NAIROBI,Kenya— Global cybersecurity firm Sophos has unveiled a revamped partner program that merges its network with that of Secureworks, creating a single high-performance ecosystem aimed at accelerating business growth and enhancing cybersecurity service delivery.
The new Sophos Partner Program is designed to help partners scale faster, boost profitability, and deliver advanced security outcomes more efficiently.
The launch marks a significant milestone in Sophos’ partner engagement strategy, offering new tools, resources, and incentives that reflect the evolving needs of today’s cybersecurity providers.
“This program is built for how partners want to scale their business today,” said Chris Bell, Senior Vice President of Global Channel, Alliances and Corporate Development at Sophos.
“It offers a flexible and profitable path to growth, whether partners are expanding their managed services or launching advisory offerings.”
The unified program brings together more than 25,000 global partners under one platform, offering streamlined access to Sophos’ full security portfolio. From endpoint, cloud, and network security to next-generation SIEM and Managed Detection and Response (MDR), partners can now manage these services through the centralized Sophos Central platform.
This integration simplifies delivery and enables partners to provide comprehensive solutions at scale.
Research by Canalys indicates that for every dollar spent on cybersecurity products, customers spend an additional two dollars on services underscoring the growing demand for partner-led cybersecurity expertise.
Partners will also benefit from enhanced onboarding and training through Sophos Academy, improved access to customer success teams, and innovative tools like an AI-powered Sales Assistant, designed to simplify portal navigation and quoting processes.
Dave Peck, CEO of Trebron, said the changes position his company to “differentiate and win more deals on day one,” particularly in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing.
Andrew Campbell, Director of Security Category at Softchoice, echoed that sentiment, calling the program “a strong enabler of growth” that also “simplifies how we do business.”
Sophos’ unified partner initiative aims to deepen customer relationships, strengthen partner capabilities, and position its ecosystem as a leader in the competitive cybersecurity market.
