Hornetsecurity recently secured a slate of new partnerships and distribution deals across the APAC and EMEA regions, strengthening its overall global operations, according to a press release.

"In signing these agreements, we have made a significant expansion commitment into APAC and Eastern Europe,” Colin Wright, VP, ROW, Hornetsecurity, said. “Microsoft retains significant dominance in the region, so it makes sense that our complementary next-gen email security, backup and compliance solutions should grow alongside as the No. 1 third-party provider. To date, we've focused largely on Western Europe and the Americas, but now we have a dedicated team to roll out Hornetsecurity into APAC and we are finding initial demand really exciting."

The global email security and backup provider has entered a collaboration with Philippines and Saudi Arabia-based distributors, WSI and S2, as well as EMT in the Middle East, ED&R Polska in Poland, PBCom in the Czech Republic and Datastor Australia.

Under the terms of the agreement, more than 10 countries will implement Hornetsecurity's flagship 365 Total Protection suite and 365 Total Backup into their Microsoft systems.

"We're one of the leading distributors in the Philippines, and we've taken the decision to expand our cybersecurity portfolio with Hornetsecurity because of its alternate stance on becoming the No. 1 end-to-end supplier of cybersecurity and set-and-forget backups for Microsoft for SMBs, and all controlled from one easy-to-use control panel for those offering managed services. With Hornetsecurity, it's all about convenience and flexibility to give MSPs peace of mind while reducing their demands on time,” Hazel Escanlar, general manager WSI, said.

365 Total Backup is credited with helping managed service providers and value-added resellers with their backup and recovery service offerings for Microsoft 365 features, such as Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint.

"Through these new appointments, we can offer a great market opportunity to more partners globally,” Daniel Hofmann, CEO, Hornetsecurity, said. “They can now bring their customers to Microsoft 365 in a secure, safe and compliant mode, through our next-gen solutions. We also provide them with the unique benefit of being able to back up the data shared via User Chats in Microsoft Teams as well as Group Channel Conversations, something other vendors are not able to do. This strong market position gives our partners a compelling advantage."
