Veracode Launches Enhanced Velocity™ Partner Program and Unveils Technical Certification Program

Global Program Offers Rewards and Benefits that Strengthen Partners’ Ability to Provide High-Value Solutions to Customers

Veracode, a global leader in application risk management, today announced the launch of its enhanced Veracode® Velocity™ Partner Program. The program enables new collaboration opportunities, empowering partners with innovative and comprehensive application and cloud risk management solutions across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC. The expanded program introduces a simplified approach to working with resellers and value-added distributors.

Chris Peterson, Vice President of Global Channels at Veracode, emphasized the importance of the new program, saying, "The software security industry is experiencing a massive shift, with the explosion of AI accelerating global efforts to secure software. This is changing the way many partners do business as they require even more advanced industry-wide technical capabilities. With the launch of our enhanced global partner program, we are setting a new standard for collaboration in the software security industry.”

Through the Velocity™ program, partners can more easily support their customers to build and scale secure software from code to cloud with the Veracode application risk management platform. Partners can significantly enhance their security service offerings with AI-powered remediation, actionable visibility of exploitable flaws, and easy onboarding and integration with their DevSecOps tech stack. The company’s recent acquisition of Longbow Security also broadens Veracode’s market reach through its ecosystem of strategic security providers.

The Veracode® Velocity™ Partner Program has a multitiered structure tailored to various levels of engagement and investment. Benefits include early access to Veracode products, invitations to Veracode Technical Summits and Partner Technical Advisory Council membership, participation in thought leadership programs, revenue acceleration programs, and marketing investment.

As part of the Velocity™ program, Veracode has also unveiled its enhanced Partner Technical Certification Program. This initiative provides partners with technical certification across four progressive levels, retires any requirement for Continuing Professional Education, and builds visibility of expertise with Credly badges. These new certifications will help drive partners’ services and sales.

Game-Changing Impact

Veracode's new partner program is now active, with several partners already experiencing the benefits of enhanced collaboration and support.

"Our team is very excited about the enhancements to Veracode's Partner Program,” said Michelle Jones, Senior Manager of Strategic Alliances at GuidePoint Security. “The clarity and simplicity of the program allows us to focus more on delivering value and less on navigating complexities. Through our strategic partnership, we can better serve our customers and drive significant advancements in application risk management."
