Intezer Launches AI Partner Program to Reshape SOC Operations

NEW YORK, NY – May 19, 2026 – By Tyler Nguyen

Cybersecurity firm Intezer today announced the launch of its global channel initiative, the Intezer Amplify Partner Program, signaling a significant push to scale its AI-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) platform through a partner-first ecosystem. The program aims to equip managed security service providers (MSSPs), resellers, and other partners with the tools to move beyond traditional security models and address the enterprise market's accelerating demand for AI-driven security automation.

The launch comes as security teams globally grapple with a dual crisis: an overwhelming flood of security alerts and a persistent cybersecurity talent gap, now estimated at 3.5 million unfilled positions worldwide. Intezer's strategy hinges on empowering its partners to offer a solution that directly tackles these challenges, leveraging its ForensicAI™ platform to automate the complex, time-consuming work of alert investigation.

A New Playbook for Channel Profitability

At its core, the Amplify Partner Program is designed to be, in the words of the company, "straightforward, profitable, and aligned with how security operations are changing." Intezer is making a clear commitment to the channel by building a program focused on partner success, a move industry veterans see as crucial for capturing market share in a crowded field.

The program's structure is built on principles that partners consistently prioritize: ease of engagement, strong margin opportunities, and robust deal protection for both partner-initiated and Intezer-referred leads. To facilitate this, a comprehensive partner portal is scheduled to go live in June 2026, providing partners with access to deal registration, sales and technical collateral, and tools for running incentive programs. This foundation is intended to allow partners to engage, transact, and scale their services from day one.

“Partners are looking for solutions that actually move the needle for their customers and their own businesses,” said Mark Daggett, Intezer's new vice president of global channels. “We built this program to be straightforward, profitable, and aligned with how security operations are changing. When you pair that with a platform that delivers measurable outcomes for customers, it becomes a very compelling offering.”

Early testimonials suggest the strategy is resonating with its intended audience. Jon Mendoza, CISO at Technologent, noted the platform's impact on his team's focus. “Intezer gave us a way to autonomously triage every alert with the depth of a senior analyst — which means our team spends time on the threats that matter and our clients see faster, more consistent outcomes. It’s the foundation of how Technologent delivers SOC operations today,” he stated.

Similarly, Trevor Smith, president at Brite, highlighted the market shift, stating, “The market is moving rapidly toward AI-driven security operations and customers need trusted partners to operationalize these technologies effectively... Intezer’s channel program provides an avenue to deliver these services creating long term growth of our business.”

The Daggett Effect: A Veteran's Next Act

A significant part of the industry's focus will be on the program's leadership. Intezer has tapped Mark Daggett, a 25-year channel veteran, to build and lead the initiative. Daggett's track record brings immediate credibility and high expectations.

Prior to joining Intezer, Daggett was instrumental in building the global channel program at cybersecurity asset management firm Axonius. During his tenure, he more than doubled the number of partners, quadrupled the size of his channel team, and was credited with driving over 75% of the company's new annual recurring revenue. His efforts earned him recognition as a CRN Channel Chief and helped Axonius achieve explosive growth, scaling to nearly $200 million in ARR. His experience also includes leadership roles at Cylance, where he helped relaunch its channel program ahead of its acquisition by BlackBerry.

Daggett's hiring is a clear signal of Intezer's ambitions. Building a successful channel is less about technology and more about trust, predictability, and profitability—areas where an experienced leader is invaluable. He is joined by a seasoned team, including Claudia Slane and Kevin Pistorius, who bring decades of combined experience in channel development and cybersecurity alliances. Together, they are tasked with establishing a high-impact, partner-first motion while expanding key technology alliances and marketplace integrations.

Beyond Alert Fatigue: The Power of ForensicAI™

The promise of the Amplify program is ultimately powered by Intezer's underlying technology, ForensicAI™. The platform is engineered to solve one of the most persistent problems in modern security operations: the overwhelming volume of alerts that bury analysts and lead to missed threats.

Intezer’s platform claims to autonomously triage 100% of incoming alerts—from endpoints, cloud, identity, and email—with a median investigation time of under one minute. The company reports that its forensic-grade analysis is so accurate that less than 2% of all alerts require escalation for human review. This level of automation promises to free up highly skilled security analysts from the monotonous Tier-1 investigation work and allow them to focus on genuine, complex threats.

The key differentiator is how the platform achieves this. While many security tools use AI based on behavioral analysis or keyword matching, Intezer employs a proprietary technique called "Genetic Analysis." This method dissects software and files at the binary code level, identifying and classifying snippets of reused code. By tracing this "code DNA," ForensicAI™ can quickly determine if an alert is related to a known malware family, a legitimate application, or something entirely new, providing an evidence-based verdict with what the company claims is approximately 98% accuracy.

This deep forensic investigation, traditionally the domain of elite reverse engineers, is now being democratized and applied at machine scale to every single alert, effectively closing the blind spots created when security teams are forced to ignore low-priority alerts. For partners, this technology provides the engine to build a highly efficient and effective managed security service that delivers tangible outcomes and a clear return on investment for customers.

Competing in a Crowded AI Security Arena

Intezer enters a fiercely competitive market where established giants and well-funded startups are all vying for channel attention with their own AI-powered security platforms. Competitors like CrowdStrike, with its "Accelerate" program, and SentinelOne, with its "Global PartnerOne Program," have already built extensive and sophisticated channel networks. Exabeam also recently revamped its "APEX Partner Program" with a focus on competency-based tiering and partner feedback.

To succeed, Intezer must carve out a unique space. Its strategy appears to be a combination of Daggett's proven channel-building expertise and a technological message focused on a specific, high-pain problem: the inefficiency of the alert triage process. By promising to automate the entire top of the security funnel with forensic-level detail, Intezer is offering partners a distinct value proposition that goes beyond simply augmenting human analysts to almost entirely replacing the need for them in initial investigation stages.

The company is taking a phased approach to its rollout, with initial partner recruitment efforts focused on North America before a planned expansion into EMEA later this year. This measured strategy will allow the team to refine its processes and ensure early partners are successful, building a strong foundation before scaling globally. As enterprises continue to seek relief from the relentless pressure of modern cyber threats, the synergy of advanced AI and a well-executed channel strategy may prove to be a powerful combination for growth.
