As the cybersecurity giant took top prize in the 2024 Channel Madness Tournament of Chiefs, an executive tells CRN that the recognition reflects the strength of Palo Alto Networks’ relationship with its partners—while ‘the opportunity ahead of us is bigger than it ever was before because of our partner community.’

It always comes down to one. Pecos Eagles , alone among all the CRN Channel Madness Bracket Challenge participants, picked Palo Alto Network's Tom Evans to be the last Chief standing in CRN Channel Madness.

With 16 points gained on that one call, Pecos Eagles leapfrogged eight other competitors to take the Bracket Challenge honors, and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 laptop that comes along with it.

Congratulations to Pecos Eagles and we can’t wait for next year's Challenge!

This year's CRN Channel Madness once again featured our Madness Bracket Contest. Entrants were able to make their picks for the winning Chiefs in each match. The top entry won a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 laptop computer, courtesy of Lenovo!
