“We’re honored that both CRN and Channel Partner Insight have recognized Sophos’ channel-first, channel-best approach and commitment to continuous innovation,” said Erin Malone, vice president, North American channel sales at Sophos. “According to the 2020 SophosLabs Threat Report, cybercriminals are targeting organizations’ management tools and trusted partners’ systems to disseminate ransomware attacks more broadly. To ensure partner success in this environment and protect partners and their customers from these cyber threats, Sophos is dedicated to driving innovation to offer industry leading solutions and create new growth and revenue opportunities for partners.”

These awards represent the gold standard of accomplishment for channel-best cybersecurity solutions.

It’s further recognized for setting the industry standard in cybersecurity with its channel-first approach in the Channel Innovation Awards.

The wins build on Sophos’ recent CRN Tech Innovator and Channel Partners Top Gun 51 titles.
