mcafee Offers partners new
revenue opportunity with EXPANDED managed service provider
program
New Program Addresses SMB Customer Demand for
Flexible Cloud-based and On-Premise Security
Services
India, July
26, 2012– McAfee today announced
its Managed Service Provider(MSP) program, providing partners with the tools,
training and resources to build a successful managed security services business.
Whether it is on premise or cloud based, McAfee provides a scalable and
consistent “pay-as-you-go” monthly subscription security services program that
addresses nearly any customer requirement, especially that of the small to
medium sized business.
“We are seeing
tremendous growth in the managed service market fuelled by customer demand for
reduced IT complexity and lower cost,” said Gavin Struthers, Senior Vice
President of worldwide channels at McAfee. “McAfee has been in the managed
services business for more than a decade. Our new MSP program leverages our
extensive managed services experience, and provides partners access to the
industry’s broadest portfolio of cloud-based and on-premise managed security
services via a globally consistent and scalable program.”
The McAfee Managed Service Provider program offers protection
for endpoints, servers/networks, virtual environments and mobile devices, in
addition to the industry’s broadest security SaaS portfolio, which can all be
managed centrally through either McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator™ or the McAfee SaaS
management console. The simplicity of centralized security management allows for
remote administration of McAfee software and SaaS solutions which meet the needs
of SMBs who often have limited resources.
SMB Growth Opportunity
According to AMI Partners, the worldwide market for security
solutions in the Small and Mid-sized business segment is about $5.1B growing at
a CAGR of about 9% annually. SMBs are in a unique
situation when it comes to defending themselves against the rising tide of cyber
threats that cover the business and technology landscape. They can’t afford
high-priced IT and security talent on site nor can they afford a breach that
threatens their very existence. SMBs require a partner that can manage their
security needs and offer flexible solutions and choice.
McAfee Security Alliance Partner Program
Evolution
The McAfee Managed Service Provider program is an expansion of
the McAfee Security Alliance Partner program and is a major step in the
development of a holistic partner ecosystem that addresses the diverse security
needs of today’s customers by offering three distinct program categories,
including resale, services and technology.
Availability
The McAfee Managed Service Provider program is available through
authorized distributors in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Nordics, UK,
and U.S. and will be expanded to other counties and distributors throughout
2012.
