ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is thrilled to announce its latest accolade at the 17th Annual Reseller Choice Awards in Canada.

Accepting the award was Zoey Dimitrova-Chappell, Director of Marketing at ESET Canada.

Every year, the Reseller Choice Awards aim to provide recognition for vendors and distributors in the IT sector. Winners are selected following a national survey of qualified vendors; those with the most votes from the channel community win.

"This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to our valued channel partners and reinforces our mission to provide multilayered and innovative security solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of organizations."

Bonneau also spoke about prevailing IT trends, emphasizing the importance of threat intelligence in cybersecurity solutions. He highlighted what sets ESET apart in this domain, particularly its dedication to providing comprehensive threat intelligence, which forms the foundation of its security offerings.
