Cisco Names Avit Partner of the Year and Security Partner of the Year 2024

Vianen, October 28, 2024 – Avit, a network integrator and managed security services provider, has been named Cisco Netherlands Partner of the Year for the third time. Additionally, Avit received the award for Security Partner of the Year 2024.

Each year, Cisco Netherlands presents awards to partners who have achieved significant growth in specific areas or have distinguished themselves uniquely in the market. The awards underscore the successful collaboration between Avit and Cisco and recognize Avit's dedication to innovation and digital resilience.

Security Partner of the Year 

This is the first time Avit has received the Security Partner of the Year award. In recent years, Avit has invested heavily to further strengthen its position as a managed security services provider. Last summer, Avit became the first Cisco Gold partner to achieve the XDR (Extended Detection and Response) specialization. This is an innovative business solution to more effectively detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats.

In addition to making businesses digitally resilient, Avit also focuses on creating a cyber-secure world for everyone, starting with the youngest generations. Together with Hackshield, an innovative educational game, children learn about the possibilities and risks of the digital world. This initiative aligns with Avit's ESG policy, which aims to make a positive social impact.

Partner of the Year 

Avit has been named Partner of the Year Netherlands, just like in 2020 and 2022. The Partner of the Year award is a recognition of Avit's collaboration with Cisco. 

"We are incredibly proud of these two awards. They are a confirmation of the long and successful collaboration with Cisco and the energy we invest together in developing secure and innovative solutions. This recognition underscores our growth and ambition to support our customers even better as a managed security services provider. Avit has experienced strong growth in recent years and we are determined to continue this development in the coming years," says Hamid Abedini, Managing Director Netherlands at Avit.

"Avit has delivered an exceptional performance," says Dennis Veltman, Leader Partnerships at Cisco Benelux. "With their international presence and continuous innovation in services and solutions, they not only contribute in the Netherlands but also achieve worldwide success. Avit has thus grown from one of the smallest Gold Partners to a top three player."
