English term or phrase: net security contributors
Countries that will receive invitations to join NATO will have had years of experience working with the Alliance as partners. Moreover, each will have benefited from several years of NATO-assisted defense reform. They will thus be net security contributors rather than mere consumers, making our Alliance even stronger.

zum Ausbau des Sicheheitsnetzes beitragen
Explanation:
Sicherheitsnetz ist ein feststehender Begriff

Any democratic European nation that meets NATO's criteria and is able to be a net contributor to the security of the whole should be admitted to the Alliance.

Jede europäische Nation, die den Grundsätzen der NATO gerecht wird und in der Lage ist, zum Sicherheitsnetz beizutragen, sollte aufgenommen werden.

Net contributor ist (ungefähr) Nettoeinzahler, ein sehr gebräuchlicher Begriff, der hier aber leider nicht hineinpasst.

Mir ist noch eine annehmbare wörtliche Lösung eingefallen, auch wenn ich eine freiere Übersetzung vorziehen würde:

...einen Nettobeitrag zur Sicherheit leistet, statt nur...
