• New Next-Generation Security Innovator Infographic: Success as a channel partner is no longer about being a solution provider, combining hardware, software and services to address a customer’s specific security need. Success today is about being a next-generation security innovator, an expert at enhancing an integrated and automated security platform that empowers innovation to deliver business gains to our mutual customers.

• Secure Up Endpoint Partner Promotion: We are rewarding partner sales reps for creating and closing new endpoint business. Promotional details can be found on the Partner Portal.

• Why Partner with Palo Alto Networks: Don’t take our word for it, this infographic summarizes the findings of the more than 800 partners from around the world who responded to our 2017 Partner Satisfaction Survey.

• Blog of the Week: With a new fiscal year comes new ideas. Collectively Palo Alto Networks posts several blogs a week. Each week we will pick the one we like best. This week’s choice: Top 10 Considerations for Securing Public Cloud Workloads. What we liked is the timeliness of this blog. The move to the cloud is happening at a rapid pace and helping you, our partners, understand what needs to be considered from a security perspective is vital to our success. Comment on this blog to let us know what you thought of our selection.
