It took some time for it to go primetime, but Kaspersky Lab formally introduced its managed security service offering to the market at its North American Partner Conference here.
First introduced to channel partners at its Americas Partner Conference in the winter of 2011, the managed service edition offers MSPs the ability to offer Kaspersky’s endpoint security on a pay-as-you-go basis, with little to no upfront fee. The solution has been in beta with a select group of channel partners for some time now, but is starting to live. Partners at the Conference here will be given first crack at it, with other partners to get access in short order.
Some more thoughts on the launch after the jump, but first, this brief introduction from North American channel chief Chris Doggett.
