On May 20, the CrowdStrike Partner Symposium 2026 took place in Dubrovnik, gathering 155 leading cybersecurity business leaders from 83 world-class companies from Europe and other regions. The event was attended by executives and representatives of leading partner organizations working in the field of cybersecurity and the development of AI-oriented solutions.

The active implementation of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform in Europe is largely driven by the development of its partner ecosystem. Partners today play a key role in transforming cybersecurity approaches — from fragmented point solutions to a unified, platform-based protection model.

In the past three years, the MSSP partner segment has become one of the main growth drivers for the company: the total contract value in this area exceeded $1.3 billion by the end of the 2026 financial year. This confirms the market’s steady shift towards scalable platform solutions and long-term ecosystem models.

AWARD

Dmytro Tomashevsky, co-founder of iIT Distribution, received the Visionary Leadership award at the CrowdStrike Europe Partner Symposium.

This recognition is the result of consistent and profound work: strategic decisions, partnership development, daily attention to details, and the constant energy that the team invests in the company’s growth. Such achievements create real pride within the organization and confirm the correctness of the chosen course.

The iIT Distribution team is proud of the results achieved and the partnerships that have become part of this journey. We sincerely thank CrowdStrike for the trust, support, and shared vision of development.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this result, as we continue to move forward with the same energy, discipline, and confidence in the market we shape together.

It is a great honor to be recognized by CrowdStrike, one of the global leaders in cybersecurity. But what makes me even prouder is that this award is being received by a representative of a Ukrainian company.

iITD is a Ukrainian company that grew out of our market, our resilience, our energy, and our ability to keep moving forward even when circumstances are against us. Today, we operate on an international scale, develop a partner ecosystem across many countries, and demonstrate that Ukrainian business can be strong, professional, and highly visible on the European and global stage.

My special and most important gratitude goes to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

WINNERS

In Europe, system integrators, MSSP providers, and distributors are actively accelerating the transition of organizations to a unified security architecture. This approach not only enhances protection efficiency but also optimizes costs by consolidating diverse tools into a single ecosystem. As a result, the market is gradually moving towards a large-scale consolidation of cybersecurity solutions and companies entering new segments and regions.

In this context, the Europe Partner of the Year Awards 2026 recognizes organizations that contribute the most to this transition and establish new partnership model standards in the region.

Congratulations to the winners of the Europe Partner of the Year Awards 2026:

Softcat — Europe Partner of the Year
Accenture — Europe GSI of the Year
Alleo de Bouygues Telecom — Europe Velocity Award
BT — Europe Innovation Partner of the Year
Deutsche Telekom Security — Europe MSSP of the Year
Ernst & Young — Europe Specialized Solutions Partner of the Year
Ignition Technology — Europe Strategic Distributor of the Year
Serviceware — Europe Regional Growth Partner of the Year
Telefónica Tech — Europe Falcon Partner of the Year
Zscaler — Europe Ecosystem Partner of the Year

Also during the event, the company recognized two specialists whose contributions to the development of the Falcon ecosystem and expertise have a significant impact in Europe: Jaafar Chbili, who received the Europe Technical MVP of the Year award, and Rupert Ryan, recognized as Europe Sales MVP of the Year.

INNOVATIONS

A notable trend this year has been the increased role of partners in developing innovative areas, particularly within the Charlotte AI AgentWorks ecosystem.

Companies like Accenture and Telefónica Tech have joined the ranks of founding partners of this initiative. It enables the creation, orchestration, and scaling of their own cybersecurity AI agents, ushering in a new phase of development — moving towards an agent-based protection model within the Falcon platform.

Thus, the CrowdStrike partner ecosystem continues to shape a new architecture for the cybersecurity market in Europe — more integrated, automated, and focused on platform solutions.
