Sophos has named ITHealth its ‘Healthcare Partner of the Year’ for UK and Ireland, again. This marks the fourth year running that ITHealth has maintained this coveted status and is further endorsement of the company’s drive to be recognised as best-in-class security provider to the NHS marketplace.

The award from Sophos recognises ITHealth for its outstanding performance and commitment to securing NHS organisations with Sophos’ next-generation cybersecurity solutions.

Commenting on the announcement, Brett Draper Managing Director at ITHealth said, “We are delighted to have received this award again. It clearly demonstrates our expertise in delivering Sophos solutions to NHS organisations and the service capabilities that we offer around it. I couldn’t be prouder of the ITHealth team whose commitment and dedication has helped us retain this title for yet another year.”

ITHealth has been uniquely focused on helping NHS organisations achieve security excellence for almost 30 years now and has a long-standing partnership with Sophos, accredited to the highest level of Platinum partner status.

“As cyber threats increase in volume and sophistication, it’s critical that frontline channel partners are armed with the industry’s best cybersecurity solutions, technical expertise and deep knowledge of the changing threat landscape needed to secure their customers,” said Kendra Krause, Senior Vice President of Global channels at Sophos. “This year’s winners have clearly differentiated themselves as trusted security advisors, and we’re thrilled to recognise their success.”

Craig Smith, Service Delivery Manager at ITHealth said, “Our partnership with Sophos continues to grow from strength to strength and this only comes with benefit to our customers. The award really pays testament to the close working relationship and trust that has been built between our team and Sophos over the years. We look forward to working with our NHS customers in the year ahead to help them understand how Sophos products will continue to play a vital role in their cyber defence strategies.”
