Phishing remains one of the biggest ways malicious actors breach networks, according to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report. The volume of AI-powered phishing attacks is increasing by the minute, and IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report finds that 16% of breaches now involve attackers using AI tools, most often to write the phishing email itself. For network and email providers — the distribution networks used by malicious actors to reach their targets — this creates a new level of pressure to keep up with rising network abuse.

What we are seeing is that inbound and outbound abuse are often treated as two separate jobs, and so the challenges experienced by network and email providers aren’t only met from external forces. The mail team often tunes filters against threats arriving from outside, while the abuse desk works through complaints about traffic leaving from inside. Both teams see the same attack infrastructure from opposite ends, but their tooling rarely connects the dots.

With Abusix, customers close that internal gap and strengthen their external defenses. Abusix Mail sits at your perimeter, blocking abusive IPs, domains, and URLs before they reach your hosted mailboxes. Abusix Ops works within your network, correlating abuse reports with system logs to identify the responsible account and then automatically acting on it. Both run on unique empirical threat intelligence, and together, they form a powerful response to the increase in attacks at your edge.

“Nearly every phishing attack travels through mail infrastructure offered by a service provider before it reaches anyone’s inbox, and those operators know it,” said Tobias Knecht, Founder and CEO of Abusix. “That is a problem our partners can sell into today, because Abusix Mail blocks those threats at the edge and Abusix Ops automates the abuse handling behind them. Partners bring the customer relationships and the local reach. We bring technology with proven demand in this market, so the commercial opportunity is there from the first conversation.”

Global response needed to fend off rapidly spreading network abuse.

Today, we are announcing our Abusix Frontline partner program. This partner program is launching with two tiers, Authorized and Advanced, for resellers, system integrators, technology partners, and distributors building their business around email security, threat intelligence, and network abuse management.

The program ran as a pilot over the summer, and founding partners are already registering opportunities and generating revenue. Beyond deal margins, Abusix is investing directly in partner growth, with incentives for pipeline creation, sales performance, larger opportunities, and competitive displacement.

“We’ve built this program around what makes a partner want to invest their time and resources in growing with Abusix,” said Jasper Lounio, Head of Channel at Abusix. “That means strong margins, protecting those margins when customers renew, and crediting the work that goes into creating pipeline, not just the final transaction. We want partners to know that when they invest in building a business with us, we’re investing alongside them.”

“What we value about working with the Abusix Frontline program is the independence it gives us,” said Florent Manens, CEO and Founder at Beezim, a pilot partner. “We can register an opportunity, create a quote, and progress the deal ourselves, while still having direct access to the Abusix team when we need support. The service also helps us to provide the best quality filtering for our customers. Having everything in one place makes collaboration simple and lets us focus on our customers and growing the business.”

With Abusix Frontline, our partners can gain market share in global markets where demand for this solution is growing. This opens a huge revenue opportunity for partners who join us now, and it’s a growth path we can build together.

With markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific facing heightened vulnerability to threat actors and AI-powered phishing operations, demand is building fast. We are calling on partners worldwide to answer the call and join us in becoming relentless in the pursuit of making the internet safer for everyone.

What partners can expect now and next

The program combines deal registration, margin protection, pipeline incentives, training, and certifications with a dedicated partner portal that covers an opportunity from registration through renewal. Several partner enablement offers are fully developed and ready, such as:

• The Frontline Partner Portal

Partners register opportunities, build quotes, and progress eligible deals independently, with incentives, renewals, certifications, and training all in one place. Partners can also request direct support for a specific opportunity, with in-app and email notifications that connect them to the Abusix team when they need it.

• Margin Protection

Renewal parity gives partners the same percentage margin on qualifying renewals as on the initial sale, and Abusix has committed to no channel conflict on registered opportunities or accounts.

• Meet Abbie – your dedicated Partner AI assistant

Partners get exclusive access to Abbie, a dedicated AI assistant designed to streamline enablement. Abbie is built on Abusix’s internal intelligence base and provides recommendations on positioning, outreach, and finding the right page in the technical documentation, in natural conversation and across multiple languages.
