Partner with McAfee to deliver best-in-class, optimized security solutions to your customers. McAfee partners have the inside track on trending security issues, technologies, and products. With a flexible framework—based on customer buying preferences and partner business models—we help you build a differentiated, profitable security practice.
A program tailored for you
McAfee solution providers are reseller partners with one or more areas of expertise in McAfee-based solutions. As a solution provider, you can tailor the program to your interests and business needs. For example, you might take a sales approach or a technical go-to-market approach, with technology support, implementation, and/or services as a focus. As you invest more in the relationship through training and certification, you reap greater rewards and increased commitment from McAfee.
Registered Partners
As an entry-level program participant, Registered partners have the option of completing the solution competency curriculum to become authorized and transact more complex technologies. Partners at this level have access to baseline profitability programs and a range of online resources on the McAfee Partner Portal.
Gold Partners
Through investments in skills, competencies, and revenue growth, Gold partners ensure that customers receive high-quality solutions and services. Participation at this level provides access to an extended level of benefits.
Platinum Partners
This is the highest level attainable, and is achieved through a demonstrated commitment to customer satisfaction, competency, and revenue growth.
