Sophos
voted industry-best by solution providers across five categories and all 20
subcategories.
In
an effort to provide best-practice solutions for its customers, Duxbury
Networking aligns itself with OEMs that are recognised as innovators and
leaders in their field. This was recently displayed when Sophos, a global
leader in next-generation cybersecurity, once again swept the CRN® Annual
Report Card (ARC) Awards.
CRN
ARC Awards recognise best-in-class vendors for boosting IT channel growth
through technology innovation and partner strategy. Winners are determined
based on the results of an invitation-only survey, conducted by The Channel
Company, of more than 3 000 North American solution providers. 82 vendor
partners were evaluated.
Sophos
is CRN’s most honoured award winner for the second consecutive year, reigning
as industry-best in five categories – extended detection and response, endpoint
security, network security, cloud security, and data security. It also ranks
highest across all 20 of the product innovation, managed and cloud services,
support, and partnership subcategories.
“In
today’s cyberthreat landscape, it’s no longer a question of ‘if or when’ an
organisation will be attacked, but now ‘how many times’,” says Erin Malone,
Sophos senior vice president of Americas sales. “Sophos is committed to
providing solution providers with advanced technology, actionable threat
intelligence from Sophos X-Ops, and critical managed security services needed
to defeat cyberattackers targeting their customers.”
Malone
adds that cybercriminals are active 24/7, evasive and persistent, and Sophos
therefore works closely with partners like Duxbury, to ensure they are also
supplied with this knowledge through resources, extensive training and
detection and response services.
Sophos
delivers the most comprehensive and integrated portfolio of cybersecurity
solutions and managed security services to protect against ransomware and other
advanced cyberthreats. Award-winning offerings – including Sophos Managed
Detection and Response, Sophos Intercept X with XDR, Sophos Firewall, Sophos
Cloud Native Security, and Sophos ZTNA – are easily managed in the cloud-native
Sophos Central platform. They’re also part of the Sophos Adaptive Cybersecurity
Ecosystem, where they share real-time threat intelligence for faster and more
contextual and synchronised protection, detection and response.
“Sophos
continues to demonstrate its status as an industry leader through the
development of technology that not only keeps pace with current threats, but
furthermore anticipates these threats. This knowledge and expertise is
recognised by the industry, and acknowledged through awards like the CRN®
Annual Report Card (ARC) Awards,” says Ross Anderson, Sophos Product
Development Manager at Duxbury Networking.
