westcon-comstor wins 2024 CrowdStrike global partner award

Westcon-Comstor has been named the 2024 CrowdStrike Global Distributor Partner of the Year, as announced at CrowdStrike's Global Partner Summit, Fal.Con 2024, held in Las Vegas. The distinction acknowledges Westcon-Comstor's exceptional performance in promoting the adoption of the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform. This has been achieved through the company's extensive network of over 12,000 channel partners operating across Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions.

The partnership between Westcon-Comstor and CrowdStrike began in EMEA at the beginning of 2021. Within the first two years of the collaboration, over 500 new partners were onboarded, with revenues from the relationship surpassing the USD $100 million mark. Building on the success in EMEA, the partnership extended to APAC earlier this year with a distribution agreement that includes the Southeast Asian markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The Global Partner Summit hosted by CrowdStrike serves as a gathering point for the company's partner ecosystem to discuss strategies for scaling businesses and preventing customer breaches via the Falcon platform. The awards programme recognises those partners that have made significant contributions to business outcomes and innovation, thereby strengthening customer relationships and exceeding revenue goals.

David Grant, CEO of Westcon-Comstor, expressed his pride in receiving the accolade. "It's an honour to be named the 2024 CrowdStrike Global Distributor Partner of the Year," he said. "CrowdStrike is a strategically important vendor for us due to the strength of its technology portfolio and the crucial role it plays in the cybersecurity ecosystem. This award demonstrates both the vitality of our relationship and the significance of the role played by Westcon-Comstor in scaling the adoption of the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform."

Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, also extended his congratulations to the award recipients. "Congratulations to all the 2024 Partners Award winners," he stated. "Stopping breaches is a shared mission, and our partners play a critical role. We celebrate partners who drive innovation, foster growth, and scale successfully to keep global organisations ahead of advanced threats."

Westcon-Comstor's recognition as the 2024 CrowdStrike Global Distributor Partner of the Year highlights its effectiveness in working with channel partners to expand the reach and impact of CrowdStrike's cybersecurity solutions. The collaboration between the two companies has proven to be beneficial, facilitating the adoption of advanced cybersecurity measures across various regions and markets.
