F-Secure Launches Global Partner Program for MSPs, VARs Selling Cloud-Based Security

F-Secure on Thursday announced a new Global Partner Program for its ecosystem of channel partners. The Finland-based company’s offerings aim to protect digital content across devices and access points for customers and businesses.

The company said managed services providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs) using the new channel partner program can benefit from “healthy, growth-friendly margins” when selling F-Secure’s real-time security solutions and services from the cloud.

F-Secure said one of the program’s goals is to expand the company’s network of more than 3,500 partners to meet the growing security and privacy needs of businesses.
