PLEASANTON, Calif., November 20, 2024 – SlashNext, the leader in next-gen AI cloud email and communications security, today announced the launch of the SlashNext MSP Partner Program to provide partners with advanced, AI-driven phishing protection to safeguard customers from sophisticated cyber threats and social engineering attempts across email, browser, and mobile messaging channels. Leading this initiative is Ned D’Antonio, who has been appointed SlashNext’s Global Head of MSPs. D’Antonio brings to his new role more than 34 years of experience building and leading cross-functional channel sales, and has held MSP leadership roles at a wide range of cybersecurity organizations including RSA, McAfee, and Mimecast. In this role, D’Antonio is focused on strengthening relationships with existing MSP partners while expanding the program to bring new partners into the fold.
Created for collaboration with partners worldwide, SlashNext’s MSP Partner Program is built with the richness and flexibility for MSPs to customize based on their own business model and customer requirements. With the new program, MSPs and MSSPs can leverage operational program benefits such as a multi-tenant customer management portal, real-time detection APIs, and customized enablement designed to accelerate time to value for both MSPs and their customers.
“At SlashNext, we have built our industry-leading email, web, mobile and messaging security solutions with MSPs in mind,” said Patrick Harr, CEO, SlashNext. “We are committed to being a leading partner and solution for MSPs/MSSPs, and we are proud to deliver increased revenue opportunities and support services through the formal launch of our MSP partner program. I’m thrilled to have Ned join the team to lead this important initiative, and under his guidance, we will continue to make significant investments so partners and their customers can count on us to protect them from ever-evolving phishing and social engineering threats.”
D’Antonio has worked specifically within the cybersecurity industry for more than 25 years and has a lengthy track record of developing highly successful channel and MSP programs within North America and globally. He is thoroughly attuned to the needs and operations of MSPs and MSSPs, and he builds programs that provide the customization and flexibility needed to enable partners to achieve high growth rates.
“SlashNext is building a program catered directly to the needs of their customers, the MSP, and the market,” said Ned D’Antonio, Global Head of MSPs, SlashNext. “We recognize that both our customers and partners have very unique needs, and we are working closely with them to solicit input and ensure our keen understanding of the channel and MSP markets is reflected in our program. Our goal is to make SlashNext the clear choice for MSPs and MSSPs not just because the platform offers the greatest efficacy on the market, but also for the rich partner benefits offered by our program.”
