New Portal Serves an Expanding Technology Partner Program

Palo Alto Networks is proud to announce the launch of its new, interactive Technology Partner portal to provide an interactive and frictionless partner experience and provide customers with an easier way to find tech integrations.

The launch of the portal initiates a series of enhancements to the entire Technology Partner Program, which will happen over the course of the coming year, ranging from program enhancements, benefits, automation, as well as access to tools and resources aiding in the process of developing integrations with Palo Alto Networks.

Palo Alto Networks partners are driving the digital transformation in businesses across the globe, and our technology partners play an influential role in the adoption of Palo Alto Networks technology. Our goal is to enable automated, scalable, world-class network and cloud security for our customers and partners. The Technology Partner Program enhancements will allow us to reimagine how we enable technology partners, to address customers’ security pain points and to leverage the security assets they already have in place.

To realize this goal, we are launching a series of exciting and high-impact Technology Partner Program enhancements, starting with the launch of the brand new, interactive portal. The new portal gives Technology Partners easy access to information and tools that will enable them to more effectively engage with Palo Alto Networks, as well as enhance the overall customer experience.

Feature Highlights:

  • Technology Partner pages with detailed integration information
  • Improved Technology Partner directory
  • Enhanced product and integration search functionality
  • Streamlined Technology Partner application process and onboarding

"We are delighted to launch the new Palo Alto Networks Technology Partner portal,” said Tana Rosenblatt, vice president of Technology Partnerships for Palo Alto Networks. "This new portal is a big step to advancing our mission to be the partner of choice for customers.

A new partner directory makes it easy for our customers to find all of our Technology Partners and learn about our integrations in detail. More automation and features will make it easier for us to onboard new partners, help them manage their integrations, and it will be easier for partners to access learning tools and get answers to their questions. The new portal is just one of many technology partner program enhancements we’ll be making to ensure a frictionless experience for our partners, so stay tuned!"
