Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider QED Connect  today announced a reseller partnership with Kaspersky Lab, a leading provider of Internet threat management solutions that protect against viruses, spyware, hackers and spam.

QED Connect has joined Kaspersky's channel partner program and will offer its full line of award-winning network security products and solutions in the U.S.

The partnership, say the two companies, will provide customers with premium antivirus and anti-malware protection to complement QED's flagship Omni Manager, a SaaS that offers visibility, management and control of activity on all computers, laptops and wireless devices.

"Kaspersky Lab's highly regarded antivirus and anti-malware solutions are the ideal complement to Omni Manager," said Tom Makmann, Chairman of QED Connect. "This partnership enables us to deliver even more benefits to customers who implement SaaS for time and cost savings, yet still require the high levels of protection necessary for complex networks, remote offices and mobile workforce. As a Kaspersky reseller partner, we will have access to an even greater range of market and growth opportunities."

Kaspersky Lab Security Solutions are designed to meet the needs of organizations of all sizes, from environments with just a few users to corporate networks with tens of thousands of users.

"We understand that our partners today are not only looking for new security offerings that deliver leading technology and world class service, they are also looking for a profitable and high-growth partnership," said John Eddy, Vice President of Sales, Kaspersky Lab. "By partnering with Kaspersky, QED Connect is able to provide its customers the security, reliability and manageability that their organizations mandate."
