Apono Launches New Global Partner Program

Apono, a provider of secure access orchestration for modern cloud-native environments, recently announced the launch of a new global partner program.

New program promises sales enablement, GTM support, and ecosystem access

This new partner program will enable service providers, cloud alliances, and systems integrators to meet the demand for identity-aware access control management. 

“The launch of the Apono partner program is a significant step in reaching and impacting a wider customer case, and beyond this, a call to action for the industry,” said Boone Quesnel, VP Cloud Alliances, Apono. “Legacy PAM and access control tools can’t keep up with how today’s cloud environments operate. This is a critical improvement every cloud-first organization should prioritize. Reaching new customers is key in this mission. Apono gives our partners the tools, training, and support to deliver real-time, least-privilege access at scale, across any identity or workload and better secure their customer base’s cloud infrastructure.”

Among the key features of the partner program are:

• Tiered benefits and incentives: Structured support for partners across all stages, with deal protection, volume incentives, and partner-sourced lead rewards.
• Sales and technical enablement: Tailored onboarding, hands-on labs, and certification paths for sales engineers, DevOps consultants, and cloud architects.
• Marketing and Co-GTM support: MDF allocation, campaign kits, early access content, and dedicated partner marketing resources.
• Technology ecosystem access: Priority access to Apono APIs, SDKs, and joint integration roadmaps with major platforms like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, GitHub, Snowflake, and MongoDB.

“The launch of the Apono Partner Program is more than just an expansion for us; it’s a critical step in addressing the evolving security needs of the cloud-native world. We firmly believe that securing today’s dynamic environments demands a new approach, and our partners are integral to bringing this innovative solution to a wider audience,” said Rom Carmel, CEO and co-founder, Apono. “This program empowers them to deliver the sophisticated, real-time access controls essential for modern cloud operations. Together, we’re not just securing access; we’re redefining what’s possible in cloud security.”

Through the program, partners can embed the Apono platform into their offerings, enabling customers to automate privilege elevation, time-bound access, and context-aware approvals without delays or manual overhead.
