Partner Program

Differentiated protection.
Recurring revenue.
No more work.

Shield gives MSSPs a prevention-first network security capability that reduces analyst workload and improves customer outcomes. Shield blocks malicious traffic at the network layer using the Global Threat Engine.

At a Glance

Who it's forSecurity teams needing prevention-first network defense.
How it deploysShield's five products cover cloud, Shield OnPremise, endpoint, monitoring, and management.
What you getPrevention of known-bad connections with full evidence of what was blocked.
Know More. Miss Less.

Most reseller programs hand you a discount and a quota. The INTRUSION Partner Network is built for MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, and integrators who want prevention on their line card. New revenue. Lower SOC overhead. A product your competitors can’t sell.

Three Outcomes

What partners get.

01

New recurring revenue

Sell prevention as a managed service. Consistent monthly recurring revenue without adding headcount or operational overhead.

02

Low operational overhead

Autonomous enforcement means less SOC tuning, fewer support tickets, less analyst time per client. Same team, more clients.

03

Differentiated protection

Prevention-first cybersecurity backed by 25+ years of government-grade threat intelligence. Something your competitors don’t have.

Who It’s For

Built for partners
who sell outcomes.

MSP

Managing IT for SMB and mid-market clients. Add prevention to your security stack to differentiate beyond commodity AV and endpoint detection.

MSSP

Operating a SOC across many tenants. Reduce alert volume across the client base. Multi-tenant operations through a single Shield Command Hub.

VAR & Integrator

Selling security platforms into enterprise and government accounts. Add a defensible, prevention-first product to your portfolio.

What Partners Sell

A clear
packaging story.

Shield is one platform: five products in the portfolio. Sell what fits each client. Bundle as a managed service or as a license play.

What’s included

Shield platforms (Stratus, Shield OnPremise, Endpoint, Shield Sentinel). Command Hub access for multi-tenant operations. Threat intelligence updates. Platform support and escalation.

What’s optional

Detailed threat reports by Intrusion threat hunting experts. Custom advisory engagement. Architecture review for complex deployments.

Specific margin tiers, deal registration mechanics, and bundle pricing are shared during the partner intro call. We don’t publish them publicly so we can keep partners’ competitive economics protected.

How Partners Make Money

Margin model
that respects you.

Recurring revenue

Sell as a monthly managed service. Consistent MRR per client, multiplied across the client base. Margin built into the product, not hidden in services.

Services attach

Customer reporting. Compliance attestation. Quarterly business reviews built on Shield evidence. Billable advisory hours that don’t require triaging false positives.

Deal registration

Register opportunities to lock pricing and protect your pipeline. Channel-friendly, partner-protective. We don’t go around you.

Pitch decks, battle cards, ROI worksheets, customer-facing one-pagers. Designed to be co-branded and used in your sales motion, not stored on a portal nobody visits.

Pre-sales SE engagement on real opportunities. Architecture review for complex deployments. POV support to accelerate customer decisions.

Requirements

What we
look for.

Eligibility

Standard partner agreement, deal registration adherence, partner-of-record discipline. Channel hygiene matters because it protects everyone’s economics.

Minimum expectations

One certified technical resource. One trained sales lead. Active deal registration. Specific minimums vary by tier and are confirmed at intro.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this a discount-only program?

No. We’re building a partner-led motion: technical enablement, deal registration, joint marketing, and a margin model that pays for outcomes, not paperwork.

How long does it take to ramp?

Most partners run their first deployment within 30 days of certification. POV support and deal-level pre-sales engineering are available from day one.

Do you sell direct?

We respect partner-of-record. Deal registration locks the opportunity. Where INTRUSION already has a direct relationship, we’ll be transparent about it during intro.

Can I bundle Shield with my managed service offering?

Yes. Many MSP and MSSP partners do exactly that. The packaging story is built around managed-service economics.

What if my client already has another security vendor?

Shield works alongside existing tools. No rip-and-replace required. Most customers run Shield in addition to their EDR, SIEM, and firewall stack, not instead of them.
