Sublime Security has officially launched its new channel partner program, marking a strategic shift to operate as a fully channel-led organization. With this move, the company aims to significantly expand the reach of its agentic email security platform while strengthening collaboration with trusted partners. Moreover, this initiative reflects a long-term investment in building a scalable and high-performing partner ecosystem, supported by enhanced enablement resources, strong recurring margins, and dedicated leadership.

To lead this transformation, Sublime Security has appointed Timm Hoyt as VP of Worldwide Partners & Alliances. Notably, Hoyt brings extensive experience from his previous roles at Sumo Logic, Druva, and PagerDuty, where he successfully drove partner-led growth strategies. Now, he is focused on building a relationship-driven and partner-centric program that prioritizes mutual success.

“Email threats are evolving at machine-speed and our customers need a security solution that prioritizes speed, transparency, and organization-specific protection which traditional email security vendors cannot provide,” said Hoyt. “Customers are frustrated with legacy secure email gateways that are complex, expensive, and ineffective against modern phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and socially-engineered attacks. Partners are a critical component in alleviating those burdens, and our channel program provides partners with the education, training, and support they need to exceed customer demands.”

At the core of this program lies a partner-first go-to-market strategy. Specifically, Sublime aligns its sales teams to support partners rather than compete with them, ensuring a collaborative selling environment. In addition, the company offers predictable and healthy recurring margins, deal protection, and performance-based incentives designed to enhance partner profitability.

Furthermore, Sublime has invested in dedicated partner and alliances leadership, along with specialized resources across sales, engineering, marketing, and enablement teams. These efforts are complemented by enhanced technical training programs, including accreditation, hands-on learning, and sales playbooks, which help partners accelerate onboarding and performance.

Equally important, the company is strengthening co-marketing and demand generation initiatives. Through joint campaigns and content support, partners can effectively build pipelines and stand out in the competitive cybersecurity landscape.

“Email continues to be one of the most common and impactful entry points for cyberattacks, and organizations are looking for more modern approaches to protecting their users and data,” said Mark Thornberry, SVP Partnerships at GuidePoint Security. “We’re excited to work with Sublime Security as they expand their channel program and bring their innovative approach to email security to more organizations. Programs that invest in partner enablement and collaboration ultimately help customers deploy stronger defenses against evolving threats.”

In addition, Hoyt emphasized the importance of selecting the right partners. “We look for partners who truly understand our differentiators, have a firm grasp of the cybersecurity landscape, have credibility in bringing new vendors to market, and who absolutely believe that incumbent email security providers cannot keep up with modern attacks,” added Hoyt. “We’re committed to working with strategic partners who can grow with us and where we’ll provide mutual benefit.”

This launch follows a period of strong momentum for Sublime Security. Previously, the company secured $150 million in Series C funding to advance its agentic AI capabilities. During 2025, it also introduced two AI-powered solutions Autonomous Security Analyst (ASA) and Autonomous Detection Engineer (ADÉ) which automate threat detection and response, thereby reducing manual workloads and accelerating defense deployment.

Industry partners have also expressed strong confidence in the initiative.

“Security teams are under tremendous pressure to stop increasingly targeted email attacks without adding operational burden. Email is still by far the number one attack vector,” said Alpesh Shah, VP, Security Strategic Alliances at Myriad360. “Sublime Security stands out because it brings automation, transparency, and adaptability to a category long dominated by legacy approaches. Their new channel partner program reinforces a clear commitment to building with partners, and we’re excited to collaborate on bringing this innovative platform to market.”

“As AI accelerates the sophistication of phishing and social-engineering attacks, organisations need email security that can adapt just as quickly. That’s why our partnership with Sublime Security is so exciting,” said Luke Kiernan, Head of Cyber Security at Bytes Software Services. “The transparency of the platform and the speed at which new protections can be deployed stand out. Their partner-first approach and investment in enablement make it clear they see partners as a true extension of their business. We’re thrilled to bring this next generation of email security to our customers.”

Overall, Sublime Security’s partner-first strategy positions the company to scale its innovation while empowering partners to deliver stronger, faster, and more adaptive email security solutions.
