Flare Launches Ignite Partner Program for MSSPs and Resellers 2026

Flare launches Ignite, a global partner program purpose-built for MSSPs and resellers to grow their cyber threat intelligence services.

Organizations today face a rising tide of exposed credentials, stealer logs, ransomware campaigns, and external threats that bypass the perimeter long before an attack is detected. To meet this demand, MSSPs and resellers need proactive threat monitoring services backed by strong vendor enablement. Flare, the leader in identity-first Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), addresses this gap with Ignite by Flare, a structured global partner program that provides the resources, incentives, and go-to-market support needed to build differentiated CTI services.

What was announced

On September 8, 2026, Flare unveiled Ignite by Flare, a formal partner framework designed to accelerate growth for managed security service providers and resellers. The program introduces a five-tier model — Registered, Growth, Scale, Select, and Premier — that rewards partners based on partner-sourced annual recurring revenue and engagement.

Ignite establishes deal registration, certifications, marketing development funds (MDF), business development support, and joint go-to-market planning. A key differentiator is Flare's investment in joint research, giving eligible partners access to co-branded reports developed with Flare Research.

Partners play a critical role in helping organizations understand and reduce their exposure to cyber threats. With Ignite, we are making a significant investment in the partner community by providing a clear path to growth, meaningful incentives, and the resources needed to build successful services and security practices around Flare.

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs, and procurement leaders selecting managed security partners, the Ignite program signals a maturing CTI ecosystem. Threat actors begin with reconnaissance, leaked credentials, and exposed data long before reaching the perimeter, making external exposure management a critical layer of defense-in-depth. Partners equipped with Flare's multi-tenant platform can deliver measurable outcomes, faster onboarding, and proprietary threat research that strengthens customer conversations.

Flare's external exposure management is now a critical layer of defense-in-depth across our MSP/MSSP portfolio, and client adoption has been rapid — a direct result of close collaboration between Flare and Netrix Global.
