Bitwarden signs Australian distribution deal with Leader Cloud

Bitwarden has signed a distribution agreement with Leader Cloud, the cloud division of Leader, making Bitwarden's credential security portfolio available to more than 16,000 reseller partners across Australia.

Through the arrangement, Leader's network of MSPs, IT resellers, systems integrators and cloud-focused partners will be able to procure, position and deploy Bitwarden products for customers in the SMB, enterprise and government segments.

Partners will gain access to marketplace procurement and billing, licence provisioning, renewals management, presales support, sales assistance, training, marketing programmes and local channel support through Leader Cloud.

The Bitwarden portfolio covers password management, secrets management and passwordless authentication.

Its Password Manager and Secrets Manager products use end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption to protect credentials across users, developers and machine identities, according to the company. Bitwarden said the platform supports flexible deployment options and is built on open-source technology.

"Organisations are looking for practical solutions to reduce credential risk without adding unnecessary complexity for users or IT teams," said Jon Maurer, channel sales director at Bitwarden.

"Working with Leader Cloud will give more than 16,000 Australian reseller partners access to Bitwarden, backed by the procurement, enablement, and local support they need to help customers strengthen credential security."

“Through Leader Cloud, our partners will gain access to a trusted and scalable security platform that helps organisations strengthen identity protection while simplifying credential management," Hanh Tran, cloud business manager at Leader, 

"As cyber security requirements continue to grow, this relationship enables our partners to deliver greater value and better security outcomes for their customers."
