What’s new for partners in 2026
This year, we are thrilled to introduce specialization tracks for our partners. Specializations are designed to help our partners deepen their expertise in specific Wasabi products and use cases. They serve as “add-ons” to our existing sales and tech certification program, becoming available once a partner completes the corresponding certification.

Partners who complete a Specialization Learning Track and pass the quiz will earn a Wasabi Specialist Badge to showcase their expertise. The Data Migration Sales Specialization, Video Surveillance Sales Specialization, and Cyber Resilience Sales Specialization are available now,
