COPENHAGEN, Denmark, and PARIS, France, January 13, 2025 — Heimdal, a top European cybersecurity company, is teaming up with Watsoft, a French IT distributor focused on Managed Service Providers (MSPs).
This partnership will help MSPs in France deal with today’s growing cybersecurity challenges by simplifying how they manage security and offering reliable tools from a trusted European provider.
Making Cybersecurity Easier for MSPs
MSPs face a lot of pressure from rising cyber threats and rules about protecting data locally.
With this partnership, Heimdal and Watsoft will provide tools that are easy to use, secure, and scalable, so MSPs can focus on growing their businesses.
The benefits include:
- Trusted European tools: Reducing dependence on non-European vendors.
- Saving time: Automated updates and a single dashboard for all security tasks.
- Stronger protection: Stopping threats before, during, and after attacks.
- Flexibility for all sizes: A system that works for businesses big and small.
Watsoft’s network of nearly 3,500 resellers in France and French-speaking areas makes it easy for MSPs to access Heimdal’s solutions.
A Shared Vision for Growth
Oleg Bivol, CEO and Co-founder of Watsoft, said:
“With Heimdal, we’re solving two key problems MSPs face today: making cybersecurity easier to manage with a single, proactive solution and offering a dependable European alternative to rising cyber threats.
“Our partnership provides MSPs with the tools they need to protect critical systems while cutting down on day-to-day operational demands. Together, we’re delivering solutions that address the challenges MSPs face and emphasize the strength of European innovation.”
Ken Yearwood, VP of Sales at Heimdal, said:
“This partnership is an important step in our five-year plan to grow Heimdal’s presence in France.
“Watsoft’s deep experience in the MSP market and their strong relationships with partners over the past 20 years make them the perfect choice to bring our European cybersecurity platform to French MSPs.
