Watchguard Technologies has announced its incorporation to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program. This joint sale program is designed for AWS partners that offer software solutions that are executed or integrate with AWS, facilitating the direct connection between the ISV participants and the AWS sales organization.

At present, technology buyers increasingly resort to the cloud marketplaces to evaluate and acquire technological tools. Although this process offers comfort, autonomy and cost efficiency, it can also be overwhelming due to the complexity of acquiring and implementing cybersecurity solutions.

Being part of the AWS Partner Network and the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, and be available at AWS Marketplace, Watchguard expands access to its cybersecurity platform for MSPs around the world. This program provides Watchguard support and joint sales benefits, allowing customer needs to be better satisfied through collaboration with AWS sales equipment globally. Joint sale not only improves the results for customers, but also guarantees a mutual commitment between AWS and its partners.

“With the increase of end users and cybersecurity buyers that resort to marketplaces in the cloud to search and acquire security tools, the availability in AWS Marketplace allows Watchguard to reach the service providers managed where they are. We are delighted to offer them options and flexibility, and to streamline and facilitate access to our unified cybersecurity solutions so that they can boost more sales, ”says Danny Banks, leader of Cloud Marketplaces in Watchguard.

Excellence and availability standards at AWS Marketplace

The members of the AWS ISV Accelerate program must comply with the most demanding standards in the sector and undergo an exhaustive evaluation to be accepted. Watchguard went through a thorough review of architecture and security to guarantee the quality and design of its solutions. In addition, the client’s excellence tests were reviewed to validate the successes achieved in various industrial sectors.

Watchguard has also announced that its platform is available on Aws Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of independent suppliers software listings. This facilitates the search, test, purchase and deployment of software that is executed in AWS, providing customers with the possibility of expediting the purchase and management of the Watchguard platform within its AWS Marketplace account.

Benefits for customers and the future of cybersecurity

The availability of Watchguard in Aws Marketplace not only facilitates access to its cybersecurity solutions, but also offers customers the possibility of managing their purchases more efficiently. This strategic movement allows Watchguard to reach a broader audience and provide its MSP services around the world, improving the safety and operational efficiency of its customers.
