Expel’s partner program and inaugural awards
Last week, we had the pleasure of announcing our 2025 Partner of the Year Awards. These winners are spectacular partners to Expel and are dedicated to supporting, protecting, and delivering value to customers while championing Expel’s values.
This program is mission-critical to what we’re doing here at Expel, which is why we’re highlighting our partners with these awards. Our partner program helps us remain customer-obsessed, by enabling partners with resources and dedicated support to better serve our customers, while increasing their revenue to ensure mutual success. Who doesn’t love a win-win?
Our partners—and customers—benefit from our best-in-class security operations platform, Expel Workbench™, along with people, technology, and expertise to protect environments across endpoints, cloud, Kubernetes, SaaS, network, SIEM, email, identity, and more.
Here’s what Alex Glass, VP of Global Channel & Alliances, had to say:
“Providing and implementing effective security strategies requires close collaboration between vendors and partners, all pulling towards the same goal. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our partners. This inaugural class of Partner of the Year Award winners have worked arm-in-arm with us to improve the security resilience of organizations around the world. We thank them today for everything they’ve done and we look forward to continued success in 2025 and beyond.”
