Kaspersky Lab has launched a new partner programme in Africa, aimed at managed service providers (MSPs) that already offer security services or would like to add them to their current portfolio.
The program helps MSPs to address the growing demand for IT security services and enables them to attract new customers in the SMB markets, while satisfying existing customers looking to outsource all IT functions, including security, to a trusted third-party.
Riaan Badenhorst, MD of Kaspersky Lab Africa, says: “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.”
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.
Participation in the programme also guarantees special privileges and benefits for the MSPs themselves, including:
* Exclusive access to volume based pricing with a separate MSP price list;
* Monthly licensing;
* Product and security training and certification;
* Standard and premium technical support; and
* Extended sales and marketing materials.
