Cybersecurity firm Arms Cyber has launched its Shield Partner Program, an initiative designed to empower North American reseller partners to deliver preemptive cyber defense solutions, moving beyond the reactive approach of legacy systems.
Shifting from reactive to preemptive security
In its official press release, Arms Cyber cited a Gartner forecast predicting that preemptive cybersecurity solutions will account for 50% of all IT security spending. The company said its Shield Partner Program is designed to give partners a “first-mover advantage” as the industry shifts from “reactive cleanup” to proactive defense.
“Ransomware is outpacing traditional defenses, leaving businesses exposed,” said John Pittenger, vice president of channels and alliances at Arms Cyber.
“The Shield Partner Program empowers our partners to deliver solutions that attackers can’t touch, completely invisible, immune, and instantly recoverable, giving them a real competitive edge,” he added.
Proactive defense as a differentiator for partners
According to Arms Cyber, the Shield Partner Program serves as a complete partner ecosystem that arms resellers with “forward-thinking technology built for tomorrow’s threats.”
Here are some of its key benefits:
- Sales-Qualified Lead Referrals: High-intent opportunities sourced by Arms Cyber’s sales and demand generation engine to drive pipeline and revenue growth
- Funded GTM Initiatives: Scalable, data-driven campaigns, events, and pipeline programs
- Full-Access NFR Licenses: Use the platform for live demos and internal training at no cost
- Unified Partner Hub: Register deals, access sales kits, and deploy campaign assets with streamlined support for every stage of the partner journey
- Brand Amplification: Visibility and credibility through logo placement, backlinks, and promotion across Arms Cyber’s digital ecosystem
- Dedicated Channel Enablement: Direct access to regional partner managers, marketing strategists, and technical advisors
The company states that the program will enable resellers to differentiate their offerings and lead the transition to a “next-gen” model of proactive protection.
In April, Arms Cyber unveiled new anti-ransomware capabilities designed to preemptively secure against zero-day attacks. Discover how these offerings enhance protection against emerging risks.
