Program creates path to greater profitability for MSPs by empowering them to help customers improve access security and reduce operational complexity

Appgate (OTC: APGT), the secure access company, today launched its new Appgate Managed Service Provider (MSP) Program designed to help partners maximize the value of Appgate SDP, an industry-leading Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, through comprehensive technical training, robust enablement and 24/7 dedicated technical support. The program also features pay-as-you-go pricing that allows partners to easily and readily adapt to changing business needs without overcommitting their budgets.

“Zero Trust has become pervasive in cybersecurity conversations and is redefining how companies approach secure access to their applications,” said Tina Gravel, Senior Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances, Appgate. “With more than 90 percent of enterprises reporting that they are working on a Zero Trust initiative, we wanted to give our partners a comprehensive tool kit to help their customers facilitate their journey.”

Purpose-built to meet the new requirements of modern, hybrid enterprise IT, the Appgate SDP platform gives MSPs a powerful ZTNA as a service solution that is easy to deploy and manage at scale while simultaneously providing modern, secure access for their customers. To help customers realize the full potential of ZTNA, partners must be empowered to help customers at every stage of their Zero Trust journey. The Appgate MSP Program was expressly designed to provide access to a comprehensive selection of business tools and marketing resources to help partners succeed, including:

• Training and support: Appgate’s training and certification program is designed to help partners differentiate themselves and ensure relevance in the market
• Sales tools: access to Appgate’s robust library of sales enablement resources
• Marketing resources: access to collateral, campaigns and content to support marketing efforts
• Marketing development funds: access to MDF for select partners to accelerate MSP go-to-market initiatives

“As a Security Partner we utilize a best-of-breed approach to our technology platform,” said Dan Johnsen, Alliance Manager, Avertium. “When it comes to Zero Trust, Appgate is the best in the business. Appgate allows us to provide a seamless approach to Zero Trust Network Access for our client base. An added benefit is the great team that they have in place to assist us and further augment the Managed Service we deliver to our clients!”

“Appgate solves the VPN business problem, but so much more,” said Sunny Lowe, President of Blue Jeans Networks. “If you want always-on VPN, with high security and an easy way to protect your resources from bad networks (like unsecured Wi-Fi networks), then Appgate can solve this problem, with increased speed over your firewall-based VPN client. More security, faster speed, easy to use.”
