Which three vendors has cybersecurity VAD e92plus added to its roster?

Each vendor brings the distie new opportunities in the SMB and SME space

Cybersecurity distributor e92plus has landed three major new vendor signings as the group continues to build on a successful 2022.

It welcomes Check Point Software Technologies, Proofpoint and Picus Security into its vendor roster, bolstering its technology stack.

The UK cybersecurity channel is hyper competitive, highlighting the success for e92plus in seeing its most prosperous year ever in 2022 with record revenues, it said.

The Surbiton-based distie added that the continued disruption and acquisitive nature of distribution has seen e92plus emerge as the largest independent cybersecurity VAD.

With continued investment in technical, marketing and automation services, the group is being recognised by major vendors as the best choice to partner with and build a channel community, it claims.

"We've always enjoyed a reputation for market building, and in a competitive channel landscape it's fantastic to celebrate a record year by signing vendors that include both established market leaders and new, disruptive technologies," said e92plus founder and CEO, Mukesh Gupta.

"We're seeing a lot of change in the channel as partners seek new opportunities in both services and technology, but the bottom line is the need to provide simplified, effective protection that customers can trust, and ensure they're delivering the very best, demonstrable ROI at a time when budgets are under huge strain. These new partnerships deliver that, and we're hugely excited by what 2023 will bring".

What does each vendor bring to the table?

The deal with Check Point builds on an existing relationship covering the vendor's CloudGuard offering and Harmony endpoint, mobile and gateway technologies, to now encompass its Quantum firewalls.

Check Point's focus on the SMB market will see e92plus driving partner recruitment and enablement alongside providing training and professional services in an area of huge opportunity for partners.

The partnership with Proofpoint allows e92plus to distribute Proofpoint Essentials, its exclusively-built information security solution for SMEs.

The dedicated Cloud and MSP team at Proofpoint will work with e92msp, the dedicated division for managed services, to help shape a community of partners that build on Proofpoint's solutions with their own expertise and services - whether they are pure-play CSP and MSP/MSSPs, or VARs looking to build a cybersecurity managed service practice.

Finally, with Picus Security, the breach & attack simulation is one the vendor says it's seen huge success with internationally, and are now looking to accelerate their growth in the UK with e92plus.
