PASADENA, CA – May 12, 2025 – RealDefense, a leader in consumer cybersecurity and device optimization, today announced that its newly launched Partner Program has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue, demonstrating the power of SmartScan device telemetry to accelerate growth across the B2B2C ecosystem.
