Zenarmor Inc., a provider of secure access and network security via a single-app, single-stack, single-pass architecture, has launched its global SASE channel partner program. The program is designed to enable MSPs, MSSPs, ISPs and security-focused partners to deliver, operate and monetize SASE services without centralized cloud PoPs, service chaining or architectural lock-in, the company said.
The new program formalizes Zenarmor’s distributed SASE go-to-market model and enables partners to deliver omnipresent security that follows users, applications and data across on-premises, cloud, edge and remote environments using the company’s SASE platform that runs natively wherever users and applications operate. It’s centrally managed across customers through Zenconsole, and partners deploy Zenarmor SASE on customer-owned or partner-managed infrastructure, officials said.
Zenarmor’s approach is different from how SASE is typically delivered through the channel, officials said, because most SASE partner programs are built around centralized cloud inspection, vendor-owned PoPs, proxy-based architectures, and service chaining across multiple security services.
“Zenarmor’s channel program introduces a distributed, partner-operated SASE delivery model where security enforcement happens at or near the traffic source, partners retain operational control, and customers avoid unnecessary latency, privacy risks and vendor dependency,” the company said. “This is especially significant for distributed and hybrid workforces, latency-sensitive applications, regulated industries and regions with strict data residency requirements, and MSPs and MSSPs building differentiated managed security services.”
The program enables partners to deliver SASE functionality including zero trust access, secure internet access and inline inspection without routing traffic through centralized PoPs, resulting in lower latency, improved user experience and consistent security enforcement, officials said. The SASE deploys quickly as a single application across on-premises, cloud and edge, including network edges, gateways and endpoint devices.
It’s designed so partners can onboard customers quickly without forklift upgrades, complex service chaining or multi-vendor orchestration, the company said. In addition, since traffic inspection and policy enforcement occur locally, Zenarmor enables customers and partners to meet privacy, data residency and compliance requirements. Sensitive traffic doesn’t need to leave the country, region or customer-controlled environment to be secured.
“For too long, SASE has been synonymous with centralized cloud inspection and vendor-controlled infrastructure,” said Murat Balaban, founder and CEO of Zenarmor. “We built Zenarmor differently. Our architecture was designed from day one to enforce security wherever users and applications operate, without forcing traffic through external PoPs or service chains. This new channel program aligns our go-to-market with that architectural reality. It empowers partners to deliver the entire SASE stack as a distributed, high-performance service they control. Partners are no longer reselling someone else’s cloud, they are operating their own modern, omnipresent SASE infrastructure.”
