Kaspersky puts Target on channel

Distributor Target Components to offer Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010

Geach: Target Components will open up channels of previously untapped resellers

Distributor Target Components has partnered with security vendor Kaspersky Lab.

West Yorkshire-based Target will add Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 to its portfolio.

Caroline Spillane, marketing manager of Target Components, said: “We are delighted to be joining Kaspersky Lab’s Green Team partner programme. We will have access to the best pricing and special offers, as well as direct vendor support – all of which are major benefits to our customers and add extra value.”

Launched this month, Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 is the last version of its flagship security product. New features include Safe Run, allowing software to be downloaded and tested in a quarantined environment, and a URL Advisor alerting the user of suspicious sites.

Simon Geach, consumer sales director at Kaspersky Lab UK, said: “Working with Target Components will open up channels of previously untapped resellers, to maximise the visibility we have in the channel and ensure resellers receive the highest levels of service."
