Cybersecurity firm Sophos has announced a strategic partnership with Pax8, the leading cloud commerce marketplace.
Through this collaboration, Pax8’s network of more than 40,000 managed service providers (MSPs) gains access to the most comprehensive portfolio of cybersecurity solutions. MSPs can now obtain best-in-class cybersecurity solutions from a single vendor, including Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Sophos Endpoint powered by Intercept X, and Sophos Firewall.
This revolutionizes opportunities for channel partners to streamline operations, simplify billing and significantly reduce the complexity of cybersecurity management across customers.
“Sophos and Pax8 are strongly aligned in our mission to empower MSPs with best-in-class end-to-end security services and products while simplifying lifecycle management of these solutions and reducing operational overhead. MSPs want to align with vendors who are easy to work with and this agreement will make it even easier for MSPs to work with Sophos, something we’ve long been committed to,” said Joe Levy, CEO of Sophos.
“With cybersecurity, speed and innovation are essential for defending against attackers. This partnership with Pax8 accelerates MSP access to critical cybersecurity tools, enabling them to better protect their customers in an increasingly complex and volatile threat landscape.”
Sophos and Pax8 Partnership benefits
The Sophos and Pax8 partnership benefits MSPs by driving new revenue opportunities with a comprehensive security portfolio on the Pax8 Marketplace, reducing overhead costs through simplified procurement and billing, enhancing partner support with coordinated enablement and training, and providing 24/7 security for Microsoft Defender customers via Sophos’ MDR service.
“MSPs today need solutions that align with the way they operate—cloud-first, flexible and easy to manage at scale. Pax8 is revolutionizing the way MSPs access and deploy cloud-based solutions, and cybersecurity is an important piece of the overall stack,” said Scott Chasin, Chief Executive Officer of Pax8.
“By bringing Sophos’ innovative security offerings to our marketplace, Pax8 is providing our partners with access to enterprise-grade security solutions for their SMB customers in a way that simplifies management, reduces risk and drives profitability.’’
The Sophos offering will be available on the Pax8 Marketplace starting February 28, 2025.
