CrowdStrike targets SMBs with new distie-led MSSP program across JAPAC

Small and medium sized businesses will have increased access to CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform following an expansion of its managed security service provider (MSSP) go-to-market strategy across Japan and Asia Pacific (JAPAC).

Dicker Data and Otsuka Corporation will lead the distributor-focused model which is designed to let partners onboard MSSPs at scale and deliver managed services that bring AI-powered protection to SMBs, CrowdStrike said.

“Distributors and MSSPs are pivotal to scaling CrowdStrike’s reach across JAPAC and helping organisations modernise their security for the AI era,” said Jon Fox, vice president of channels and alliances, CrowdStrike Japan and Asia Pacific.

“Budget constraints, complexity, and resource limitations continue to challenge businesses, with SMBs experiencing these challenges at greater scale. Together with our partners, we are expanding access to the AI-powered protection that enables organisations to stay focused on their core business.”
