According to CRN, the “Tech Innovator Awards celebrate the most groundbreaking products and services in the IT channel that are chosen by CRN staff. These products are crafted by vendors that are channeling IT transformation and empowering solution providers, and their customers, with groundbreaking offerings”. The CRN Product of the Year Awards “recognize the best-in-class products and services in the IT channel. Products and services featured on this list were chosen by partners themselves and exemplify the IT channel’s top offerings based on technological innovation, financial opportunity, and customer demand.” That’s Cisco Secure. We take innovation seriously. Our cloud-native platform, Cisco SecureX, along with our integrated portfolio is leading the industry and helping customers deliver business results, securely – while being channel partner friendly.

These CRN awards come on the heels of exciting announcements we made during Partner Summit Digital around Cisco SecureX our XDR capabilities, our approach & SASE solution, strides in helping customers achieve Zero Trust, and our simplified security portfolio re-naming.

 

I hope you’ll join me in celebrating this good news and let’s all continue to look forward to a bright future with Cisco Secure.
