The list recognizes top vendors that have proven themselves to be forward-thinking technology providers offering solutions that support the growth and innovation of midmarket organizations. CRN and the MES Midmarket 100 are affiliate brands of The Channel Company.

MES defines the midmarket as an organization with an annual revenue of $50M-$2B and/or 100-2,500 total supported users or seats. Companies were selected based on their go-to-market strategy, how they serve the midmarket, and the strength of their midmarket product portfolios.

This includes delivering complete endpoint visibility, finding and managing OS and security vulnerabilities, enabling security teams to make real-time data-driven decisions, and delivering the tools needed to automate complex tasks with visual workflow editors and a new innovative AI engine, Cortex Copilot.

“The MES Midmarket 100 list recognizes key vendors that are invested in the growth and development of midmarket organizations. According to National Center for the Middle Market, there are nearly 200,000 U.S. middle market businesses that represent one-third of private sector GDP, employing approximately 48 million people,” said Adam Dennison, VP Midsize Enterprise Services, The Channel Company. “The midmarket is a major driver of our economy and that’s why I’m so proud of the vendors and executives identified on this elite list for their consistent commitment to helping midmarket organizations succeed and thrive. They should be applauded and commended for their dedication to this vital market segment.”

“Syxsense is dedicated to simplifying endpoint security and management for midsized organizations. We’re constantly working to deliver innovative new solutions, like our recent launch of Cortex Copilot, a powerful new AI engine that allows IT teams and security administrators to create endpoint management and security workflows seamlessly using generative AI,” said Ashley Leonard, founder and CEO of Syxsense. “Syxsense is leading the charge to enable organizations to see, manage, and secure every endpoint easily. Being recognized by CRN and the MES Midmarket 100 is further validation for our teams that we’re delivering solutions that resonate with the market and meeting the needs of midmarket stakeholders.”

The MES Midmarket 100 list recognizes today’s biggest IT movers and shakers who’ve set themselves apart as forward-thinking technology providers, supporting the growth and innovation of midmarket organizations.

PR Newswire | October 06, 2023

Global cybersecurity leader Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) has announced a complete redesign to the company's worldwide partner program. This re-design will accelerate business growth for partners and allow them to further deliver exceptional value to end customers. Eva Chen, CEO at Trend: Our partners have been an indispensable part of our extraordinary journey spanning over three decades. We anticipate the achievements still to come as we continue to strategically align with our partners to safeguard the digital world. As we introduce a new era of the channel with this completely re-designed partner program, I am proud to announce our joint mission to enable partners to become the most resilient cybersecurity companions and guide our customers through their security lifecycle. The program is built around the Trend Vision One™ platform, creating opportunities for partners to deliver services and assessments for both enterprise and SMB-focused partners. Customers are facing increased risks as threat actors derive greater monetary value from criminal activities. As cybersecurity demand grows, the need for in-house skills to protect data, companies, brands, industries and governments grows as well. Partners can close this gap by delivering value via crucial services: MSSP, MSP, SOCaaS, XDR, Incident Response, and much more. To address this need, Trend is improving the ability for partners to offer assessments to customers, including Cyber Risk Assessments, new additions of External Attack Surface, Cloud Posture, and Azure AD Assessments.

As we see growing complexity in the cybersecurity landscape, our partnership with Trend is a key element to our success in enabling business transformation. We're looking forward to giving more customers the tools they need to secure their organizations with confidence." As Trend and its partners have evolved together, so has another critical component: artificial intelligence, which enables partner analysts to understand the next threat alert, and the next opportunity for growth within customer accounts, further deepening a partner's value to their end customers. Jay McBain, Chief Analyst at Canalys: "Hybrid IT environments are growing in complexity, with managed security services serving as a major driver for the channel. At the same time, the channel is undergoing a shift towards cloud, services, marketplaces, incident response and consulting. It's great to see Trend Micro providing extensive support – including a well-balanced Partner Capability Model – that paves the way for partners to excel in managed services, by leveraging the power of generative AI."
