F-Secure has appointed Beta Distribution as its UK distributor for corporate resellers, with the security specialist distie focusing on larger projects assisted by MSPs rather than BAU operations.

The security vendor said it picked its partner based on Beta Distribution's strong technical expertise, making the distie able to offer corporate customers the support they need to roll out a live security strategy. Beta Distribution’s network of 3,000 resellers across the UK, including 150 MSPs, provided the perfect platform for F-Secure's endpoint IT security products.

“As with our established UK distributor, Prianto Ltd., the capability of Beta Distribution to provide strong technical support to its partners was a key factor for us in going ahead with this new distributor appointment," Keith Maskell, country sales manager for UK & Ireland at F-Secure, said.

"The F-Secure product range and roadmap has expanded greatly following major investments and we are excited to work with Beta Distribution to further expand our support and offerings to new partners and customers.”

Beta Distribution explained that teaming up with F-Secure offers a huge opportunity for the company, enabling it to add cyber security to the solutions and projects it's already delivering to large businesses.

"We are so impressed with the technical vision of the F-Secure product range and the advanced level of protection that is offered against modern IT security threats, Tony Howard, head of enterprise strategy, added. "We have a strong technical support capability, which we believe will be key to the value proposition we offer to our partners.”
