Malwarebytes adds CMS Distribution to UK&I roster

CMS will provide resellers in the region with the vendor’s cybersecurity offerings

Malwarebytes has selected CMS Distribution as its new distributor in the UK and Ireland to offer the vendor’s ThreatDown family of products to resellers.

The antivirus vendor already works with Pax8 and Climb Channel Solutions in the region.

Malwarebytes’ ThreatDown products offer technologies and services, from AI and machine learning based detection to managed threat hunting, all purpose-built to be the easiest to implement and deploy.

Available immediately, reseller partners can place orders for ThreatDown solutions through CMS Distribution.

"CMS’ innovative approach to distribution perfectly complements our mission to empower channel partners across the UK & Ireland,” said Paul Sexton, head of EMEA ThreatDown sales at Malwarebytes.

“By combining tailored regional sales support with scalable cybersecurity solutions, we’re confident this partnership will drive unparalleled growth and success for our channel community.”

Malwarebytes senior vice president of global channel sales Brian Thomas told CRN in June that channel partners were integral to its growth strategy after a successful recruitment drive across the board.

He added that in the longer-term the company will see an evolution of Malwarebytes for business as the corporate arm.

"That's what ThreatDown is, the corporate arm of Malwarebytes. We're embracing a more holistic partner approach and a programme where it's more about reducing complexity and costs for both our partners and customers,” Thomas said.

The same month the vendor launched a new reseller partner programme aimed at helping partners create "profitable and consistent business growth".

Liam Mugford, head of partner development at CMS Distribution added: ‘’We are proud to be partnering with ThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes and continuing to deliver innovative and accessible cybersecurity solutions for our channel partners and their customers.

“Through this new partnership, our resellers will gain real-time and comprehensive threat detection that is scalable to businesses of all sizes.”
