We’re proud to announce that for the 12th consecutive year, Sophos has been recognized with a prestigious 5-Star Award in the 2025 CRN® Partner Program Guide.

The 5-Star Award is an elite recognition granted to companies that have built best-in-class partner programs designed to foster lasting, profitable, and successful channel partnerships. 

For the 2025 edition, CRN’s research team evaluated vendors based on criteria such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

“Being featured on the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation, and supporting mutual success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers. The guide provides deep insight into the distinctive value of each partner program so solution providers can make strategic partnership decisions with confidence.”
