The cybersecurity industry is fiercely competitive. There are hundreds of IT vendors vying to provide a wide array of cybersecurity solutions and services. That makes selecting the right vendor to partner with a difficult decision. The range of products and technologies offered is a big part of that choice, but the effectiveness and quality of the partner programs must also be weighed.
Ultimately, the right vendor partner program is the one that offers the highest value while being best in meeting your needs. To that end, CRN assembled its annual Partner Program Guide (PPG), which delves into the distinctive strengths of each program, highlighting the vendors who exhibit unwavering dedication to the IT channel.
In its 2024 edition, CRN evaluated 280 IT vendors looking at financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification programs, and technical guidance. It only confers its 5-Star Partner Programs rating for those partner programs that surpass expectations in fostering robust, lucrative and prosperous channel partnerships.
Celebrating 15 Years of Partner Program Success
For the 15th consecutive year Sophos has been recognized by CRN with a prestigious 5-Star PPG award in the security vendor category. At Sophos, striving to be “channel-best” is not just a motto, it's part of who they are.
Reaching that milestone for fifteen consecutive years is more than just an achievement for Sophos. It reflects the company’s perseverance and ability to adapt, providing customers with the ultimate protection against modern threats.
Moreover, the Sophos team keeps their partners in mind while building its products and services. From development and operations to sales, marketing and support they are committed to equipping partners of all sizes with the necessary tools and knowledge to drive bottom-line revenue.
One major improvement made within the Sophos Global Partner Program over the last year was revamping business operations to achieve best-in-class systems and processes. This change will support ongoing partner growth, establish a more adaptable foundation to interact with customers and partners, and drive innovation at a faster pace across various aspects of the business.
Sophos remains committed to providing cybersecurity as a service, MDR, incident response services, and innovative threat solutions that streamline security. Sophos will continue to educate partners about the significant advantages of increasing their range of threat protection services. That creates lucrative revenue opportunities for partners while supporting their success protecting customers from the ever-present, evolving cyberthreat.
