Apono Launches a New Partner Program

Apono, the premier provider of secure access management for cutting-edge cloud environments, recently unveiled its global partner program. This strategic initiative is tailored to empower service providers, cloud alliances, and systems integrators in responding to the increasing demand for dynamic, identity-conscious access control.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape where every identity carries significance and access is sensitive, the Apono partner program represents a cornerstone of the company's objective — to facilitate security in a world where every second is crucial. As infrastructure transitions from static to dynamic and manual processes become more autonomous, security teams encounter considerable challenges in protecting temporary environments utilizing outdated tools. Apono aims to address this by establishing a comprehensive, partner-centric Cloud Access Platform.

According to Boone Quesnel, Apono's VP of Cloud Alliances, the launch of the partner program is a monumental step toward engaging a broader customer base. "Legacy PAM and access control systems can't keep pace with the operational demands of contemporary cloud environments. Therefore, enhancing our outreach to new clients is essential. Apono equips our partners with the necessary tools, training, and support to deliver timely, least-privilege access across any identity or workload, substantially bolstering the security of our customers' cloud infrastructure," he stated.

Addressing Modern Security Challenges

In contemporary hybrid environments, where infrastructure dynamically scales and workloads autonomously seek access, Apono's platform is precisely what security teams need. The necessity for real-time, automated access workflows to mitigate risk without hindering development is paramount.

Eric Skeens, Co-Founder and CEO of Three Tree Tech, emphasized the increasing complexity of cloud environments: "Over-privileged identities present serious risks, making Just-in-Time and Just Enough access controls essential. The alignment of Apono's vision with our aim to deliver cutting-edge cloud security solutions enhances our capacity to effectively guide clients through these modern access management challenges."

Rom Carmel, the CEO and co-founder of Apono, remarked, "The launch of our Partner Program signifies more than mere expansion; it addresses the shifting security requirements of the cloud-native landscape. We believe that securing today's dynamic environments necessitates a refreshing approach, and our partners will play a vital role in introducing these innovative solutions to a wider audience. Together, we are not just securing access; we're reshaping what's achievable in cloud security."

A Comprehensive Approach to Cloud Security

The Apono Partner Program is meticulously designed to enable the global ecosystem of channel partners, technology alliances, and strategic partners to empower clients to adopt just-in-time (JIT) access seamlessly. Key features of the program include:

• - Tiered Benefits and Incentives: Structured support for partners at every stage, including deal protection, volume incentives, and rewards for partner-sourced leads.
• - Sales and Technical Enablement: Personalized onboarding experiences, hands-on labs, and certification pathways tailored for sales engineers, DevOps consultants, and cloud architects.
• - Marketing Co-GTM Support: Generous MDF allocations, campaign kits, early access to content, and dedicated marketing resources for partners.
• - Technology Ecosystem Access: Priority access to Apono APIs, SDKs, and partnership in integration roadmaps with major platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Snowflake, and MongoDB.

With the Apono Partner Program, partners can effectively integrate Apono's solutions into their offerings, allowing customers to automate privilege elevation, manage time-sensitive access, and implement context-aware approvals without manual intervention or ticketing delays.

The Apono Partner Program is now open for qualified partners worldwide. Interested parties can apply or learn more by visiting Apono's Partner Page. Apono will also exhibit at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas from August 2nd to 7th, offering prospective partners more information at booth #5919 in the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
