Kaspersky Lab offers MSPs the security solutions and services needed to keep operations, customer and employee data secure from today’s cyberthreats. With Kaspersky Lab’s MSP program, partners can offer their customers:  

  • Superior malware detection: Kaspersky Lab is continuously rated as best in class by independent antimalware test labs, this year earning first place in 51 independent tests.
