Bitdefender announced it has
joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendor (ISV)
Accelerate Program, a global co-sell initiative designed for AWS
partners offering software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS
and are sold through the AWS Marketplace. The program fosters deep
collaboration between Bitdefender and AWS, helping businesses seamlessly
integrate Bitdefender's endpoint protection, cloud security, and other
solutions into their AWS deployments.
"Businesses face unprecedented challenges in extending advanced
cybersecurity capabilities to AWS and other cloud environments as attack
surfaces continue to grow," said Andrei Florescu, president and general
manager at Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. "Joining the AWS ISV
Accelerate Program enables us to work closely with AWS to streamline the
delivery, integration, and support of our market-leading cloud security
and endpoint protection solutions with our partners. The partnership
empowers our customers to effectively monitor, identify, and stop
threats while effectively managing security configurations across
multi-cloud environments."
The AWS ISV Accelerate Program connects ISV partners with AWS sales to
drive new business opportunities for Bitdefender and channel partners.
By joining the program, Bitdefender further strengthens its presence in
the business and enterprise marketplace. In addition to streamlining the
buying and solution integration processes for AWS environments,
Bitdefender benefits from prioritized access to AWS co-sell resources,
including training, webinars, seminars, and best practices that enhance
selling success to meet customer needs.
The first solution introduced on the AWS Marketplace through this program is Bitdefender Security for AWS, a comprehensive security solution designed specifically for AWS cloud environments. It integrates with the GravityZone Platform, the company's flagship unified security and risk analytics platform that provides advanced endpoint protection including extended detection and response (XDR) and cloud security
for physical, virtual, and multi-cloud environments. The platform
delivers deep security context to detections and offers a direct path to
Bitdefender Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.
Members of the AWS ISV Accelerate Program are held to rigorous industry
standards, requiring a comprehensive evaluation to gain acceptance.
Bitdefender underwent an extensive review of its architecture and
technology to ensure its solutions meet the highest quality and design
benchmarks. The program also assessed proof of customer success,
highlighting Bitdefender's proven track record of delivering exceptional
outcomes across various industry verticals.
