Cybereason Launches North American MSSP Program to Empower Defender Service Providers

Cybereason announced further investments in its North American channel program with the launch of its Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) Program. The program will support current and future partners by enhancing their revenue streams and efficacy in detection and response services. Cybereason works with MSSPs to end cyberattacks with an operation-centric approach that delivers immediate context into malicious operations across endpoints, users and the cloud.

As part of the MSSP Program launch, Cybereason will provide MSSPs with specialized support from service creation, technical and operational onboarding to revenue and demand generation support. Cybereason will empower the defender service provider partners with technology built to reverse the adversary advantage and offer MDR and IR service enablement programs designed to enhance partner growth and profitability. 

Cybereason recently expanded its North American channel team with several strategic hires, including Stephan Tallent, who is overseeing MSSP growth. In addition, Cybereason is one of 15 cybersecurity vendors securing a coveted spot in the recently published Forrester Wave: Managed Detection and Response, Q1 2021. 

“My goal is to build a stronger path to profitability for our current MSSPs and as we onboard new partners make it easy to integrate with Cybereason. With more and more security buyers across the healthcare, banking and insurance, retail and state and local government outsourcing their detection and response services, the Cybereason mission is to drive healthier margins and profits for our MSSPs. We have the platform, tools and services to give our partners a competitive advantage,” said Stephan Tallent, CISSP, Vice President of Managed Security Services Providers, North America, Cybereason. 

Cybereason gives MSSPs a competitive edge by protecting joint customers emerging security threats with industry-leading efficiency for detection and response.
