KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, is being celebrated by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a prestigious 5-star rating in its 2022 Partner Program Guide.
CRN’s annual Partner Program Guide provides a definitive list of the most notable partner programs from industry-leading technology vendors that provide innovative products and flexible services through the IT channel. The 5-star rating is achieved only by select vendors that deliver the best of the best, going above and beyond in their partner programs to help push growth and positive change.
The Partner Program Guide provides the channel community with a deep dive into the partner programs offered by IT vendors, service providers and distributors. Companies are scored based on their investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication. A 5-star rating helps narrow the field to find the best fit, identifying the most rewarding partner programs and providing crucial insight into their strengths.
“It was part of our team’s mission to build a world-class partner program and to drive channel focus throughout the organization,” said Tony Jennings, EVP international and global channel sales and CRN Channel Chief. “We continue to provide partners with a simple, profitable and transparent partner program to enable them to take advantage of the opportunities in the security awareness market. Recognition like this from CRN further drives us to enable our channel partners by continuing to invest in them. We are so grateful to CRN for this recognition and it is all thanks to the dedication of the incredible people working on my team.”
“CRN’s Partner Program Guide delves into the strengths of each organization’s partner program in order to honor those that consistently support and promote good change within the IT channel,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “As innovation fuels the speed and complexity of technology today, solution providers want partners that can keep up with and assist their growing business.”
The 2022 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2022 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/PPG.
