CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VIPRE Security, developers of top-rated, award-winning endpoint security solutions for small and medium businesses, and home users, has earned a prestigious Readers’ Choice Award in the Best Endpoint Security Vendor category by ChannelPro magazine. As noted by ChannelPro: “The real story here is VIPRE Security slipping past the much bigger and better-known Symantec Corp. to grab the silver honors.”
The Readers’ Choice awards are given annually to leading IT vendors based on a survey of solution providers, MSPs and other channel partners conducted by ChannelPro. This year, VIPRE Security earned the Silver award for its SMB- and partner-friendly solutions, services, and channel programs. Specifically, channel partners were asked to vote on a company’s ability to satisfy the unique business requirements, work styles, and budgets of small and midsize business clients, as well as those that best serve their own partner organizations.
Earlier this year, VIPRE Security launched a successful new partner program, as well as a program specifically for MSPs, and is poised to launch an all-new website and channel partner portal that provides a single, online gateway that aggregates all the valuable tools, services and content needed to grow and manage their VIPRE Security business. As a result, VIPRE Security received more new partner applications in the first half of 2017 than all of last year.
“We are making significant investments within our channel organization and I’m pleased to see that our efforts are resonating with ChannelPro readers,” said Marya Munir, senior director of channel marketing at VIPRE Security. “Meanwhile, our great strides in the channel have been matched by our innovative solutions that continue to earn top ratings from independent third-party reviewers such as AV-Comparatives. Between our channel program benefits and award-winning solutions, it’s a great time to be a VIPRE Security partner.”
Consistent Results, Real-World Protection
VIPRE recently received its third consecutive Advanced+ rating from AV-Comparatives, the world’s leading independent authority on antivirus performance. AV Comparatives’ Real-World Protection Tests, known as the industry’s most comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of antivirus products, test antivirus engines on a monthly basis with a barrage of real-world threats, including drive-by exploits, malicious URLs and malicious files. In addition to its A+ rating, VIPRE has been awarded:
- ICSA Labs Excellence in Security Testing Award
- Info Security PG’s Global Excellence Awards
- CDM INFOSEC’s Best Product Anti-Malware Award
- CRN Mobility 100
The 2017 ChannelPro survey was fielded during the first quarter of 2017 and drew more than 500 responses from VARs, MSPs, integrators, system builders, and IT consultants.
“The results are a true snapshot of the top IT product and service providers in today’s SMB channel,” said Michael Siggins, publisher of ChannelPro. “We are gratified that such a large number of readers participated in our survey, underscoring their commitment to, and understanding of, the SMB market and the vendors, distributors, and professional associations with whom they partner.”
