In a world where ransomware is no longer a distant threat but a daily headline, Sophos brought together Nigeria’s top cybersecurity minds for one clear mission: defend smarter, together.

On a vibrant Lagos morning, over 90 cybersecurity professionals gathered for the Sophos Experience Partner Roadshow 2025, an annual cornerstone event for the company’s local channel partners.

More than just presentations and panels, it was a rallying cry for collaboration, innovation, and resilience in the face of evolving cyber threats.

A Shared Vision for a Safer Digital Future

With ransomware incidents spiking — accounting for 70% of attacks on small businesses and over 90% on mid-sized firms in 2024, according to the latest Sophos Threat Report — the stakes have never been higher.

“We’re not just talking products here,” said Prish Thaakar, director of Sales, Africa at Sophos.
“We’re talking about building a cybersecurity ecosystem that’s unified, intelligent, and ready for anything.”

Themed “Channel-best is not just a slogan, it’s our DNA,” the event spotlighted how Sophos is doubling down on its channel-first strategy, using tools like Sophos Central — a unified AI-powered platform backed by Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services — to secure the modern attack surface across endpoints, networks, email, and cloud.

Learning, Strategy, and a Few Big Wins

The day’s agenda was a rich blend of:

  • 📊 Product roadmaps & go-to-market insights
  • 🔐 Advanced threat detection strategies
  • 🎓 Tailored training for sales, marketing, and MSP teams
  • 💬 Interactive sessions and panel discussions

Partners also got a sneak peek into upcoming integrations between Sophos and Secureworks, following the 2025 acquisition — a move poised to reshape MDR and XDR services across global markets.

Recognising the Best in the Business

Sophos took time to celebrate its standout Nigerian partners, honouring them in categories like:

  • 🏆 Partner of the Year – Reliance Infosystems Limited
  • 🛡️ MDR Partner of the Year – ZetaWeb Business Solutions
  • 📦 Distributor of the Year – Mart Networks Solutions Limited
  • 📣 Campaign of the Year – OTIS Integrated Systems
  • 🌟 Outstanding Contributor – Pacific Solutions Technologies Limited
  • 🤝 Customer Success of the Year – Casper Technologies Limited

“These awards aren’t just plaques. They reflect real commitment, deep expertise, and a shared goal of making Nigeria’s digital landscape safer,” Prish added.

What’s Next for Sophos and Nigeria’s Channel?

With the recent appointment of Chris Bell as Global SVP of Channel Strategy and the launch of MSP Elevate — a growth accelerator for managed service providers — Sophos is clearly laying long-term foundations across Africa.

MSPs already defending 250,000+ customers globally now have new tools, support teams like Sophos Partner Care and Customer Success, and deeper integration with industry-leading threat intelligence via Sophos X-Ops and Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit (CTU).

Conclusion

Lagos 2025 wasn’t just a roadshow. It was a strategic checkpoint — reminding the industry that no one wins alone in the cyber trenches. With Sophos and its Nigerian partners working hand in hand, the country’s digital future looks a whole lot more secure.
