We are looking forward to supporting our channel partners and MSPs in taking advantage of this great growth opportunity by providing a dedicated team of Sophos specialists and an award-winning MSP platform. Whether partners are looking to grow their traditional Sophos business, or their secure cloud offering then our extensive dedicate Sophos team of pre-sales, post-sales, solutions architects, marketing and business development people will work with partners to leverage the double-digit growth opportunity in the market.”
Gerard Allison, senior vice president for sales EMEA, Sophos, said, “Infinigate has a strong track record as a pan-EMEA distributor specializing in total cybersecurity solutions. With a best-in-class cloud platform, this agreement will enable us to scale our operations in the region, offering greater support for MSPs that are looking to protect themselves and customers from ever-increasing cyberthreats. The availability of our portfolio of innovative solutions including the newly launched Sophos Managed Risk, a worldwide vulnerability and attack surface management service, will enable channel partners to offer multi-layered protection to their customers and scale their business.”

Working with Infinigate in the UK supports this strategy, and I look forward to working with the team to expand our partner reach,” said John Mitchell, channel director EMEA North at Sophos.
