IT security and data protection firm Sophos has announced the
winners of its International Partner Awards 2009. The prestigious
annual awards, which recognize the achievements and commitment of
top channel business partners, took place on Monday 5 October.
The ceremony was held at Waddesdon manor, near Aylesbury in the
UK. The grand house, in the style of a 19th-century French château,
was built for the Rothschilds and houses an impressive collection
of French furniture, paintings and decorative arts. Invitees were
given a private tour of the main house prior to the award
dinner.
With top accolades going to NetXactics for Business Partner of
the Year and Secureway for Strongest New Business Partner, the
awards ceremony was an opportunity for Sophos to thank its global
network of channel partners for a successful year and recognize
