Synnex resellers now have access to Kaspersky‘s product line through an extended partnership agreement. Synnex’s U.S. resellers can access Kaspersky through the Synnex Stellr cloud marketplace.

In addition, Synnex partners can be part of the Kaspersky United Partner Program and MSP program. This gives them the opportunity to grow their security expertise while diversifying their portfolios.

Kaspersky is able to expand its network to new partners, which allows them to expand their security offerings and access unique partner benefits.

Kaspersky and Synnex have worked together on distribution strategy and goals in Canada for over 10 years. Now it extends that alliance to channel members in the United States.

“Kaspersky’s expanded partnership with Synnex opens up opportunities for existing U.S. Synnex partners to join the Kaspersky United Partner Program, giving them access to Kaspersky’s … portfolio of products,” he said. “It also offers an added avenue for partners to purchase Kaspersky products.”

Kaspersky’s product line includes hybrid cloud security, threat intelligence services, and the latest Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum. The latest Optimum adds instant visibility and insight on threat incidents, and the ability for automated response.

The agreement gives Synnex resellers a “competitive advantage,” Courchesne said.

“The strategy behind the agreement between Kaspersky and Synnex is what makes it unique,” he said. “By expanding this partnership to resellers in the United States in addition to our existing relationship in Canada, North American resellers are now able to distribute Kaspersky products to a wider range of clients.”

Over time, Kaspersky will add additional products and services to this agreement as they become available, Courchesne said.

“Kaspersky has been a valued partner of Synnex Canada for many years, and we are now pleased to offer their products to existing and new customers in the U.S. through our leading cloud marketplace,” said Reyna Thompson, Synnex’s senior vice president of product management for North America. “We are excited to be able to provide our customers with another leading offering backed by dedicated support and resources. This relationship also further enhances our position as one of the industry’s leading security distributors.”
