Sell the Platform That Stops the Breach.

Shield is the prevention-first cybersecurity platform partners are adding to their stack in 2026. Strong margins. Real differentiation. A product your customers actually need. Backed by 25 years of IP and DNS reputation, the Global Threat Engine, and a channel team that picks up the phone.

Why Now

Detection-First Is Getting Harder to Sell.

Your buyers are tired of more alerts, more dashboards, more tooling that promises to find the threat after it's already in. Shield is the prevention-first story they haven't heard a hundred times. You're not selling another EDR. You're not selling another SIEM. You're selling a category your customers actually want.

One platform. Five Shield products. Three places to deploy. One Global Threat Engine making the decisions.

The Tracks

Three Ways to Partner With Intrusion.

Whatever you sell today, there's a Shield play for it.

Track One

Managed Service Providers

Per-seat, per-month recurring revenue. Multi-tenant Command Hub for managing every customer from one console. Strong unit economics. Deploy in under four hours. The MSP-ready prevention layer that adds to your stack without adding to your alert queue.

Track Two

Resellers

Deal registration to protect your leads. Field-based sales support that knows the product. Co-marketing co-investment. A prevention-first story that shortens the sales cycle because your buyer isn't comparing it to twelve other dashboards.

Track Three

Technology Alliance Partners

Integrate Shield's prevention layer into your existing platform. Strengthen your offering with reputation-based blocking, 25 years of IP and DNS history, and 8.5 billion combinations of intelligence working alongside whatever you've already built.

The Substance

What You Actually Get.

The substance behind the partner program. Not vague "we set you up for success" language. Specific tools, support, and money math.

Dedicated Channel Leadership

Field-Based Partner Sales Management.

You get a named contact, not a ticket queue. Field-based Partner Sales Managers who know the technology, know your market, and stay involved through the deal cycle. Expert assistance at any stage of the sales process. Real humans, real fast.

Shield Partner Academy

Six-Module Training Program for Sales and Technical Teams.

Shield Partner Academy walks your team through every Shield product, every key buyer objection, and every deployment scenario. Self-paced. Built for sales reps and engineers. Track completion across your team. Your team is ready to sell in days, not months.

Intrusion Partner Portal

Deal Registration. Sales Tools. Battlecards.

Deal registration to protect your leads. Battlecards covering 50+ competitors across 11 categories. Sales playbooks. Technical datasheets. Co-branded marketing materials. The Partner Portal is where the work actually gets done.

Margin and Recurring Revenue

Per-Seat, Per-Month. MRR Built In.

Per-seat, per-month billing maps to your existing MRR model. No hardware to stock. No annual contract minimums. Predictable recurring revenue. Strong unit economics. The kind of math your CFO actually likes.

Marketing Support

Co-Marketing and Demand Generation.

Co-branded materials. Joint webinars. Lead-gen activities with shared investment. Listing on the Intrusion website locate-a-partner page. We bring leads to the partners who bring effort to the relationship.

Proof of Value Program

Run a POV. Win the Customer.

Drop Shield into a customer environment in Observe Mode. Zero disruption. Zero cost to the prospect. After the observation period, show them what their current stack missed. Most Proof of Value engagements close. The math sells itself.

The Fit

Who We're Looking For.

The right partner relationship requires a real match. Here's what good looks like.

You Already Sell Security.

You're not picking up cybersecurity for the first time. You have a security practice, a security team, or a security narrative your customers trust. Shield is additive to your existing offering, not a replacement for things you don't have.

You Have Real Customers Asking Real Questions.

The best Shield conversations start with customers who are already concerned about ransomware, dwell time, IoT exposure, or alert fatigue. You don't need to manufacture demand. You need a product that answers questions your customers are already asking.

You Move Fast.

Shield deploys in under four hours. Observe Mode generates real evidence in days, not quarters. Our best partners move at that pace. If your sales cycle is built for slower products, this might not be the right fit.

You Invest in Your Team.

Shield Partner Academy is included. We expect your sales and technical teams to take it. Partners who train win bigger deals than partners who don't. That's not a guess. That's the data.
