Sophos & Infinigate unite for strategic distribution deal in the UK

Cybersecurity firm Sophos has entered into a strategic distribution agreement with technology platform Infinigate. This move forms part of Sophos' ongoing expansion in the UK market.

Infinigate is a top distributor across EMEA, specialising in complete cybersecurity solutions and services. As Sophos' largest strategic distributor within this region, Infinigate will play a key role in promoting Sophos' growth within the UK. This agreement will grant partners and managed service providers (MSPs) the ability to access Sophos' entire portfolio, which comprises innovative managed services and solutions for endpoint, network, email, and cloud security.

The agreement will also empower Infinigate’s partners and MSPs to utilise Sophos’ new Partner Care programme. This programme aids partners by providing support on administrative and operational tasks. This service leaves partners free to focus their efforts towards selling and providing security for their customers using Sophos solutions.

The new distribution agreement is aimed at accelerating Sophos' growth while broadening its customer outreach. This is facilitated by Infinigate Cloud, allowing partners to avail themselves of an ecosystem of cloud-managed and professional services to keep their customers safe.

Justin Griffiths, MD of Infinigate UK&I, expressed his optimism, stating, “Sophos is an important addition to our UK portfolio of cybersecurity solutions, complementing and further enhancing our offering. It also builds on our 20+ years of successful relationship across Europe. We intend to support our channel partners and MSPs in seizing this great growth opportunity by providing a dedicated team of Sophos specialists and an award-winning MSP platform."

Gerard Allison, Senior Vice President for Sales EMEA, Sophos, highlighted Infinigate's solid performance record as a pan-EMEA distributor specialising in all-around cybersecurity solutions. He stated, “With a best-in-class cloud platform, this agreement will enable us to scale our operations in the region, offering greater support for MSPs looking to defend against increasing cyber threats. The access to our portfolio of innovative solutions will let channel partners provide multi-layered protection to their customers and boost their business."

The partnership reaffirms Sophos’ strategy to integrate distribution as a key part of their growth plans. John Mitchell, Channel Director, EMEA North at Sophos, noted, "Working with Infinigate in the UK supports this strategy, and I look forward to expanding our partner reach."

The strategic distribution agreement between Sophos and Infinigate marks a significant milestone in Sophos' expansion efforts in the UK market. By partnering with Infinigate, Sophos gains access to a leading distributor with a strong presence across EMEA, enhancing its ability to reach and support partners and MSPs. This collaboration not only accelerates Sophos' growth trajectory but also strengthens its position in the cybersecurity landscape by providing comprehensive solutions and services to customers. With a shared commitment to excellence and innovation, Sophos and Infinigate are poised to make a significant impact on the cybersecurity ecosystem in the UK and beyond.
