For the 2026 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team assessed technology vendors based on the strength and breadth of their partner program offerings, including partner training and enablement, pre‑ and post‑sales support, marketing resources, technical assistance, and ongoing communication. The resulting guide provides solution providers with meaningful insight into partner programs designed to support sustained success in a rapidly evolving channel landscape.
“This 5-star recognition in the 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide underscores Stellar Cyber’s commitment to creating greater value for partner relationships,” said Jeff Hill, Global Senior Director, MSSPs and Service Providers for Stellar Cyber. “Since launching in April 2025, the Infinity Program has evolved to better support our partners’ continued growth and success, scaling to more than 300 members worldwide. We’ve simplified participation, optimized reward and incentive structures, and provided stronger pre- and post-sales training and support resources to help accelerate our partners’ business outcomes.”
Success as an MSSP requires flexibility, a diverse range of services, and real-time monitoring with continuous threat response — all while maintaining economic efficiency and profitability. The Infinity Global Partner Program is designed to meet all of these needs and more, helping MSSPs boost productivity, simplify security operations, and unlock high-margin revenue streams. The Infinity Partner Program provides turnkey resources that empower channel partners to leverage AI-powered solutions more effectively, with a particular focus on the Human Augmented Autonomous SOC. Stellar Cyber has introduced specialized enablement, training, and resources that demonstrate how AI can enhance threat detection and response, while keeping humans in the loop to provide context, judgment, and oversight.
“Being included in the 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide reflects how technology vendors are rethinking their partner programs to keep pace with a rapidly evolving channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “As solution providers navigate new customer demands, business models and technologies, this annual guide serves as a critical resource for identifying vendors that are investing in programs designed to drive long‑term growth and shared success. The guide delivers meaningful insight into what sets each partner program apart, helping solution providers make confident, strategic partnership decisions.”
