At the end of April, ESET Southern Africa treated its top partners to a VIP getaway at Thaba Eco Hotel in Johannesburg for the 2024 Partner Awards.
For the 2024 Awards, ESET Southern Africa added two more categories to the awards namely the Distributor Recognition Award and the MSP Sub-Distribution Growth Recognition Award. The Distributor Recognition Award recognises distributors who support ESET’s growth strategy while the MSP Award recognises the managed service providers who expand ESET’s reach through the sub-distribution channel.
“We are incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work our partners consistently demonstrate,” said Carey van Vlaanderen, chief executive officer of ESET Southern Africa. “Their unwavering support allows us to deliver robust security solutions to businesses and individuals throughout Africa. This year’s awards ceremony is not just a celebration of their achievements, but of the strong, collaborative relationships we’ve built together.”
