Sophos honours ANZ partners at 2025 awards

Sophos has named the winners of its Australia-New Zealand Partner Awards 2025 at the Sophos Asia-Pacific/Japan Partner 100 event in Thailand, recognising outstanding achievement in the delivery and sale of its cybersecurity products and solutions.

The awards honour partners who made significant contributions between April 2024 and March this year, with three major accolades presented to top-performing companies.

ASI Solutions claimed the ANZ Partner of the Year Award 2025 for its collaborative approach to developing integrated security solutions using Sophos products, particularly Managed Detection and Response.

"We're incredibly proud to again receive the Sophos ANZ Partner of the Year Award," Nathan Lowe, managing director of ASI Solutions, said.

ASI Solutions won the award in 2023.

"This recognition speaks directly to the strength of our partnership with Sophos, our outstanding team, and our ongoing commitment to helping Australian businesses proactively strengthen their cybersecurity," Lowe added.

Adelaide's Blackbird IT was named ANZ MSP of the Year 2025, recognised for securing new customers and achieving outstanding growth with Sophos Managed Detection and Response.

Blackbird IT director Ben Corbett said the company's collaboration with Sophos' Managed Detection and Response (MDR) integration team on testing Jamf Protect, which he said established "a new benchmark in the provision of data insights and feedback".

New Zealand data communication product specialist Snapper Network Distributors received the ANZ Distributor of the Year 2025 award, having achieved the highest year-on-year revenue growth from sales of Sophos' next-generation products.

Sophos senior director of channel sales for Asia Pacific and Japan Chad Cleevely underscored the importance of channel partnerships to the company's success.

"We are deeply grateful to all our partners for their steadfast support in driving the growth of Sophos solutions over the past year," Cleevely said.
