Fortra has launched Fortra Protect, a global partner program designed to streamline how resellers and distributors engage with its cybersecurity portfolio. Announced at the 2025 Fortra EMEA Partner Summit, the program reinforces the company’s channel-first approach while offering clear incentives and structured support for partners.

The launch closely follows Fortra’s acquisition of Lookout’s Cloud Security business—adding a full Security Service Edge (SSE) offering, including CASB, ZTNA, SWG, and DSPM capabilities. With this move, Fortra expanded its ability to help enterprises classify and protect sensitive data across hybrid cloud environments, addressing both regulatory pressure and operational complexity.

Now, at the core of Fortra Protect is a guaranteed margin model—giving partners a more predictable way to plan and scale their business. By simplifying how partners access incentives and pricing, Fortra is removing friction from the sales process and enabling faster deal execution across its full stack of cybersecurity offerings.

Partners gain access to the company’s offensive and defensive tools across the attack chain—from threat intel and vulnerability management to detection, response, and data protection. The program is built to support solution alignment in complex enterprise environments, where unified security strategies are increasingly in demand.

Fortra Protect also delivers practical support: certifications, training, co-selling resources, and marketing tools aimed at reducing ramp time for new partners while helping existing ones expand into adjacent solution areas. The goal is to equip partners with what they need to win and retain customers at scale.

The structure may be new, but the intent is consistent: deeper partner alignment, operational clarity, and joint execution. With Fortra Protect, the company is offering partners a framework to grow in sync with market needs—without added complexity.
