Softcat named 2026 UK & Ireland Partner of the Year by Arctic Wolf

Softcat is thrilled to announce it has been named Arctic Wolf's 2026 UK & Ireland Partner of the Year! The award recognises the company's leadership in helping organisations strengthen security operations and defend against modern, AI-driven threats by delivering trusted security outcomes through Arctic Wolf solutions.

As attackers increasingly leverage AI to move faster, scale attacks and exploit gaps across the attack surface, organisations are under pressure to adopt AI in security operations – without adding complexity or risk. Softcat was recognised for its ability to help joint customers operationalise security in a way that is designed to be reliable, validated and aligned to today's security needs.

Will Briggs, Senior Vice President of Global Channels at Arctic Wolf, said:

 “These partners represent the best of the Arctic Wolf ecosystem. They share our commitment to delivering security outcomes customers rely on. Together, we're helping organisations defend at machine speed—while ensuring AI is applied in a way that is validated, governed and effective in real-world environments.”

The Arctic Wolf Partner of the Year Awards recognise top-performing partners that demonstrate excellence in security expertise, customer outcomes and strategic alignment. Award recipients are selected based on their ability to help organisations navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape, reduce operational burden on security teams and achieve stronger, more resilient security outcomes.

Thank you to Arctic Wolf for this recognition, and a huge thank you to our teams whose hard work and dedication made this award possible.
