PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
Arrow Electronics has extended its distribution agreement with Bitdefender across the UK and Ireland, broadening access to the vendor’s full cyber security portfolio for channel partners.
The agreement, previously centred on monthly MSP licences delivered through ArrowSphere Cloud, now includes termed licences across the entire Bitdefender range. Arrow said the change introduces greater flexibility for partners and supports a wider set of customer requirements.
The expanded portfolio covers prevention, detection and response technologies, combining endpoint protection, XDR, MDR and cyber risk management with capabilities such as dynamic hardening and continuous threat exposure management. Arrow said the move strengthens its existing cyber security ecosystem and creates opportunities to engage additional partners in both markets.
Anthony Dobson, regional director for Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business in the UK and Ireland, said the extension represents an important step in the distributor’s long-standing relationship with Bitdefender and enables partners to address a broader mix of customer needs.
Frank Koelmel, chief revenue officer for Bitdefender’s Business Solutions Group, said organisations must continually adapt to evolving cyber threats, and that the expanded agreement offers partners an integrated approach to prevention, detection, response and risk reduction.
