protection, sales tools, training and certification and
other programs. For Sophos, partners are a critical part of the
company's ecosystem and the growth and success of their business is a top
priority.

opportunity to get our partners synchronized with our vision and strategy, our
product roadmap and training. It also gives them a chance to network face to
face with our team, and get to know and discuss the
company's partner strategy for accelerating profitable
growth together. We are becoming a disruptive leader in
the IT security market, and the company's dedication to the success of its
partners is second to none," added Chib.
