Keyfactor Recognized in CRN®’s Partner Program Guide for Third Consecutive Year

Global channel program earned a 5-star rating in the 2023 guide for its commitment to nurturing strong, profitable, and successful channel partnerships

Keyfactor, the identity-first security solution for modern enterprises, today announced it achieved a 5-star rating on CRN®’s, a brand of The Channel Company, 2023 Partner Program Guide. The Keyfactor Partner Program has been recognized in CRN’s Partner Program Guide for three consecutive years.

The CRN annual guide offers essential information to solution providers. Managed service providers (MSPs), value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators, and strategic service providers use the guide to explore technology manufacturers’ partner programs and vendors that best support their business needs. The 5-star rating is awarded to the companies that go above and beyond in their commitment to nurturing strong, profitable, successful channel partnerships.

“The Keyfactor Partner Program is continuously recognized for its delivery of best-in-class machine identity and IoT security solutions, and was purpose-built to address common enterprise identity security challenges. This recognition validates the value our technology brings to our growing partner and customer ecosystem,” said Joe Tong, Senior Vice President of Global Channels, Keyfactor. “It is an honor to be included on CRN’s Partner Program Guide for the third consecutive year, and earn a 5-star rating on the 2023 guide. We thank our channel team and partners for helping us achieve this honorable recognition.”

The proliferation of machine identities requires businesses to prioritize proper machine identity management and mitigation. As more companies invest time, effort and resources to build digital trust, Keyfactor’s Partner Program delivers the insights, tools and support needed to enable their success. The program first launched in February 2020 to facilitate seamless enterprise adoption of Keyfactor’s identity-first solutions through a robust channel effort. Today’s news comes off the heels of the announcement of Keyfactor’s Global Channel Program's recent momentum, including the appointment of Michael de Paris as Vice President of EMEA Channels and Joe Tong named on the CRN 2023 Channel Chief List.

In the 2023 CRN Partner Program Guide, vendors were evaluated 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.

“In today’s world, the need for innovation is greater than ever,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “Solution providers seek vendors that can keep pace with their developing business and evolving client needs. CRN’s 2023 Partner Program Guide delivers deep insight into the strengths of each program, spotlighting the vendors dedicated to supporting their partner community and pushing positive change throughout the IT channel.”

The 2023 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2023 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/PPG.
