BitDefender™, an award-winning provider of anti-virus software and data security solutions, announced today that the company has achieved record growth in its North American Partner Program, increasing its number of reseller partners by over 400 percent since the program was formalized in November 2005.

In the last few months, BitDefender widened its global footprint with the establishment of a North American headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida , and a Canadian office in Toronto. BitDefender’s unique Partner Program was also put into place, offering resellers some of the best opportunities in the market to increase sales of BitDefender’s award-winning security solutions. This program supports resellers with 30 percent sales margins, no upfront financial commitment, and direct facilitation with BitDefender’s technically trained representatives. The rapid success of the BitDefender Partner Program was clearly achieved by coupling these exceptional partner offerings with the industry’s strongest security technology, winning corporate reputation and newly expanded North American presence.

“BitDefender stands apart from competing security vendors by consistently going the extra mile in updating and strengthening its technology to ensure that its customers and partners have the industry’s most secure solutions protection against the latest, most advanced security threats,” said Ginger Yerovsek, BitDefender’s North American director of Marketing and Sales. “This reputation has enabled us to quickly grow our business in North America and attract partners who realize the full potential of reselling BitDefender’s products. By offering our partners unique sales incentives, the growth of the BitDefender Partner Program has come with relative ease. We are confident that this rapid expansion in our list of quality resellers throughout the U.S. and Canada will result in tremendous new opportunities for BitDefender to further expand its market presence in the coming year.”

Today, BitDefender is trusted by over 41 million users worldwide and offers the industry’s most efficient line of anti-virus and data security defense.
