“What really sets WithSecure apart is the intuitiveness of the product and the simplicity of the portal. I can ask a Level 1 support tech to configure profile policies for a machine, and he can easily create a report that meets our best practices standards.”

- Eric Berndtson, Sr. Security Architect at DefendEdge

The Management Portal is a single access to manage both WithSecure™ Endpoint Detection and Response and Vulnerability Management solutions, which streamlines administration and keeps the SOC team focused on responding to critical alerts, like a new zero-day Ryuk variant detected on one of their customer’s endpoints before it could hold the network hostage.

But there is more to being an WithSecure™ partner than our top-notch technology. “I think our partnership is amazing. It’s clear that your team wants us to succeed and you’re willing to work with us to win business.”

Top Reasons DefendEdge is an WithSecure™ Partner:

• Intuitive product and simplified management
• Outstanding support and communication from partner manager
• Flexible pricing to help us beat the competition

Network Design Consultants is a Managed Service Provider based in Canton, Ohio and serving the surrounding region. They began researching new antivirus solutions when their former provider’s products started to fall short of their clients’ expectations. After researching online and seeing WithSecure’s recurring receipts of AV Test Awards, they requested a demo of WithSecure™ Endpoint Detection and Response.

It was an easy decision to make the switch to WithSecure™ Endpoint Detection and Response as their default endpoint solution. It provided greater visibility into network and device activities, more granular control of firewalls, mobile devices, and content settings, and offered clearer alerts and more detailed reporting.

“We know that a blanket solution does not work for all, which required us to pivot.” says Scott McClain, President and CEO of Network Design Consultants.

“It’s not just antivirus anymore. Customers need our customized services, and our services include WithSecure Endpoint Detection and Response because it provides the details they need to show it’s working.”

- Scott McClain, President and CEO of Network Design Consultants

Top Reasons Network Design Consultants is an WithSecure™ Partner:

• Outstanding support and communication from partner manager
• Continuous product improvement and enhanced reporting capabilities
• Flexible pricing to help us beat the competition
• Great technical support

“The management portal was really what sold it for us because it was entirely cloud based which made it easy to access, unlike your competitors at the time. In doing additional research, WithSecure had a great track record according to third party tests of AV comparisons, so we haven’t looked back since.”

- Kris Roath, President at Sirkdot

Another benefit of console is the ability to control and push out profiles to all their customers at once because, and prevent users from modifying their configurations, especially those who aren’t tech savvy and are more dangerous to themselves. Sirkdot adopted WithSecure™ Elements Endpoint Detection and Response to their customers’ networks because “it provides more visibility on each machine and extra protection for our customers in today’s environment; it’s the standard for us moving forward.”

Sirkdot recently began offering the WithSecure™ Elements Vulnerability Management product as an additional service to provide customers. The scans report back information on what’s on customer networks, so Kris’s team doesn’t have to manually go in and find those risks. Instead, it allows his team to identify and share any concerns with customers and quickly provide a solution to address them before they become a bigger issue.

Ultimately, Sirkdot is an WithSecure™ partner because of the innovations of the product and the management interface of the portal and client is clean cut and just works well. “We often turn down other vendors who want us to carry their products because not only do we not have customers with any malware, WithSecure™ continues to come out on top in third party testing almost every single time.”

Top reasons Sirkdot is an WithSecure™ Partner:

• WithSecure™ product innovations
• Consistently top performance on 3rd party tests

Gareth McKee had known about WithSecure™ (formerly F-Secure Business) for years while living in the United Kingdom before founding Burnt Orange Solutions, based in Saskatoon, Canada. He had been happy with his former AV provider, until it became too difficult for his small team to manage multiple clients through multiple portals. When WithSecure™ appeared in his Google search results for “single pane of glass management solution”, all it took was a demo to make the decision to switch.

WithSecure™ Endpoint Protection is a key component of the Burnt Orange solution stack, not just because of the Management Portal, but also because of the updater feature which pushes out updates for multiple software applications on the endpoints. Additionally, Gareth can quickly scale the solution for his customers with a painless licensing process, also managed directly in the Management Portal.

“The licensing process is painless. I can manage it directly in the Management Portal, and deployment is nearly instantaneous.”

- Gareth McKee, Owner & Founder at Burnt Orange Solutions

Top Reasons Burnt Orange Solutions is an WithSecure™ Partner:

• Responsiveness from partner manager and tech support
• Purchasing process is so easy and provides instantaneous deployment

Technology Helps is on a mission to end digital poverty. They are dedicated to helping not-for-profit organizations improve IT infrastructure and adopt sustainable technology and cyber security plans that support work well into the future, so these organizations may focus on their missions and thrive.

The experts at Technology Helps wanted a universal platform that would serve their clients who range from woefully unaware of technology and cybersecurity, to those who can manage their IT themselves, but look to Technology Helps for solution recommendations or end-user training. They needed something that could help customers help themselves.

After thorough research into various vendors, products and solutions, and an admittedly arduous selection process, WithSecure™ came out on top. The components of WithSecure’s portfolio, Endpoint Protection, Detection and Response, and Vulnerability Management made it easy for Technology Helps to provide an all-in-one solution easily managed through a single portal.

Not only does Technology Helps employ the “full stack” internally, but they also deploy it for their customers and recommend it to other clients whose current solutions are approaching end of life, or those who are struggling to manage multiple products from multiple vendors to get the same level of protection offered by the WithSecure™ portfolio.

“From a technical perspective, the WithSecure solution just made sense…the forward-thinking approach to the portfolio resonated with me. I want our clients to be safe and have something that will last.”

- Nathan Metzer, Solutions Lead at Technology Helps

But product isn’t the only value Technology Helps sees from WithSecure. They take full advantage of training programs and webinars offered to customers so they can share with their customers.

“We have to stay on top of the cyber security trends and threat landscape and we’re relying on your team to help us stay updated. The insight your experts share with us is just invaluable.”

- Nathan Metzer, Solutions Lead at Technology Helps
