In a cybersecurity market where customer expectations and threat pressures are rising fast, partners need solutions that deliver measurable outcomes — stronger protection, simplified operations, and profitable service growth. Managed detection and response continues to lead that transformation, and today, that impact has been recognized by the channel community itself.

We’re delighted to share that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Sophos MDR a winner in the 2025 Products of the Year Awards, earning the top spot in the Security – Managed Detection and Response: Revenue and Profit subcategory.

The CRN Products of the Year Awards spotlight new or upgraded products that “deliver impactful benefits to solution providers and their customers,” and this year’s winners “have all demonstrated their commitment to meeting the ever-evolving needs of the IT channel through product innovation and technical advances.”

Finalists were selected by the CRN editorial team across 32 technology categories and then rated directly by solution providers with hands-on experience using the products. Winners were chosen across each product category as well as three subcategories: technology, revenue and profit, and customer need.

Sophos MDR earned its recognition thanks to the outcomes partners continue to deliver: outstanding cybersecurity outcomes, predictable recurring revenue, strong margins, and consistently high customer satisfaction powered by 24/7 expert-led threat detection and response.

Sophos MDR provides 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response delivered by expert analysts who act as a true extension of a partner’s security team. With flexible service tiers, broad third-party telemetry support, and seamless integration with Sophos solutions, partners can expand their managed services portfolio while improving customer security outcomes.

“The 2025 CRN Products of the Year Award winners represent a bold class of innovators dedicated to delivering standout products and features that drive real results for channel partners and their customers,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “These honorees were chosen by solution providers who work with the products daily—making their insight a powerful guide for partners seeking to strengthen their portfolios. We applaud each winner and eagerly anticipate the continued innovation they’ll bring to the industry.”

We’re grateful for the solution providers who rated Sophos MDR so highly — and for the partnership and trust that make achievements like this possible.

The 2025 CRN Products of the Year Awards will be featured online at www.CRN.com/poty on Dec. 1.
