And our Partner Program continues to rack up the awards this year. In August, we received CRN’s highest honors in the 2013 Annual Report Card for product innovation in the Network Security Appliances category for Sophos UTM. We were once again listed to CRN’s 2013 Partner Program Guide and awarded a 5-Star Partner rating.

We continue to make strides with our Channel First strategy. Over the last 12 months, we’ve created a more flexible and generous Partner Program, providing partners with protection for deal registrations, attractive margins and joint lead generation initiatives.
