New program gives resellers the tools, support required to easily deliver MSSP services

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The network security company Stonesoft today announced the availability of a new MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) program, offering its network of resellers the opportunity to host and operate Stonesoft’s network security solutions. This new program gives resellers a low-risk opportunity to leverage Stonesoft’s diverse portfolio of network security solutions to expand their revenue streams.

Stonesoft's new MSSP program is especially designed for IT resellers whose customers are mainly small or medium-sized (SMB) companies that have decided to outsource their security management. Through a multi-tenant architecture and the ability to monitor and manage various customer domains through a single management console, Stonesoft’s MSSP-friendly offerings gives resellers an easy way to deliver MSSP services, identify new business opportunities and uncover stable revenue streams.

Unlike competing MSSP programs, Stonesoft offers a low-risk, pay-as-you-grow model. This allows resellers to minimize customer acquisition costs by paying only for the number of activated security engines.

“As the demand for security as a service is growing, we want to offer our resellers a way to deliver those services easily and at little risk. The Stonesoft MSSP program makes it easy for our resellers to quickly and easily create new revenue sources and market awareness,” said Richard Benigno, SVP of North American sales, Stonesoft.

Stonesoft MSSP Solution

At the center of Stonesoft’s MSSP program is the Stonesoft MSSP Solution, which provides dedicated tools for managing multi-tenant environments. For example, MSSPs can easily deploy new customers with the Stonesoft Mass Security solution, manage the customer environments efficiently with Customer Domains and provide customized security services for their end customers through Stonesoft Web Portal.

Stonesoft's MSSP Solution provides resellers full control and visibility to configure and manage the customer environments. The end customers will benefit from the exceptional visibility to the security service they have acquired.
