Kaspersky Lab Adds MSP Partner Program

Kaspersky Lab has launched a partner program 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 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.

Kaspersky Lab’s offering include products and technologies that will enable MSP partners to provide remote security monitoring, managed security, virtualization security and mobile device security and management.

Participation in the program also includes:

  • 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
  • Extended sales and marketing materials

MSPs will have the opportunity to choose between cloud and on-premises models to provide greater flexibility of IT security services for their customers. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, suitable for smaller MSP businesses, allows MSP partners to manage customer infrastructure from the cloud using a multi-tenant cloud console. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Basic and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization add the ability to use a multi-tenant on-premises solution managed by Kaspersky Security Center – scaling to the largest MSP environments. Kaspersky Security for Mail Server and Managed Service Agreement are also part of the MSP offering.

“In January, we touched on our commitment to focus on MSPs this year and now we are excited to reveal what we have to offer our valued partners,” said Michael Canavan, SVP, B2B sales, Kaspersky Lab North America. “Kaspersky Lab’s MSP program was launched to provide more opportunity to partners – especially those that are VARs who are looking for ways to grow their business and migrate to managed service offerings in cybersecurity. Our program provides the necessary training, resources and access to cutting-edge security solutions to make it possible for MSP partners to completely secure the customer infrastructure.”

“We welcome the introduction of Kaspersky Lab’s new MSP-dedicated partner program,” said Charles Weaver, CEO and co-founder of the MSPAlliance. “The rising importance of cybersecurity throughout the world is one of the biggest challenges facing managed services providers today. We look forward to Kaspersky Labs’ active participation in promoting managed security services and hope that its expertise will contribute to the development of the market.”
