Recognition from 500+ channel chiefs and enterprise CIOs validates eScan’s approach to building trust through innovation
eScan (MicroWorld Technologies Inc.), a cybersecurity solutions provider, has been honoured with the Top Channel Favourite Cybersecurity Solution at the prestigious SME Channels Accelerator Awards 2025, attended by more than 500 channel chiefs and enterprise CIOs. The award highlights the industry’s growing trust in eScan’s innovative and dependable security offerings.
The honour comes at a critical moment for India’s cybersecurity landscape. In 2025, the country witnessed several high-profile breaches that underscored the inadequacy of traditional security approaches. When major IT services firms faced scrutiny over incidents like the Marks & Spencer breach and the Jaguar Land Rover attack, enterprises began prioritising not just technology features but their security partners, trust, and proven performance.
“This award motivates us to do better and strengthen India’s security ecosystem. But what makes it particularly meaningful is that it comes from the channel partners and CIOs who work with our solutions daily – they see both the promises vendors make and the reality of what gets delivered. I am confident that 2026 will push us to higher success.”
– Govind Rammurthy, CEO of eScan
Building Security That Enterprises Actually Trust
“It is a proud moment for our entire team,” said Govind Rammurthy, CEO of eScan. “This award motivates us to do better and strengthen India’s security ecosystem. But what makes it particularly meaningful is that it comes from the channel partners and CIOs who work with our solutions daily – they see both the promises vendors make and the reality of what gets delivered. I am confident that 2026 will push us to higher success.”
The recognition reflects a year of significant achievement for eScan. Multiple large enterprise accounts standardized on eScan’s solutions in 2025, choosing the company’s XDR, Enterprise DLP, and Patch Management offerings over established international competitors. These weren’t small pilot projects – they were organization-wide deployments protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive data.
Shweta Thakare, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, emphasized the collaborative nature of the achievement. “I thank Enterprise IT World for this award. The confidence shown by channel partners and enterprises is truly a feather in the cap of our entire team. Our channel partners don’t just sell our solutions – they stake their reputations on them. This award validates their trust.”

The Year That Changed Security Priorities
The SMB segment saw particularly dramatic growth, with eScan’s business increasing over 250% in 2025. This surge wasn’t driven by aggressive pricing alone. Following breaches that exposed how small and medium businesses were being targeted as entry points into larger supply chains, SMBs recognized that security could no longer be treated as an afterthought or handled with free consumer-grade tools.
The year also saw eScan launch several innovations addressing real-world challenges enterprises face. The Enterprise DLP solution tackles the data loss problem that cost companies like Clorox $380 million in a single incident. The XDR range provides the comprehensive visibility that might have prevented helpdesk manipulation attacks. The Enterprise Patch Management solution addresses the vulnerability management gaps that attackers routinely exploit.
What the Award Actually Means
Channel Accelerator Awards differ from other industry recognition because they reflect ground-level reality. Channel partners and CIOs don’t vote based on marketing materials or analyst reports – they vote based on what actually works when deployed, how vendor support responds when problems arise, and whether solutions deliver the security they promise.
For eScan, this recognition is strong validation that cybersecurity solutions built in India, for Indian enterprises, with a deep understanding of local challenges, can compete with—and often outperform—those offered by multinational vendors. It reinforces that trust, built through consistent performance and genuine partnership; matters more than brand visibility or marketing spend.
As India’s digital economy continues expanding and cyber threats grow more sophisticated, awards like this signal which security vendors enterprises and channels actually trust to protect their most critical assets. For eScan’s team and partners, that trust is both the greatest achievement and the heaviest responsibility.
