It enables partners to manage the complete end-customer subscription lifecycle from an automated platform that is provided and supported by Ingram Micro.

Ingram Micro vice president of strategy and corporate development Michael Kenny says, “Our customers are eager to adopt more manageable and cloud-compatible software security solutions and Perimeter 81 meets this growing demand.

Kenny says, “We are excited to broaden the portfolio of cloud services by adding Perimeter 81 to our Cloud Marketplace, which is now being used by more than 55,000 technology partners around the world to manage nearly four million fully-automated seats.

Perimeter 81's distribution agreement with Ingram Micro enables resellers to partake in the critical cybersecurity market with software-defined Security as a Service solutions.
