Company Will Educate Attendees on Transitioning Managed Service Provider Security Offerings from Antivirus Software to Security-as-a-Service

GLENDALE, Calif., April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Panda Security, a leading global provider of IT security solutions, today announced that the company will participate in MSPWorld 2009 in Orlando, Florida on April 30 and May 1, 2009 as a gold sponsor. The company will exhibit in booth 15, and will educate Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and channel partners on the many benefits of using a Security-as-a-Service solution (SaaS) versus traditional endpoint security software. Comprised of over 8,000 Managed Service Providers worldwide, the MSPAlliance is the world's largest professional association and accrediting body for the Managed Services Industry, and has been the only unified voice for the Managed Services Industry in the past ten years.

Panda Security will also provide a technical training for show attendees about Panda Managed Office Protection (www.pandamop.com), a hosted SaaS solution for MSPs and small and medium businesses (SMBs). This presentation will be given by Panda Security's International Business Development Director, Bruno Rodriguez at 10:30 a.m. on May 1 in a session titled, "Switching from Traditional AV to Security-as-a-Service."

Panda Managed Office Protection is up to 50 percent more efficient than traditional endpoint security software offered by leading antivirus companies and is geared towards the attendees of this show. By combining hosted management and monitoring, Panda Managed Office Protection offers one of the industry's most mature SaaS antivirus solutions that allows MSP's to manage their clients' protection anytime from anywhere without additional infrastructure investments.

Panda Managed Office Protection enables MSPs to offer subscriptions to a security service instead of selling bundles of antivirus products, saving MSP customers from dedicating valuable personnel and resources to maintaining their network security solution themselves. MSPs can configure Managed Office Protection for any computer with an Internet connection and assign custom security profiles to every PC based on individual or departmental requirements. The solution also offers custom-branded automated reports and simple remote installation features for customized and quick client service.

"Panda Managed Office Protection and other Panda products are designed especially for small businesses that depend on Managed Service Providers to handle their IT needs," said Rodriguez. "The MSPAlliance is a very important community for us, as the organization includes the most influential and strategic Managed Service Providers in the industry. We are looking forward to introducing Alliance members to Panda Managed Office Protection because we are confident that it will help increase their depth of service offerings as well as revenue."
