Prior deals with Checkmk, LogicMonitor, Fortinet, Liongard, and Seclore all focused on expanding tools available to resellers and MSPs. Price reactions have been modest, with a mix of small positive and negative moves, suggesting the market views these announcements as incremental channel enhancements rather than transformational shifts. Today’s Dashlane agreement fits this pattern of expanding security-focused vendor relationships.

In the last five partnership announcements, average next-day move was about 0.35%. Today’s 4.99% gain represents a stronger-than-usual reaction for this news type.
Recent partnership news shows Climb steadily layering security and observability vendors—Fortinet, Seclore, Liongard, LogicMonitor, Checkmk—building a broader channel portfolio over time.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement expands Climb’s North American cybersecurity portfolio by making Dashlane’s Omnix platform available across its reseller ecosystem. It continues a series of partnerships aimed at strengthening security offerings in the channel.

EATONTOWN, N.J., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Climb, an international specialty technology distributor and wholly owned subsidiary of Climb Global Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLMB) today announced a new North American distribution partnership with Dashlane, a leader in credential security. Through this partnership, Climb will expand access to Dashlane’s intelligent credential security platform, Omnix, for U.S. and Canadian partners, enabling them to address one of the most critical and persistent attack vectors facing modern organizations—stolen and compromised credentials.
“Our partnership with Climb further accelerates Dashlane’s evolution into a channel-centric business with partners as a key driver of our continued growth,” said John Bennett, Chief Executive Officer at Dashlane. “Climb’s vast partner network coupled with their deep security expertise will be a catalyst in making proactive credential security foundational to enterprise security programs and preventing credential-based breaches.”
With the partnership, Climb becomes Dashlane’s exclusive distributor for resellers, providing Dashlane a centralized distribution engine to scale its partner ecosystem and increase the velocity and efficiency of its channel business.
Traditional password management has been reliant on credential vault adoption, failing to keep up with how work is done in the modern enterprise and leaving critical gaps across corporate environments. Dashlane Omnix, which is now available to Climb’s extensive reseller ecosystem, expands beyond password management to proactively protect every employee login and prevent credential-based threats directly in user browsers, the front line of credential risk.
“Expanding our North American vendor ecosystem with Dashlane reflects Climb’s continued focus on building meaningful, growth-driven partnerships for the channel,” said Dale Foster, CEO of Climb. “Dashlane brings strong market momentum and a clear commitment to the partner community, and we’re excited to work together to help our partners create new opportunities and deliver greater value to their customers across the U.S. and Canada.”
