First up the introduction so that I can be sure that everyone knows who’s who in this article. Sophos is a security company that specializes in providing antivirus, anti-spam, spyware removal software, network and internet security. Or to put it simply, it is an IT security and data protection company. D&H distributing is a leading North American technology distributor that provides a variety of resources to empower solution providers and consultants, delivering a broad selection of SMB categories, products and applications.

With the introduction out of the way, here’s the news. Sophos has announced that it entered a partnership with D&H Distributing with the aim of tackling the security challenges small and midsize business (SMB) have to face. By partnering with D&H Distributing, Sophos can expand its reach in the SMB market. Sophos gains access to D&H Distributing’s extensive channel and partner network while D&H gets to add Sophos’ threat management and data protection software solutions to its offering.

“As our momentum in the SMB market continues to grow, D&H will allow us to gain access to a broader network of resellers in North America,” said Matt Fogelgren, director of North American channel sales at Sophos. “D&H are experts in the SMB market, and their experience and knowledge selling IT solutions and supporting resellers make it a perfect fit for Sophos. This agreement opens up new opportunities for both Sophos and D&H, and we look forward to working together to meet the growing demand for security solutions.”

“Threats and malware are evolving faster than ever, and companies are struggling to protect users and data from these increasingly complex security threats,” said Rob Eby, vice president of purchasing at D&H Distributing. “We are committed to delivering solutions through our reseller relationships that ensure the security and protection of the end-users’ business environments. Sophos’ innovative solutions meet the growing needs of businesses through a simple and robust portfolio, protecting SMB employees and their data, regardless of where they are or what device they are using.”
