Dragos Global Partner Program onboards hundreds of VARs in its first year due to strong demand for OT cybersecurity, comprehensive offering spanning technology, intelligence, and training

Dragos Inc., the global leader in cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) environments, today announced the company has been recognized by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a prestigious 5-Star Award in its 2024 Partner Program Guide. The 5-Star rating is awarded to the companies that have built their partner programs to go above and beyond in their commitment to nurturing strong, profitable, and successful channel partnerships. This recognition by CRN caps a year of strong momentum for the Dragos Global Partner Program. This includes Dragos’s inclusion on the CRN Security 100 as one of the 20 coolest network security companies of 2024 and the naming of Dragos’s Vice President of Channel Jon Pringle as a 2024 CRN Channel Chief.

According to CRN, this annual guide provides essential information to solution providers exploring technology vendor partner programs that offer high value and align with their business needs and goals. For the 2024 Partner Program Guide, CRN evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

“Recognition on this list reflects the value of the spotlighted vendor partner programs and their commitment to evolving with solution providers and supporting IT channel success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This recognition empowers solution providers to discover vendors that keep pace with the evolving requirements of their business and their clients. With CRN’s 2024 Partner Program Guide, solution providers can access deep insights into the unique strengths of each partner program and vendors who demonstrate dedication to their partner community.”

Launched in June 2023, the Dragos Global Partner Program is the only OT channel program to comprise OT cybersecurity technology, threat intelligence, services, and training. The program offers training that prepares partners as experts who can offer their customers assessment services based on Dragos’s proven assessment methodology, resell the Dragos Platform including asset discovery, threat detection, and vulnerability management, and manage deployment for customers.

“The 5-star rating in the 2024 CRN Partner Program Guide underscores our commitment to developing resellers into OT cybersecurity experts with the most effective OT cybersecurity offerings in their portfolios,” said Jon Pringle, Vice President of US Channel Sales, Dragos. “We ensure that our partners are able to deliver the product, threat intelligence, services, and security expertise required to combat sophisticated cyber adversaries targeting industrial infrastructure around the globe. We do everything we can to support and train our partners on the unique requirements of the OT security market so they can successfully deliver the Dragos Platform and supporting services to their customers.”
