiate offerings while addressing risks in agentic workspaces where human-AI interactions create new vulnerabilities.
The program introduces three tiers—Select, Elite, and Elite+—that reward investment and performance with escalating benefits. Mid- and top-tier partners receive NFR (Not For Resale) licenses for hands-on training, demos, and technical expertise development.
To support modern purchasing preferences, Proofpoint is expanding marketplace availability through AWS and Microsoft Azure, unlocking new routes for AI, data security, and service-led opportunities. In 2026, the program will further empower partners to develop and scale high-margin services, including health checks and certified deployment offerings.
“Proofpoint recognizes the value partners bring not only in identifying the best opportunities for our clients but turning those opportunities into data-driven success with a shared vision of mutual growth,” said John Hurley, CRO at Optiv. “We’re encouraged by the investments Proofpoint is making in top-tier partners across both the front end and the back end of the business, along with the stronger protections that give us confidence. Knowing our efforts are trusted and safeguarded makes this a program we can build around.”
