Dicker Data becomes distributor of Sophos

Dicker Data has inked a distribution deal with Sophos that will see Dicker Data distribute Sophos’ cybersecurity portfolio across endpoint, network, email and security operations, while supporting the continued growth of Sophos’ MSP business and services portfolio, including Managed Detection and Response (MDR), advisory services and incident response.

Through the partnership, Dicker Data will provide local sales, technical, enablement and go-to-market support to help partners build their Sophos capability, develop new cybersecurity opportunities and grow sustainable security practices.

The agreement also creates further opportunities for partners to expand into recurring revenue and managed security services.

The addition of Sophos also strengthens Dicker Data’s broader cybersecurity offering and provides its partner community with further opportunities to address customer requirements across prevention, detection, response and managed security.

Pennie Stevens, GM of software for ANZ at Dicker Data, said the addition of Sophos reflects the distributor's continued investment in cybersecurity as a strategic growth area for partners.

"Cybersecurity continues to be one of the most important priorities for our partners and their customers, and Sophos brings a comprehensive and highly relevant portfolio to help address that need," Stevens said.

"For our partners, this creates new opportunities to grow their security practice, expand managed services offerings and support customers with solutions that are practical, scalable and backed by a globally recognised cybersecurity brand.”

Marina Brook, director oaf channel and commercial sales ANZ at Sophos, said the partnership will play an important role in supporting Sophos’ next phase of growth across the region.

“Dicker Data brings the reach, capability and partner relationships we need to support the next phase of Sophos’ growth in ANZ," she said.

“As our business continues to evolve, so does the opportunity for our partners. Together with Dicker Data, we want to expand the Sophos partner ecosystem, create new opportunities across the market and help our partners build stronger, more profitable cybersecurity businesses.”

Dicker Data will formally introduce Sophos to its partner community through its 2026 TechX event series - which techpartner.news is the official media partner for - giving partners the opportunity to learn more about the partnership, meet the Sophos team and explore the opportunities available to grow their cybersecurity business.
