For the second consecutive year it was awarded the status of 'Champion' in Canalys' Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix 2020
ESET, a global leader in the cybersecurity market, has been awarded 'Champion' status in the Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix 2020 of Canalys, for the second consecutive year, improving its position thanks to growth and expansion outside European borders.
Canalys is a technology market analysis company, specializing in the channel segment, which provides guidelines for the future of the sector by looking beyond traditional business models. The Canalys Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix evaluated 17 vendors based on their channel and market performance over the past 12 months. Canalys creates the Leadership Matrix by combining partner assessments, through the Vendor Benchmark and an independent analysis of vendors, based on certain parameters including investments, strategy, market performance and execution.
ESET achieved the highest score in the benchmarks related to the categories of product availability and supply and ease of business development. ESET's improved position was driven primarily by the announcement of a new MSP qualification program to drive business growth across more than 7,000 Managed Service Providers, as well as positive partner feedback based on their support and satisfaction of customer needs. Overall, the collaborative approach has allowed ESET to operate in an innovative and efficient way from a global cybersecurity perspective.
ESET was one of the first vendors to achieve Champion status, and one of four to be reappointed, along with Cisco, Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet. The Champions achieved the highest scores in the Canalys Vendor Benchmark, united by the improvement and simplification of indirect sales processes and the commitment to increase the share of turnover through the channel.
Champions must also demonstrate that their investments and channel strategies are sustainable into the future.
Ignacio Sbampato, Chief Business Officer of ESET commented: "We have always been a channel-focused company and our partners know it, so this recognition for the second time confirms that we are doing a great job together, based on an honest and direct approach, aimed at creating strong and lasting collaborations on an international level. We are constantly innovating and improving our offerings, and it is extremely gratifying to know that our partners respect us and that our commitment to increase support for MSPs is appreciated. A safer internet experience for everyone is our main mission based on the strong relationship with our partners".
