These annual awards are presented to an elite group of Palo Alto Networks partners that, in the last previous fiscal year, have excelled in multiple areas. Partners were selected using a point-based methodology, with points awarded for fiscal year 24 performance in the following areas:

Performance: Bookings growth, new customer growth, partner-initiated business, and deal volume growth

Technical Innovation: Demonstrated technical innovation via joint partner offerings and integrations

This is the third consecutive year TD SYNNEX has received both the global and North American awards and speaks to the strong strategic partnership with Palo Alto Networks that has grown over the years, particularly in the company’s North American and European regions. To better equip partners to leverage these solutions, TD SYNNEX offers comprehensive technical and enablement support, including several training opportunities through its industry-leading Cyber Range facility that serves as an Authorized Training Center (ATC). Members of the TD SYNNEX teams supporting Palo Alto Networks provide 24-7 post-sales support and include dedicated pre-sales engineers are qualified as “CYBERFORCE Heroes,” the highest engineering status recognized by Palo Alto Networks. The Design team creates custom solutions from the ground up, offering operational excellence and a true ‘win-together’ partner experience.

“We are honored to once again be recognized by Palo Alto Networks both globally and in North America as Distributor of the Year,” said Reyna Thompson, President, North America for TD SYNNEX. “Security continues to be one of the largest priorities for partners, according to our 3rd Annual Direction of Technology report. With the help of Palo Alto Networks, we can equip our resellers with everything they require to make the most of the growing opportunities in cybersecurity, cloud and AI. Our dedicated enablement and support teams work diligently to prepare, support and empower customers to have the best possible experience when they choose Palo Alto Networks.”

“In cybersecurity, especially, a trusted ecosystem of partners add value throughout the entire customer journey,” said Kristy Friedrichs, Chief Partnerships Officer at Palo Alto Networks. “Our partners, of all types, are critical to our ability to scale and grow in the future, delivering the AI-powered, comprehensive security platform approach that customers need. We’re proud to recognize TD SYNNEX as Global and North American Distributor of the Year and we look forward to continued innovation solving complex security challenges together.”
