Sofos has announced the launch of MSP Elevatea new initiative designed to strengthen the growth and competitiveness of managed service providers (MSPS) in the challenging current cybersecurity context. With the rise of directed attacks and the increase in their sophistication, companies are increasingly trusting managed services to ensure continuous protection, which has made managed detection and response (MDR) an essential offer for these partners.
In fact, according to the report Sofos Msp Perspectives 2024more than 80% of the MSPS already provides MDR services, a figure that shows the strategic importance of this approach. The new program MSP Elevate Born to respond to this reality, offering partners exclusive access to advanced solutions, economic benefits and centralized management tools.
Among the main benefits of the program, preferential access to the MSPS SOFHOS PACKAGE, which includes Premium Detection and Response Services to 24/7 incidents, expanded data storage and improved integration capabilities. In addition, the partners will be able to have a discount hardware package —Network-in-A-Box— that facilitates the unified network management through the central Sofos platform.
“MSP Raises drives the long -term growth of our partners by offering exclusive access to solutions, discounts, reimbursements and training to contribute the maximum possible value to their customers”, Said Chris Bell, senior vice president of Global Canal, Alliances and Corporate Development in Sofos.“As a channel -centered organization, we continue looking for ways to invest in the success of our partners”
The company reinforces its commitment to the channel with new commercial and technological advantages for MSPS
Competitive advantages for MSPS
The central Sofos platform stands as the axis of this new proposal, allowing MSPs to reduce up to 48% the daily time dedicated to the administration of multiple security systems. This releases key resources and minimizes the operational load, in an environment where the lack of internal experience in cybersecurity remains a common risk.
The program also contemplates reimbursements associated with growth, advanced training on SOFHOS solutions, and exclusive access to company events, such as Somos Summits, designed to share strategies and success cases with other leaders in the sector.
A proactive defense against ransomware
Another outstanding advantage is the operational flexibility: partners can choose between delegating to the provision of the MDR service or integrate it as support for their own equipment, especially during hours outside working hours. This capacity is critical, taking into account that 88% of ransomware attacks occur precisely in that period, according to the report Active Adversary 2025.
“This improved visibility accelerates detection and response to threats, while offering customers a greater return on investment adapting to the evolution of the technological environment”, Said Raja Patel, product director of Sofos.
Commitment to the channel and sustainable growth
MSP Elevate It is not an exclusive program, but it requires that the partners are part of the scheme MSP Flex and commit to minimum monthly consumption for a year. This formula seeks to ensure continuous access to the leading solutions of Sofos, such as Sofos Endpoint with Intercept X, Sopos Firewall and, of course, Sofos MDR, currently deployed in more than 18,000 managed environments.
With this new proposal, Sofos reaffirms its commitment to the channel, betting on a closer and more collaborative relationship with the MSPs to face together the challenges of a constantly evolving threat panorama.
