Organizations will have access to ThreatDown EDR and MDR within TeamViewer's Remote Management Console to drive down complexity and costs

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TeamViewer, a leading global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalization solutions, and Malwarebytes, a global leader in real-time cyber protection, today announced a powerful new partnership that brings ThreatDown's advanced endpoint security products and services directly into TeamViewer's Remote Management via its TeamViewer Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and TeamViewer Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions. As the corporate product portfolio of Malwarebytes, ThreatDown solutions are purpose-built to overpower threats, while empowering IT, through easy-to-use, effective technologies.

The partnership tackles the foremost challenge of IT organizations today – complexity. A recent survey revealed that most IT staff lose an average of one day a week to unnecessary complexity, and 64% report that the harder a security solution is to use, the less likely it is to be effective. The partnership addresses a critical need for organizations to enhance their cybersecurity measures without the complexity – or costs – typically associated with enterprise-grade solutions. By integrating ThreatDown solutions into TeamViewer's Remote Management, businesses can now benefit from comprehensive security that is both powerful and easy to manage.

"Through this partnership, we are providing our customers with an unprecedented level of security integrated directly into their remote management workflows," said Frank Ziarno, Vice President of Product Management, TeamViewer. "Customers can now enjoy seamless, secure remote access while leveraging top-tier ThreatDown security solutions and expert services to stay protected against the broad spectrum of modern cyber threats."

"Robust security must be coupled with usability. As we innovate to combat malware, ransomware and today's sophisticated threats, we are continuously looking for opportunities to streamline and simplify cybersecurity, making it available for everyone," said Brian Thomas, SVP of Global Channel, Malwarebytes. "This new collaboration with TeamViewer allows us to offer security via our endpoint detection and response solution and experts via our managed detection and response service to a wider audience of businesses, regardless of their size, budget, or security maturity." In less than 15 seconds, customers can add TeamViewer EDR and TeamViewer MDR to their TeamViewer subscription.

ThreatDown Solutions Earn Product of the Year from AVLab

ThreatDown products consistently excel in third-party tests. ThreatDown EDR earned, "Product of the Year" from AVLab for blocking 100% of "in-the-wild" malware samples across at least three separate tests. In addition, ThreatDown has earned every MRG Effitas award for three consecutive years, highlighting the product portfolio's ability to meet today's most pressing in-the-wild threats—such as zero-day malware, ransomware, and exploits—with speedy performance and low false positive rates. The performance is due to the superior detection approach of ThreatDown solutions that combines rules-based techniques with behavioral and AI-based methods to stop threats at every stage of an attack. The proactive approach, which involves identifying threats even before they execute, played a crucial role in obtaining a perfect AVLab score and helps the solutions consistently catch what other security vendors miss.
