How WatchGuard’s Program Works

Our WatchGuardONE Channel Partner Program applies to resellers of WatchGuard products and services, regardless of how you choose to address your customers' security needs.

WatchGuardONE Offers Three Levels of Participation

Silver, Gold, and Platinum – with each level unlocking greater discounts and rebates, priority support, cooperative marketing funds, deal registration, exclusive tools and resources, and much more.

Grow Your Benefits As You Grow Your Business

WatchGuardONE is a true value-based partner program. The more training that you and your employees achieve, the more we reward your efforts. Your level of participation is solely based on the level of knowledge-based investments in your WatchGuard business. Sales performance alone will never cause a change of level.
