McAfee Global SecurityAlliance™ Program

McAfee has a deep commitment to delivering competitive value for its partners.  Our comprehensive set of offerings, strong, recognizable brand, and focus on expanding the market for our products makes McAfee your security partner of choice.

Core Performance Philosophy

The McAfee Security Alliance program is founded on four core principles.  By applying these ideals to our decision-making process, we strive to bring programs to our partners that help build stronger, more successful businesses.  We never make a decision without first considering how it fits with these goals:

• Mutual profitability
• Optimal growth enablement
• Commitment-based solutions
• Unwavering dedication to our partners’ success

Program Designed with Our Partners in Mind

We value our partners as an extension of our team.  You help drive our industry growth, routes to market strategies, and, ultimately, our success.  Our program provides an extensive range of services, enablement offerings, and benefits to support the level of participation that works best for you.  We offer substantial incentives, rebates, and co-marketing tools, as well as training and certification to help accelerate your business and revenue growth.

Partnership Levels to Differentiate Your Business

The McAfee Security Alliance program has three partnership levels to provide flexibility to meet the needs of your busines.  Progressive investment in the relationship through offerings such as training and certification reap reciprocal rewards and increased commitment from McAfee to our partnership.
