Palo Alto Networks has announced the winners of its 2025 Asia-Pacific and Japan Partner Awards at the Palo Alto Networks Partner Executive Kick-Off (PEKO). The annual awards recognise and celebrate the top partners of the year, those who have showcased outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional security solutions for joint customers.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fragmented cybersecurity landscape underscores the need for integrated platform solutions, a strategy that is advanced through strong partner and vendor collaboration. The annual PEKO event serves as a vital forum for partners to exchange knowledge, reflect on the past year and align on strategic priorities for the year ahead. With this year\u2019s theme, \u2018Accelerate Now\u2019, \u2013  the event is anchored in taking bold action and delivering growth at speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michelle Saw, Vice President, GTM Shared Services and Ecosystems, Asia-Pacific and Japan at Palo Alto Networks, said, \u201cAt Palo Alto Networks, our partner ecosystem is fundamental to our success and these awards give us the opportunity to recognise those driving consistent innovation and impact. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, particularly with cyber criminals increasingly adopting AI, the role of our partners becomes even more critical. We commend our partners for their efforts over the past year in enabling organisations to stay ahead of sophisticated cyber threats and strengthen their defences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s winners exemplify the impactful work our partners are doing across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region, in delivering and supporting solutions to our customers that help them manage cybersecurity more effectively today. The winners have demonstrated a proven track record across platform alignment, transformative outcomes, service excellence, AI innovation and market expansion and their success underscores the power of our partnerships. We are truly better together and I am grateful for the role each of them plays in driving stronger security outcomes for our customers in the region.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
