Woburn, MA – March 30, 2020Kaspersky has received a 5-Star rating from CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, in its 2020 Partner Program Guide. The 5-Star rating is awarded to an elite group of companies that offer solution providers the best of the best in their partner programs. Kaspersky receives this award for the company’s partner program, Kaspersky United, that enables partners to develop and grow their security expertise regardless of their level of maturity.

The Channel Company’s research team analyzed each vendor’s partner program to determine the 2020 5-Star ratings. Each was scored based on several factors including investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication. Based on that assessment, the Kaspersky United Partner Program stands among the elite technology suppliers in the IT channel, providing maximum value and support for solution providers.

The Kaspersky United Partner Program provides an opportunity for partners to develop in-depth knowledge in specific solution sets in order to offer customers specialized IT security solutions and services. Kaspersky encourages its partners to earn certifications to master techniques that can enhance their selling capabilities of the company’s products. Partners also receive access to education, sales and marketing toolkits, and benefit from a new transparent monetary rewards structure in which they can maintain and monetize their specializations across different status levels in one or several solution sets.

“With the speed and complexity of technology today, solution providers need partners that can keep pace and support their growing business,” said Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s Partner Program Guide features insight into the strengths and benefits of each company’s program to identify those that truly support and drive positive change within the IT channel.”

“It is with great honor that we accept the 5-Star rating from CRN in its 2020 Partner Program Guide,” said Matthew Courchesne, head of channel at Kaspersky North America. “At Kaspersky, we understand that business needs are evolving, and it is important for our channel program to reflect the needs of our partners. In doing so, we are able to offer partners a level of convenience that allows them to specialize in areas that can provide their customers with a new level of knowledge and expertise, while also enhancing and diversifying their portfolios from the competition.”

The 2020 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of CRN® and online at www.CRN.com/ppg.
