Info-Tech Research Group Recognizes Sophos as a 2025 Info-Tech Innovator of the Year Award Winner
Sophos, a global leader of innovative security solutions for
defeating cyberattacks, has been recognized as a winner of the 2025 Info-Tech
Awards by Info-Tech Research Group, a global leader in IT research and advisory,
for “Innovator of the Year.”
The Info-Tech Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in IT, recognising
both individual leaders and organizations that have demonstrated exceptional
leadership, innovation, and impact. The Info-Tech Innovator of the Year Award
recognizes organizations that have implemented groundbreaking IT initiatives to
drive organizational success, leveraging technology in innovative ways to solve
challenges, enhance efficiency, or set new industry standards.
The Sophos team was recognized for their channel partner focused
initiative, which transformed the experience across quoting, ordering,
fulfillment, and renewals. The objective for the technology team was simple but
bold: make it easier for partners to do business with Sophos, even as the
company scaled rapidly through growth and post-M&A integration.
This channel initiative delivered measurable results across
efficiency and partner success, positioning Sophos as the cybersecurity vendor
of choice by making it easier for partners to grow their business. One
distributor noted, “The new automation and portal enhancements are a
game-changer. We can process quotes and transactions much faster and with fewer
errors, which frees our team to focus on customers instead of admin.”
“The innovation for this project extended beyond a single tool,
into the orchestration of multiple interconnected capabilities to create a
seamless, partner-first journey,” said Tony Young, CIO Sophos. “The initiative
had a broad impact beyond Sophos, shaping partner expectations for what
improving the partner experience looks like in cybersecurity and setting new
benchmarks for the industry.”
Winners were selected from a competitive pool of hundreds of
candidates. The Innovator of the Year Award winners were determined by the
measurable impact and exceptional value the organization has achieved through
IT innovation.
“The 2025 Info-Tech Awards' Innovator of the Year category
honors organizations that turned new ideas into measurable outcomes, moving
from rapid pilots to scaled delivery,” says Tom Zehren, Chief Executive Officer
at Info-Tech Research Group. “This year’s winners solved defined business
problems, improved efficiency, and increased performance and competitiveness.
Together, these organizations show what’s possible when ingenuity meets
purpose.”
