CyberSmart has launched its partnership with e92plus, an independent cybersecurity value added distributor.e92plus provides suite of channel-first security and cloud solutions to protect and enable its partners to grow. It has helped more than 1,200 VARs, MSPs, SIs, CSPs and consultancies across the UK and Ireland.
CyberSmart offers an all-in-one cybersecurity monitoring, optimisation, training and insurance solution to defend against the unexpected. Like e92plus, CyberSmart focuses on delivering its cybersecurity platform through the Channel.
The partnership will focus on delivering CyberSmart’s cyber risk management platform, including Cyber Essentials certification, products CyberSmart Active Protect and CyberSmart Vulnerability Manager, and cyber insurance to e92plus’ partners throughout the UK and Ireland. While the partnership is launching primarily in the UK and Ireland, e92plus plans to launch alongside CyberSmart in the Netherlands and other EU markets in the coming years.
The joining of forces between CyberSmart and e92plus is timely. A recent CyberSmart surbey found that 65 per cent of MSP customers now expect their provider to manage their cybersecurity infrastructure or their cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. This partnership will help deliver the tools MSPs and VARs need to meet customer demand.
“We’re excited to be working with Cybersmart to bring their platform to our partner community,” said Mukesh Gupta, CEO at e92plus. “We’re seeing strong demand in the SMB and mid-market sectors for more assistance around cybersecurity strategy, processes and compliance standards, and this addresses that growing marketing need.
“The requirements are so complex and diverse, and many businesses struggle to have the internal staff and expertise to manage their cybersecurity tools, let alone manage frameworks, address staff training and ensure an organisation has the right risk management and reporting in place. For our VARs and MSPs, this is a perfect way to build their services and consultancy offering without significant investment.”
Jamie Akhtar, CEO at CyberSmart, said, “We’re delighted to be working with e92plus. Our businesses share a vision of what cybersecurity for SMBs should look like. The demand for solutions that can help smaller businesses get on top of their cybersecurity, compliance and risk management is only growing.
“And, this partnership addresses the demand, while giving MSPs and VARs a fast and simple route to building up their cybersecurity capabilities. We see this as another important step towards our mission of providing complete cyber confidence to every small business.”
