BeyondTrust has announced the winners of its 2026 Australian Partner of the Year Awards, recognising partner organisations and individuals involved in deploying its identity security products and services in Australia.
The awards were announced at the BeyondTrust PartnerTrust conference in Sydney, which the company said focused on partner training and technical and go-to-market enablement around its “privilege-centric identity security” strategy.
Perfekt was named Australian Partner of the Year. BeyondTrust said the Melbourne-headquartered firm was recognised for collaboration with the vendor and for combining BeyondTrust’s technology and expertise with its own understanding of customer priorities.
3Columns received ANZ Customer Success Partner of the Year. BeyondTrust said the Sydney-based cyber security firm was recognised for a customer-focused approach and customer satisfaction outcomes.
Modern 42 received Technical Partner of the Year. BeyondTrust said the Canberra-based company had invested in technical capability, including implementation expertise, and had engaged with BeyondTrust’s Phantom Labs research team to provide product feedback.
BeyondTrust also presented individual awards. Damith Jayasinghe, business manager at Westcon-Comstor Australia, was named Most Valuable Partner. Ingram Spencer, business development manager at Perfekt, was named Account Executive of the Year.
“Congratulations to this year’s BeyondTrust award recipients,” said Brendon Thwaites, Director, Partner Ecosystems, APAC, BeyondTrust. “Great partnerships are the primary difference between security ‘tools’ and security ‘outcomes’. The partners that we are recognising today consistently go beyond selling a single product by helping their customers reduce overall privilege risk, close gaps across silos, and move toward a unified approach to identity security.”
BeyondTrust said it plans to expand its partner engagement model, with a focus on simplifying how partners engage with the company and building partner capability to support Australian enterprise and public sector customers.
