Sophos adds two new distributors to UK lineup

Security vendor to offer solutions through Tech Data and Giacom

Sophos has expanded its distribution stable in the UK by partnering with Tech Data and Giacom.

The security vendor's new partnership with Tech Data will see the distributor deliver Sophos' full range of products and services and will provide channel partners with the "staffing and tools, such as in-depth sales, technical and renewal support, that they need to accelerate business growth".

The additions mean that Sophos now operates in the UK through three distributors, with Tech Data and Giacom sitting alongside an existing partnership with Arrow ECS.

Meanwhile, the Giacom partnership will also see its full suite of services offered, as well as providing partners with cloud software solutions available in their cloud market management portal and giving access to "highly-trained and certified sales, technical support and customer service teams and a wealth of sales, marketing, technical and training resources".

"We're delighted to announce the appointment of Tech Data and Giacom as official UK distributors -they join alongside Arrow ECS to complete our distribution line-up," said Jonathan Bartholomew, vice president of sales Northern Europe at Sophos.

"Both are well established to support the growing needs of their own and Sophos' channel partners.

"The onboarding of two additional distributors further advances our mission to provide partners with the best and most complete set of cybersecurity solutions in the market that help organisations defend against ransomware and other cyberattacks."

Both Tech Data and Giacom will become operational for Sophos partners in November.
