CrossLoop and BitDefender Partner to Offer Malware Protection to CrossLoop’s Expert Community
BitDefender’s award winning anti-malware solution will be offered within CrossLoop’s crowd-sourced Channel Program.
Mountain View, CA, December 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- CrossLoop’s unique combination of award-winning desktop sharing technology and industry's largest crowd-sourced community of tech experts provides businesses and individuals with real-time, low-cost, remote technical support and training. Today, CrossLoop and BitDefender have partnered together to offer malware protection and comprehensive internet security solutions to CrossLoop’s Expert Community within the Channel Program. The program, the industry’s first crowd-sourced channel program, creates a completely new channel whereby software and services vendors can gain access to a previously elusive set of potential customers (millions of individual users and small companies) via a source (the CrossLoop Expert Community) already trusted by those customers. The program also empowers the independent IT experts within that channel to become a one-stop, personally accountable tech-support shop for their customer's frustrating computer technical problems.
BitDefender’s award winning Antivirus Pro, Internet Security, and Total Security solutions are now available to the CrossLoop community. BitDefender products use proactive technology to detect malware that have yet to be seen, like zero day threats, and to protect computer users against the various cyber threats.
“CrossLoop has built a unique community of independent IT professionals – many of whom use our products on a regular basis,” said Peter Laakkonen, GM of OEM and technology licensing for BitDefender. “This partnership gives BitDefender the opportunity to expand our footprint in that community of crowdsource experts, and to help those experts grow their businesses and increase their customer satisfaction while making the best proactive security products available to their customers.”
“We’re extremely pleased for a respected, global security company like BitDefender to have partnered with us to offer malware protection within CrossLoop’s Channel Program,” said John Zicker, CrossLoop CEO. “The growth of this new program is testament to the size and importance of this new channel. With more than 30,000 independent IT professionals already part of this community, we predict it will grow very rapidly as awareness grows about this completely new revenue stream.”
