Strategic Partnerships
The platforms, channels, and research partners behind our work.
Every partnership on this page is active, certified, and operated by engineers we employ not subcontracted. You get the products, the deployment expertise, and a single team accountable for the outcome, backed by university research collaborations that keep our practice ahead of the threat curve.

Our standard
How we choose who we work with.
We turn down more partnerships than we accept. Every vendor on this page meets four criteria before we sign an agreement, list them publicly, or recommend them to a client.
Market leadership
Recognized Leader in their category by Gartner, Forrester, or independent industry analysts, verified annually.
Engineering depth
Minimum two vendor-certified engineers on staff before a partnership is listed or actively sold.
Operational maturity
Round-the-clock vendor support, named technical account management, and a defined escalation path.
Production overlap
We use the platform inside our own managed services. We do not sell what we have not run.
The partner program
Partnering with Hoplon InfoSec.
Our partner network extends our reach into industries and regions we cannot cover alone, and it gives clients direct access to the security platforms they need from vendors they already recognize.
When you partner with Hoplon InfoSec, you are working with a delivery firm that holds named accreditations, employs the engineers, owns the SOC, and signs one accountable contract per client. Most of our customers buy multiple products from us over time, which means partners build durable revenue rather than one-off transactions.
- StrategicHighest
Co-managed roadmaps, direct product engineering relationships, and joint executive briefings. We invest in these platforms across our entire managed customer base.
- PlatinumTier 1
Highest commercial accreditation with vendor-funded engineering enablement, dedicated technical account management, and priority support escalation paths.
- GoldTier 2
Multi-engineer certifications, deal registration discounts passed through to the client, and a direct vendor escalation path for production incidents.
- AuthorizedTier 3
Verified delivery with trained staff. Used where a platform fits a specific requirement rather than a strategic posture across the broader client base.
What you get
Six commitments, written into
every engagement.
Buying security products through a partner only matters if the partner adds something the vendor cannot give you directly. These are the specific things we contract for.
Deal registration discounts
Passed through directly to you. We share our partner-tier pricing rather than absorbing the margin.
Vendor-certified engineers
Every deployment is delivered by a named, certified engineer on our payroll. No silent subcontracting.
One contract, one invoice
A single accountable agreement across products, licenses, deployment, and ongoing support.
Direct vendor escalation
When standard support stalls, we open paths to vendor engineering relationships we maintain year-round.
Roadmap visibility
Early access to features, beta programs, and partner-only previews surfaced before they reach the public.
Independent advice
When a different vendor is a better fit, we will tell you. Our reputation depends on the recommendation outliving the deal.

Distribution channel
Our primary distribution partner.
Behind most of the technology partnerships above is a single authorized channel relationship. That gives our clients faster fulfillment, predictable renewals, and one accountable backbone behind every license we deliver.
Ingram Micro
Research & Academic
University partnerships that keep us ahead.
Our research collaborations are not logo placements they are working relationships with active joint programs, internship pipelines, and applied research outputs that feed directly into how we defend our customers.
Purdue University
Joint research collaboration with Purdue on applied detection engineering, adversary simulation, and emerging defensive techniques. Active student capstone and internship pipelines bring research-grade insight into our delivery practice and our customers' production environments.
Northern Illinois University
Research partnership with Northern Illinois University focused on graduate-level cybersecurity workforce development and applied research in incident response. Joint coursework, internship pipelines, and faculty advisory feed both our delivery practice and the broader regional security talent pool.
Proof, not promises
How you can verify what we say.
The strongest partnership signals are the ones a prospect can check before signing. These are the commitments we make in writing, back with documentation, and stand behind for the full term of every engagement.
Independently audited
Our information security management is ISO 27001 certified and audited annually by an accredited external body. The audit report and statement of applicability are available under NDA before contract signing not as a marketing claim, but as a document you can review.
Audit documents available under NDANamed accountability
Every engagement carries a named lead engineer and a named account executive on the signed statement of work. All technical delivery is performed by employees on our payroll. We do not silently subcontract, and we do not hand off accounts after the sale closes.
Names listed in every signed SOWFramework-aligned delivery
Our work maps to published industry frameworks MITRE ATT&CK for detection engineering, NIST CSF for assessments, and vendor reference architectures for every deployment. You can audit our methodology against any of these documents, not against an internal playbook we will not show you.
