Rapid7 has been honored by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a 5-Star Award in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.

Recognition of Rapid7’s continued commitment to channel

The 5-Star Award is an elite recognition given to companies that have built their partner programs on the key elements needed to nurture lasting, profitable, and successful channel partnerships

When evaluating potential collaborations with IT vendors, Partners must carefully consider the comprehensive support and resources offered through vendors' partner programs. Key program components, including financial incentives, sales and marketing support, training and certification, and technical assistance – can significantly distinguish vendors such as Rapid7. These elements are instrumental in enhancing the long-term growth and profitability of their partnerships.

For the 2025 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication. Rapid7 acknowledges the significance of these critical program features and is pleased to have integrated all of these elements into the 2025 PACT program.

Aligned with our recent program launch

This prestigious recognition closely follows the introduction of the enhanced 2025 PACT Partner Program. Rapid7 recognizes that in today's increasingly complex threat landscape, partners face mounting pressure to have access to the tools, training, and resources necessary to meet the expanding security demands of their clients. Rapid7 is strategically positioned to fulfill these essential partner needs, having launched the revitalized Partner Program PACT 2025. This comprehensive program is designed to represent and support our expanding community of partners – encompassing diverse business models – all unified under a cohesive framework with competitive benefits and partnership support.

Being featured in the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation, and supporting mutual success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers.
