Semgrep Partners Get First Formal Partner Programs

Semgrep partners now have access to the application security provider’s first formal partner programs that aim to help partners strengthen their customers’ cybersecurity.

The three new partner programs are based on the types of partners Semgrep works with. Those are channel, technology and consulting partners.

More than 15 channel partners have already joined that program to help clients achieve their security goals. Semgrep partners have increased their revenue by integrating services around Semgrep’s application security platform.

Tyler Smith, Semgrep’s head of partnerships, said the new programs are a formalization of partner models his company has collaborated on with partners with the aim to provide efficient onboarding, clarity on incentives and paths for deeper collaboration with his company.

The need for the programs was prompted by a combination of inbound demand from the cybersecurity ecosystem to partner with Semgrep, plus the company’s view that “we can grow faster and serve our customers better with an ecosystem of partners where there are clear mutual benefits for the end client,” he said.
