Markham, Ont.— March 23, 2026 — ESET Canada announced the winners of its 2025 Canadian Partner of the Year Awards, recognizing the outstanding performance, growth, and innovation of its reseller ecosystem. In a milestone year marking ESET Canada’s 10th anniversary, partners played a key role in driving momentum, accelerating cloud adoption, and expanding the reach of ESET Managed Detection and Response (MDR) across Canada.
2025 Highlights
In 2025, ESET Canada celebrated ten years of growth in the Canadian market, supported by a national team of professionals working closely with partners coast to coast. Together, ESET and its partners now protect more than 15,000 Canadian businesses and over 600,000 organizations globally.
52 percent of ESET Canada customers are now running in the cloud, supported by ESET’s Canadian-based data centre to ensure performance and data sovereignty. Despite a challenging first half, ESET Canada closed the year achieving its revenue targets and secured the largest deal in its history. Western Canada and the MSP business both delivered double-digit growth for the second consecutive year.
ESET Managed Detection and Response (MDR) remained ESET Canada’s fastest-growing offering for the second year in a row, supported by a national awareness campaign that significantly increased brand engagement.
“Our partners demonstrated resilience and leadership in 2025,” said Cameron Leetham, Director of Channel Partnerships at ESET Canada. “Their continued investment in higher-value security services like MDR is helping organizations across Canada strengthen their cyber resilience while driving sustainable growth.”
