Announcement posted by Sophos 07 Sep 2010

Sophos has today appointed information specialist IPSec as a Platinum Partner, the company’s most prestigious channel partner status, for Sophos’ broad range of security and control solutions.

According to Zoe Nicholson, Director of Channel Sales Asia Pacific at Sophos, the Platinum Partner status recognises resellers that are exceptional in meeting sales targets, maintaining a well-trained support team and have the technical skills to architect solutions with Sophos products.

“Sophos has worked with the team at IPSec for over ten years and they’ve proven to be a complete value added reseller. IPSec offer a first-class support team that thoroughly understands the requirements needed to protect organisations against current and emerging security threats.”

Sophos Partner Program consists of three levels: Silver, Gold and Platinum. As a Platinum Partner, IPSec will enjoy exclusive benefits from Sophos including strong financial incentives, high-quality sales leads and access to advanced technical support.

According to David McDonald, Sales Director at IPSec, the caliber of technology in the Sophos products has witnessed Sophos become a strategic part of their security solution portfolio.

“We have always been impressed with the vision and expertly executed product evolution of the Sophos suite.  Consistent products enhancements through organic development and acquisitions ensure that Sophos is at the forefront of the industry.”

Another differentiator for IPSec is Sophos’ customer support which provides resellers with training, technical and sales support from a highly dedicated account management team.

“Our strategic relationship with Sophos ensures the very best end point security and data protection outcomes for our clients, with consistent reference sites as the norm. 

As an information security specialist, it is incumbent upon IPSec to have a deep perspective of the very best security technologies available and ensure that we maintain the top level service associated with our security specialists. Sophos fits the bill perfectly for us,” said McDonald.
