Climb appointed Sophos distribution partner for Ireland
Climb Channel Solutions has announced a distribution partnership with cyber security vendor Sophos, making it the only authorised Irish distributor to offer the Sophos Threat Profile assessment service.
Under the deal – which is an extension of an existing North American partnership – Climb will distribute the entire Sophos suite of products including the managed detection and response (MDR) service that eliminates threats at speed, alongside defence across endpoint, firewall, e-mail and cloud.
These solutions will be backed by Climb’s reputation for speed, emerging tech expertise, and strong partner investment, working with the Sophos reseller and managed service provider (MSP) landscape.
Recent Climb research highlighted growing AI maturity across organisations, creating increased demand for AI-enabled cyber security services. For example, more than half (53%) of organisations said they have a clear AI strategy, and 55% were working with technology vendors on their AI journey. Against this backdrop, Climb expects Irish businesses to continue to adapt and embed AI security solutions across their cloud and network environments.
Brian Davis, VP of sales UK&I, Climb said: “Ireland’s cyber security landscape is evolving at pace with recent research showing growth of 13% per annum. Threats are becoming more sophisticated, and customer expectations are rising. Cyber security remains a key strategic growth area for Climb, and we are continuously looking to expand our portfolio in Ireland. Extending our successful relationship with Sophos into Ireland is a pivotal moment as we enhance our cyber security portfolio.
“As Irish organisations advance their AI capabilities at an unprecedented rate, Irish businesses must secure hybrid environments while embracing AI and digital transformation. As a dedicated Sophos distributor in Ireland, we’re bringing world-class cyber security, genuine partner support, and the kind of speed and access that helps you move fast and grow confidently.”
Jason Ellis, VP channel sales EMEA, Sophos said: “Expanding our presence in the Irish market is a reflection of the great relationship we hold with Climb in North America. Climb’s strong Irish channel ecosystem will allow us to expand our Irish market footprint, enhancing our ability to deliver AI-powered cybersecurity solutions to Irish businesses. We recognise Climb as an innovative leader, particularly in areas such as AI, where they’re providing unique channel solutions through their Skyward Project and AI Academy. These programmes help partners understand where AI and security intersect, delivering differentiated, yet complementary services to our Sophos portfolio.
“Climb’s knowledge and understanding of the Irish market, along with their ongoing investment, help us better support our partners and customers, enabling them to improve cyber resilience and respond effectively to emerging threats.”
