In a bid to breathe life into its India business, Panda Security has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Cyberstar Infocom.
Cyberstar will distribute Panda’s entire portfolio including Panda ActiveScan 2.0 range of end-point security, UTM appliances under the GateDefender brand and cloud security offerings in form of CloudOffice Protection and CloudEmail Protection.
“Though we have been in India for a few years now, we felt this is the right time to expand and partner with Cyberstar as a distributor to offer installation and customer support that will enhance and complement our business,” said Chin Yoke Mon, Marketing Director, Panda Security.
Cyberstar will appoint a set of authorized sub-distributors for market coverage and penetration for Panda products. “We will be appointing one sub-distributor in each of the leading 50 cities. We have established a call center in Chennai exclusively for Panda customers and will offer toll-free support. We have deployed 15 engineers for partner and customer support, and plan to double the team soon,” said Raj Rathi, Managing Director, Cyberstar Infocom.
Cyberstar plans to sell 50,000 boxes of Panda’s consumer antivirus per month. The consumer offerings consist of Panda Antivirus Pro 2011, Internet Security 2011 and Global Protection 2011.
Yoke Mon informed that Panda will launch its UTM appliances—GateDefender Performa for large enterprises and GateDefender Integra for small businesses, and its cloud offerings—six months later.
