NEW YORK– May 4, 2026— SecurityScorecard, the global leader in threat-informed third-party risk management (TPRM), today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized Amanda Smith, Director of Public Sector Channel at SecurityScorecard, on the prestigious Women of the Channel list for 2026.
This annual CRN list celebrates women from vendors, distributors, solution providers and other channel-focused organizations who make a positive difference in the IT ecosystem. The CRN 2026 Women of the Channel honorees are innovative and strategic leaders committed to advancing channel excellence and supporting the success of their partners and customers.
Over the past year, Amanda led three initiatives that reshaped the company’s channel business and opened new ground in the public sector. She built the processes, enablement resources, and metrics that lifted partner-driven renewals. She then aligned go-to-market efforts across ServiceNow, Splunk, CrowdStrike, and Snowflake, positioning SecurityScorecard as the integration of choice for government agencies building best-of-breed technology stacks. Her work produced scalable channel programs, deeper strategic partnerships, and quantifiable business results across the federal and state markets.
“It’s a privilege to celebrate the remarkable achievements of these women who are driving meaningful change across the IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP of U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. “Each honoree has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to bold, innovative strategies that fuel transformation, growth, and success for their organizations and the broader channel. We’re proud to recognize their impact and look forward to seeing how they continue to shape the future of our industry.”
“I am truly honored to receive this award and deeply grateful for the recognition,” said Amanda Smith, Director of Public Sector Channel at SecurityScorecard. “None of this would have been possible without the incredible team at SecurityScorecard, whose unwavering support, collaboration, and shared commitment to excellence have been the foundation of everything we’ve accomplished together. They push me to think bigger, move faster, and deliver greater impact for our partners every single day. This award belongs to all of us.”
