Comodo, the world’s leader of next-generation cybersecurity announced a partnership with Sovaton, a value-added distributor (VAD) with a sole focus on IT security solutions to protect and defend IT networks, data management and compliance. Together Comodo and Sovaton will bring Comodo’s entire range of cybersecurity solutions to the MSP ecosystem.





Sovaton Partners with Comodo for Multiple Cybsersecurity Solutions with a Layered Security Approach


Cybersecurity is continuously changing, and we are always looking at solutions in the market. We understand that the traditional break-fix reseller model won’t grow business and the transition to a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and selling managed services presents a great opportunity for Value Added Resellers (VARs) to build additional revenue streams and improve margins. It’s no longer an option for MSPs, VARS and other channel partners to sell cybersecurity, it’s important that those entering the cybersecurity space understand what a solid security stack should entail. It’s more than simply switching antivirus, a well-rounded security portfolio along with trust can build new capabilities to deliver managed services. Comodo delivers solutions that address a layered security approach,” said Lisa Rice, General Manager at Sovaton.



Sovaton will offer Comodo’s Dragon platform with AEP, which is a complete cloud-native framework that delivers a zero-trust architecture to protect and defend endpoints. Its patent-pending auto containment technology has active breach protection that neutralizes ransomware, malware and cyber-attacks. The auto containment runs an unknown executable in a kernel API virtualized mode, thereby offering attack surface reduction (ASR) which neutralizes ransomware attacks.



The Dragon Platform also utilizes a Default Deny security posture with Default Allow usability to provide a most comprehensive protection against zero-day threats, while having no impact on end-user experience or workflows. Lisa said, “The best thing about the Dragon platform is its ability to stop and roll back ransomware, coupled with guaranteed four-hour SOC turnaround on threat determination should AI methods not succeed. While no security vendor can guarantee to stop zero-day malware from entering an environment, Comodo’s approach in auto containment is the strongest we have come across yet.”

In addition, Comodo’s Valkyrie analyzes and gives a trusted verdict for every file – no other company will analyze and give trusted verdict for 100% of files on a network. Comodo’s platform shares intelligence and is therefore more secure than disparate products that claim best of breed but don’t share information. Comodo has architected its cybersecurity product to maximize intelligent sharing between every component of the platform, therefore providing superior security.



Lisa continued, “Offering the right cybersecurity solutions to our channel partners to stay ahead of cyberthreats is key to enabling MSPs and MSSPs to help the SMB market. Keeping abreast of market trends and evaluating solutions is part of our strategy. We looked at various managed detection and response (MDR) solutions, fully managed SOC services, security monitoring, and endpoint and email protection platforms. Comodo checks the boxes of the areas we want to handle. Plus, the onboarding process has given us peace of mind that we have selected a quality vendor.”

Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “Our partnership with Sovaton was born when they were in the process of rebranding, analyzing their product set, restructuring underperforming products, and nailing down specific drivers to move with market dynamics. Promoting Comodo’s solutions will help them attract new prospects and expand their network while driving the importance of cybersecurity.”
