CrowdStrike announced an expansion of its Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) go-to-market strategy across Japan and Asia Pacific (JAPAC), increasing access to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and accelerating AI-driven cybersecurity transformation. Through expanded strategic partnerships with Dicker Data and Otsuka Corporation, this distributor-led aggregation model enables partners to onboard MSSPs at scale and deliver managed security services that bring AI-powered protection to SMBs. Building on this momentum, CrowdStrike?s distributor-led model enables select distributors to recruit and activate MSSPs across JAPAC, with flexible billing through distributor marketplaces.

This approach allows MSSPs to quickly build and deliver tailored offerings, expanding access to enterprise-grade security and meeting growing regional demand from SMBs. Otsuka Corporation enables SMBs to seamlessly strengthen their security with Rakuraku EDR Premier service, which combines the Falcon platform with SOC support services from Tayoreru Security Operation Center.
