Malwarebytes Partners
Like most security vendors, Malwarebytes works through a partner ecosystem in addition to selling direct. Partner programs typically split into a few categories based on how the partner interacts with customers. This page is a general orientation to those categories, not an official partner directory.
The typical partner categories
- Managed service providers (MSPs), who run day-to-day security operations on behalf of client businesses — see our MSP overview
- Resellers, who sell licenses and sometimes bundle basic support without full managed operations — see our reseller overview
- Strategic and technology partners, who integrate products or co-develop go-to-market plans — see our strategic partner overview
Why vendors structure programs this way
Splitting partners into tiers lets a vendor offer different pricing, support access and enablement resources appropriate to what each partner type actually does. An MSP that manages hundreds of endpoints needs different tooling access than a reseller that mostly processes purchase orders.
What to verify before signing up as a partner
- Confirm current program tiers and requirements directly on Malwarebytes' official partner pages.
- Ask about margin structure, deal registration and minimum commitments.
- Understand what technical enablement and training is included versus paid separately.
- Clarify support escalation paths for your end customers.
Frequently asked questions

No. This site is independent and not affiliated with Malwarebytes. For official partner applications, go through Malwarebytes' own channels.
What's the difference between an MSP partner and a reseller?
Broadly, MSPs manage security operations on an ongoing basis for their clients, while resellers primarily handle the sale and sometimes light support of licenses.
Do partner terms change often?
Vendor partner programs are commonly updated; always check the current official terms rather than relying on older secondhand summaries.
