CRN Recognizes Panda Security for Innovation in the Channel as Top 20 Cloud Security Vendor

ORLANDO, Fla., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Panda Security, the Cloud Security company, today announced that, for the second consecutive year, Everything Channel's CRN named the company a 'Top 20 Cloud Security Vendor,' as part of their Coolest Cloud Computing Vendor list, a comprehensive compilation highlighting the most innovative cloud vendors and solutions for the channel. Coupling this recognition for Panda Security's excellence in the channel, U.S. President Rick Carlson was also named 'Channel Chief' for the second year running.

"This consecutive recognition by CRN only further validates our approach to superior, cloud-based protection and a partner program dedicated to providing cost-effective, innovative security solutions," said Carlson. "Panda Cloud Protection simplifies client management and maintenance tasks for channel partners by leveraging a cloud-based management console to efficiently manage multiple networks, improving margins and recurrent revenue opportunities for resellers."

The CRN 'Top 20 Cloud Security Vendors' list recognized Panda Security's innovative, cloud-based approach to security featured by its Panda Cloud Protection suite, a lightweight managed security service that automates all maintenance tasks and allows SMBs to stay focused on their core business. Panda Cloud Protection includes three separately available solutions: Panda Cloud Office Protection, Panda Cloud Email Protection and Panda Cloud Internet Protection. This three-pronged approach ensures all the main infection vectors are instantaneously protected by threats as they are identified. Panda Cloud Office Protection's single sign-on functionality also allows channel partners to easily identify opportunities for generating additional revenue and sales with more transparent administrative monitoring.

"This year's Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors list is based on a cloud vendor's approach to creating an innovative product in the IT channel," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director at CRN. "Specifically, these vendors help resellers transform themselves into true service providers and help organizations and enterprises take advantage of the ease, flexibility, scalability, elasticity and cost savings that leveraging cloud computing has to offer."
