CrowdStrike today announced an expansion of its Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) go-to-market strategy across Japan and Asia Pacific (JAPAC), increasing access to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and accelerating AI-driven cybersecurity transformation. Through expanded strategic partnerships with Dicker Data and Otsuka Corporation, this distributor-led aggregation model enables partners to onboard MSSPs at scale and deliver managed security services that bring AI-powered protection to SMBs.
CrowdStrike expands MSSP go-to-market strategy across JAPAC with Dicker Data and Otsuka Corporation.
Independent Canalys research shows for every $1 of Falcon platform sales, partners can generate up to $7 in services revenue.
Distributor-led model enables select distributors to recruit and activate MSSPs with flexible billing through distributor marketplaces.
Otsuka Corporation offers Rakuraku EDR Premier service combining Falcon platform with SOC support services.
SMBs face budget constraints, complexity, and resource limitations at greater scale than larger enterprises.
The Falcon platform leverages real-time indicators of attack, threat intelligence, and AI-powered protection.
