WatchGuard adds endpoint security specialization option to channel program and makes combined product portfolio available to partners just four months after acquisition of Panda Security

WatchGuard Technologies announced that both its existing and newly added partners from the Panda Security acquisition now have access to the full suite of products and services from both companies via WatchGuard?s worldwide network of authorized distributors.

Panda products are now available individually and through Passport, WatchGuard?s bundle of user-centric security services. Combining WatchGuard?s Total Security Suite and Passport bundle allows partners to provide complete security from network to endpoint for their customers.

?Opening this cross-sell opportunity for our partners quickly has been a major priority from day one, and it represents the latest milestone in WatchGuard?s ongoing mission to be THE security provider for MSPs,? said Michelle Welch, senior vice president of marketing at WatchGuard.

?We?re now one step closer to delivering a Unified Security Platform that offers powerful, fully integrated and easily administered defenses for networks, endpoints and identities. Partners that want industry-leading, end-to-end security from a single vendor, with simplified purchasing, deployment and management, should look no further than the WatchGuardONE program.?

Since then, more than 25 percent of partners in the WatchGuardONE program has deployed Adaptive Defense 360 internally and started integrating it into their portfolios.

WatchGuard has brought on 6,500 new partners from Panda Security in 2020, growing its channel community to over 18,000 active partners globally.
