The initiative caters to Managed Service Providers (MSPs), resellers, systems integrators, and cyber insurance partners, offering a comprehensive, flexible, and profitable ecosystem.
Unified Portfolio Access and Scalable Growth Framework
The program merges Sophos’ and Secureworks’ ecosystems, providing partners with seamless access to a broad portfolio that includes endpoint, network, email, cloud security, XDR/MDR, Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), and next-gen SIEM solutions, all managed via Sophos Central. This integration allows partners to sell comprehensive cybersecurity solutions and advisory services, thus boosting revenue and profitability opportunities.
Moreover, the program supports diverse partner business models with revenue multipliers, volume discounts, and flexible billing options. MSPs can choose pay-as-you-go or a monthly commitment model (MSP Elevate). Resellers benefit from a tiered rewards program with special incentives at the Titanium level. Financial incentives and certification paths have been revamped for easier growth and skill development.
Enhanced Partner and Customer Success
Partners gain expanded access to Partner Care, Renewal, and Customer Success teams, plus free certification training for all partner employees. New resources help deepen customer relationships, accelerate solution adoption, and improve retention. Sophos Academy offers new MDR Guided Onboarding and sales quick-start certifications to enhance enablement.
Innovative Tools for Sales Efficiency
An AI Sales Assistant helps partners navigate portals, locate resources, and provides real-time sales insights. Improved portal features include guided quoting, device/license management, opportunity tracking, and compliance dashboards, simplifying sales processes and accelerating deal wins.
Growth and Differentiation Opportunities
The program empowers partners to build unique services that align with their business models and go-to-market strategies. This includes leveraging Sophos’ open platform to protect existing customer investments and extend solutions via integrated Secureworks Taegis platform capabilities.
Recognition of Partner Excellence
In line with the program, Sophos also announces awards recognizing partner achievements in MSP growth, MDR expansion, and customer value delivery, indicating a strong focus on partnership success and market impact.
In summary, Sophos’ Partner Program offers MSPs, resellers, systems integrators, and cyber insurance partners a comprehensive, flexible, and profitable ecosystem with access to advanced certifications, incentives, tools, and unified cybersecurity solutions to support growth, market differentiation, and superior customer outcomes.
