Protect AI Announces New Partner Program to Drive Enterprise Security

Protect AI offers a platform approach to securing AI deployments at scale through AI and automation capabilities. The company has already seen success with some of the world’s largest enterprises, and now they are bringing that success to the channel with the launch of its first partner program.

Program will target partners with large enterprise customers focused on innovative security

Protect AI’s program is a three-tiered system built in the model of most vendor programs, with a foundational level of support and resourcing available to all, and more opportunities available the higher a partner elevates within the tiering.

The program gives partners a comprehensive support framework, including:

● Dedicated Resources: Partners will have dedicated channel account managers, solution engineers and architects, and co-marketing managers to answer questions and drive deals.

● Comprehensive & Individualized Training: Partners can access tailored training to build expertise in ML development and supply chain security.

● Sales Enablement Tools: Marketing materials, thought leadership content, and engineering resources to support the full sales cycle.

● Proposal-Based Co-Marketing Opportunities: Tailored marketing initiatives to generate demand and drive leads. 

“The ideal Protect AI partner is one that sells into large enterprises with a background in Security or MLOps, focusing on industries such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences, energy, e-commerce, and sensitive government operations,” Heidi Hills, Protect AI’s head of channels, told Channel Insider. “With our partner-focused approach, we seek to build strong, collaborative relationships with organizations that are not only aligned with our mission but are also looking to grow with us as we scale together.”

Protect AI said in a press release over 60 partners in North America are already poised to join this new program, and its founding members include global outfits such as WWT.

“WWT has similar experience and history in AI/ML development, and our partnership will afford us unique opportunities to solve customer challenges securely while keeping up with the furious pace of innovation and change in AI technology,” the company’s Global Head of AI & Cyber Innovation Todd Hathaway told us.

The company’s ultimate goal is to provide the security layers enterprises need to continue to innovate with AI technology while adhering to US and global standards.

“Adding a complete single-vendor platform for AI application/supply chain security, GenAI offensive security, LLM runtime security, and observability of AI systems will help our customers accelerate the completion of AI-driven projects with confidence in their ability to mitigate risk to an acceptable level,” Hathaway said.

Hill says the company’s new partner program will enable resellers and their customers to utilize AI securely.

“At Protect AI, we believe there should be no AI in the enterprise without the security of AI,” Hills said. “As the market leader in AI security, this program enables us to bring our innovative solutions to market faster, meet the growing demand from customers, and scale our mission of creating a safer AI-powered world.
