These updates reinforce Kaspersky’s commitment to a partner-first approach, ensuring its ecosystem aligns seamlessly with the evolving business models and needs of its partners.

In 2024, Kaspersky restructured its Partner Program into four key partner types, recognising the diverse profiles within its network – from traditional resellers and system integrators to innovative MSSPs and technology partners.

This transformation simplifies collaboration and enhances the partner experience, allowing different types of partners to leverage Kaspersky’s solutions with greater efficiency. In 2025, Kaspersky remains dedicated to supporting its partners’ adaptation to this evolving strategy while refining the program to better align with their needs.

Understanding the unique requirements of MSSPs, who deliver advanced security services through flexible consumption models, Kaspersky conducted in-depth research to shape the MANAGE program’s structure.

The latest updates to the MANAGE program for MSSPs include an expanded rebate structure covering all subscription-based licensing models, as well as the introduction of Solution Advisory Services – a suite of non-monetary benefits designed to enhance MSSPs’ service delivery capabilities.

Now MSSP partners can benefit from personalised Solution Advisory Sessions, where Kaspersky’s regional experts offer guidance on optimising the use of Kaspersky products for security services.

These sessions cover essential aspects such as product capabilities, performance limitations and integration strategies, ensuring partners have the insights needed to maximise their offerings.

To further support partners in customer engagement, Kaspersky is also introducing Solution Presales Support Sessions. These sessions provide advisory support for presales activities, including demo sessions and Proof of Concepts (PoCs), equipping MSSPs with in-depth knowledge to effectively present and implement Kaspersky solutions in real-world scenarios.

To request Solution Advisory and Presales Support Sessions, partners can contact their local Kaspersky office. The Kaspersky team in the designated region will arrange the session, involving a local engineer.

Additionally, Kaspersky United Partner Portal now provides access to a wider range of technical documentation, deployment scenarios, design considerations, best practices and configuration examples specifically tailored for Managed Security Services.

“By enhancing our Partner Program with a dedicated focus on MSSPs, we are reaffirming our commitment to our partners’ success,” said Inna Nazarova, head of Global Channel at Kaspersky. “We believe that by working closely with our partners, we can collectively drive stronger security outcomes for customers in today’s increasingly complex cyber landscape.”

NeuVector is a zero-trust, full-lifecycle container security platform designed to safeguard cloud-native applications from build to deployment.

It offers comprehensive features such as vulnerability scans, image assurance, runtime security, and network segmentation.

Under this strategic agreement, Infopercept will offer Container Security and Kubernetes Security solutions to organizations embarking on their digital transformation journey in the cloud.

Containers play a pivotal role in cloud adoption, providing the essential components for running applications in diverse environments, including public and private clouds.

Kubernetes, an orchestration platform, effectively manages containers.

While both Kubernetes and Containers offer the agility necessary for digital transformation, security concerns persist among companies transitioning to cloud-based digital transformation initiatives.

Jaydeep Ruparelia, CEO of Infopercept Consulting Pvt Ltd, stated, “Our partnership with SUSE for NeuVector is not only rooted in our shared vision but also in the technological synergy between our organizations. Our visions align on two critical fronts: addressing complex cloud security challenges and harnessing the power of open-source innovation.

Infopercept has been diligently tackling the cloud security concerns of our global clientele through a combination of our ‘Invinsense’ platform and managed services. We’ve expanded our engineering team to deliver code-level security services, facilitating the setup of secure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevSecOps practices.

Through this partnership, we are poised to transition our security offerings from traditional operating systems to encompass containers and Kubernetes. We are genuinely excited to support organizations of all sizes and across various industries on their digital security transformation journey.”

Speaking on the partnership, Sachin Vig, director of Strategic Channels and Alliances for SUSE, said,

“Our primary focus is empowering our customers with open-source technologies that give them the freedom to innovate across all fronts – including the ability to deploy applications in an agile manner while maintaining maximum security.

This partnership with Infopercept helps customers easily consume services from experts in the field that accelerate their digital transformation journey.”
