Kaspersky Lab has unveiled
a partner programme on the continent of Africa, aimed at managed service
providers (MSPs) that already offer security services or would like to add them
to their current portfolio, reports ITRealms.
The programme, ITRealms
gathered would help MSPs to address the growing demand for IT security services
and enables them to attract new customers in the Small and Medium Business (SMB)
markets, while satisfying existing customers looking to outsource all IT
functions, including security, to a trusted third-party.
Managing Director, Kaspersky Lab Africa, Riaan Badenhorst, said that “Kaspersky
Lab’s MSP Program was created specifically to meet the needs of partners who
want to grow their managed service offerings in cybersecurity – without
additional administrative overheads or resources. The program is based on the
world’s most tested, most awarded multi-layered security solutions. It allows
MSP partners to secure the complete customer infrastructure, from mobile
devices and desktops to physical and virtual servers, with our comprehensive
portfolio that can be delivered both on-premises or from the cloud.”
Also, First
Distribution, operating across Africa, with offices in South Africa, Kenya
and Nigeria, recently resolved to join the Kaspersky Lab’s programme, at their
First for Cloud Roadshow in Johannesburg, South Africa, which was attended by
over 100 partners, resellers and vendors.
Managing Director, First Distribution, Debbie Abrahall, said
that with Kaspersky Lab’s new programme they see great opportunities for
resellers and MSPs.
“We believe that with this, everybody in the market,
including SMB clients, will benefit from the high-quality cybersecurity
proposals that allow remote management and make IT security more affordable”
Abrahall said.
ITRealms reports that the specialised
programme is designed for MSP partners that want to enhance and grow their
reputation and expertise, achieve maximum margin at minimum risk, and ensure
that their customers’ data and infrastructure are kept safe. Kaspersky Lab’s
offering includes products and technologies that will enable MSP partners to
provide new security services to their customers, such as remote security
monitoring, managed security, virtualization security and mobile device
security and management.
