Sophos Announces New Sales Initiative for MSPs

Sophos, a UK-based cybersecurity company, has launched, “MSP Elevate,” a new business acceleration program for MSPs.

Benefits include access to Sophos MDR Complete premium service tier with 24/7 incident response, 1 year data retention, Sophos Network Detection and Response (NDR), and all Sophos integration packs; a discounted Network-in-a-Box hardware bundle that includes Sophos Firewall, Sophos Switch and Sophos Wireless Access Points; growth-based rebates; additional training; and access to various points of contact with the vendor.

“MSP Elevate enables MSPs to quickly deploy a comprehensive MDR service that eliminates blind spots by leveraging all available telemetry from across the customers’ environment,” said Raja Patel, chief product officer, Sophos. “This enhanced visibility accelerates threat detection and response while delivering improved return for customers on their existing technology investments.”

Partners can choose to have Sophos fully deliver the MDR service or to use Sophos to augment in-house teams, including for the provision of out-of-hours coverage. To access the program benefits, MSPs need to commit to a minimum monthly spend for a 12-month period. As a pre-requisite to joining MSP Elevate, partners need to be part of the MSP Flex program, which enables MSPs to offer Sophos solutions on a monthly billing basis.
