Hills' distie brand Lan 1 wins Sophos rights

Lan 1 has been added as an Australian distributor to the channel of British security vendor Sophos.

"Hills will market, sell and support Sophos's entire portfolio of network, server and endpoint security solutions, including the latest version of Sophos Cloud," said the announcement from Sophos.

Lan 1, a specialist security distributor that joined the Hills stable of brands two years ago, will have Sophos products for sale immediately. The distie joins Distribution Central in the vendor's local channel.

"We have built a strong reputation with our security practice in Australia and we are very excited to be working with Sophos to provide its best-in-class products to our channel partners," said Daniel Lee, Hills head of CCTV, Surveillance and IT.

The announcement said that the deal "reiterates Sophos's commitment to the Australian reseller channel, providing partners with even greater access to Sophos products, as well as additional access to technical expertise and increased support".

The Oxford, UK headquartered Sophos claims to have 100 million users in 150 countries.

"We are very excited to announce our distribution partnership with Hills and believe this further reinforces Sophos's commitment to our Australian partner community and 'channel-first' approach to the market," said Mike Valentine, Sophos' senior vice president for worldwide sales.

In April, Lan 1 won the Distributor of the Year award from another security vendor, Axis Communications.
