PRODATA Partners with Malwarebytes to Effectively Combat Regional Cyberthreats with Malwarebytes’ Next-Generation Cybersecurity Platform

 

Malwarebytes™, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, has intensified its partnership with PRODATA, an established IT marketing and value-added distributor since 1992 across the African Continent and Europe, to bring industry-leading cloud-based security and cyber protection solutions to the African region. At a particularly crucial1 time for cybersecurity across Africa, PRODATA will become a go-to Malwarebytes distribution partner, to reduce the prevalence of cyber-attacks through access to easy-to-manage and affordable solutions.

The distribution agreement will allow regional Value-Added Resellers (VARs) to bolster their clients’ cybersecurity capabilities by leveraging the Malwarebytes Nebula cloud platform, to provide Incident Response, Endpoint Protection & Endpoint Detection and Response in one centralised cloud management portal.

Malwarebytes’ has recently expanded its Nebula platform with a new DNS Filtering add-on module to deliver a fast, flexible, and comprehensive Zero Trust solution for Nebula users. Earlier this year, Malwarebytes also launched a Vulnerability & Patch Management module to address software vulnerabilities, making Malwarebytes’ offering one of the simplest and most comprehensive end-to-end security platforms in the world.

“We are constantly looking to deliver the most effective and innovative Cyber Resiliency solutions to our network of reseller partners and enterprises across Africa and Europe and that have a proven track record of delivery,” said Jay Bradley, Managing Director, PRODATA. “We are excited to reignite and intensify our partnership with Malwarebytes and work together even more closely,” he added.

“PRODATA is the perfect partner to help bring our cloud-based security and cyber protection solutions to African VARs,” said Philip Walsh, Channel Accounts Sales Leader (APAC & EMEA) at Malwarebytes. “With the increasing threat of ransomware, Malwarebytes’ Endpoint Detection and Response solutions for workstations and servers, will enable PRODATA and their Reseller Community to better support organizations in managing endpoints and combatting malware at scale.”

Malwarebytes Signals ‘Channel-first’ Ethos in EMEA and APAC with Programme and Product Enhancements

 

Malwarebytes™, a global leader in real-time cyberprotection, is expanding its channel presence in EMEA with a new management team structure and offerings for the success of its channel partners.

Over the last year, Malwarebytes achieved 250% MSP partner growth as part of its move to rapidly grow the company’s MSP programme, and is enhancing its channel programme for similar VAR partner growth. A range of localized training and programme additions, including a new Partner Experience Centre (PXC), are now available to channel partners worldwide. The PXC provides partners with a 360-degree, digital-first online portal to evaluate potential cybersecurity challenges and business opportunities for customers deploying Malwarebytes solutions and determines the investment of time and budget required.

Advanced product briefings and training before public announcements, as well as channel-exclusive co-marketing materials and sales promotions, supports Malwarebytes channel partners in growing their businesses. As a result, partners and customers build mutual trust and can create a gameplan to maximize the full benefits from Malwarebytes’ market-leading solutions with rapid return-on-investment.

“Currently the majority of our licence sales in EMEA and APAC come through our VAR channel partners and we will continue to expand our partnership activities. By fundamentally focusing our sales efforts and resources, we are demonstrating that we are channel friendly and channel-first in EMEA and APAC,” said Philip Walsh, Channel Accounts Sales Leader, EMEA and APAC. “The rapid growth in our channel partner programme over the last year is just the beginning.”

Matthew Gleeson, Director of Sales, APAC, said, “We are redefining the way Malwarebytes goes to market in APAC. We want to be an unequivocal extension of partners’ teams and for partners to feel embedded within our team. While sometimes we directly engage with customers through our technical support or customer success teams, as we expand our partner programme all commercial opportunities will be passed directly to the partners themselves – we know that partners know their customers best.”

Malwarebytes already counts several household name channel partners across EMEA and APAC as customers, including Softcat in the UK, SoftwareOne in Germany, and Lafi in France, and is dedicated to collaborating with partners to bring maximum value to customers. In APAC, Malwarebytes counts The Executive Centre in Hong Kong and PETStock in New Zealand as customers.

Malwarebytes Launches Managed Detection and Response Solution to Reinforce Security Operations of Resource-Limited Organizations

 

Malwarebytes™, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, today launched Malwarebytes Managed Detection and Response (MDR), which combines EDR technology and human-delivered security expertise to provide 24/7 threat hunting, monitoring, and response.

Amid a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, many organizations lack the time and expertise to monitor and validate security alerts around-the-clock. Teams also struggle to fully utilize the forensics and threat hunting tools provided by EDR platforms and can miss identifying hidden threats before they become infections. Without the time for thorough incident investigations of the scope and root cause of an event, organizations are left with ineffective remediation plans and risk repeating the incident cycle.

By providing world-class security analysts, third-party intelligence, and threat analysis tools, Malwarebytes MDR can extend the capabilities of existing teams or completely fill the need of organizations lacking dedicated security staff. The Malwarebytes MDR analysts are constantly monitoring and triaging alerts, hunting for hidden threats, and either directly remediating or providing customized guidance to organizations. For any SMB or MSP with more alerts than they can handle, Malwarebytes MDR enables organizations to prioritize critical alerts, detect advanced malware attacks, analyse past indicators-of-compromise, and bolster ongoing resiliency.

“There simply aren’t enough hours in the day for most organizations to adequately address a barrage of alerts. But they don’t have to do it alone,” said Bob Shaker, Vice President of Managed Services at Malwarebytes. “We’ve recruited an incredible team of dedicated experts across the globe and empowered them with our award-winning tools and AI-based threat modeling to be a powerful force-multiplier for SMBs and MSPs. This is just the beginning as we continue to accelerate product innovation and deliver new services to secure chronically underserved SMBs and empower MSPs to be their heroes.”

Specifically, Malwarebytes MDR will:

  • Supplement security expertise: Augments security staff with an instant team of experts to correlate threat data, enrich alerts and respond to threats 24/7.
  • Expedite threat response: Bolsters cyber resilience with effective protection and flexible remediation options to detect and respond to attacks as they occur.
  • Reduce security costs: Quick time-to-value and improved efficiency for security operations with technology-supported, expert services that significantly reduce security costs.
  • Advance security posture: Built upon Malwarebytes’ industry-tested and proven Malwarebytes EDR which applies advanced data analytics and near real-time threat intelligence to detect zero-day and other hidden threats.
  • Provide rapid time-to-value: Automated onboarding that gets SMBs and MSPs from purchase to service operation fast and easy.
  • Assist in meeting compliance requirements: Prevents threats to security, availability, integrity, and privacy of customer data in support of compliance with the broad range of regulatory requirements.
