Anonymous
Harbor Solutions has won the EMEA MSP Partner of the Year award at Rubrik's 2026 EMEA Partner Summit, according to PR Newswire. The winners were announced at the Rubrik Forward EMEA event in London. The award honours partners that show excellence in helping customers recover from cyber attacks.
Harbor is a specialist provider of data protection, cyber recovery, and disaster recovery services. The company focuses on highly regulated industries, where the cost of downtime and data loss is especially high, Yahoo Finance reported.
What the Award Recognises and Why It Matters
Rubrik's EMEA Partner Summit Awards spotlight partners that go beyond selling software. The award specifically recognises partners who deliver what Rubrik calls "cyber resilience" — the ability to keep running and recover quickly after a cyber incident, according to PR Newswire. For organisations in regulated sectors, that capability can mean the difference between a minor disruption and a business-ending event.
Harbor stood out from other managed service providers across the entire EMEA region. That covers Europe, the Middle East, and Africa — a large and competitive field of Rubrik partners, Yahoo Finance noted.
Harbor Lighthouse and Cyber Resilience Assessments Drive the Win
Harbor built two core tools that helped earn the recognition. The first is Harbor Lighthouse, a service that helps organisations see where they stand on recovery readiness. The second is a cyber resilience assessment programme, PR Newswire reported. Both tools help clients understand which systems are most critical and how quickly those systems can be restored after an attack.
The idea is to move clients from a reactive posture to a proactive one. Instead of finding out recovery gaps during a crisis, organisations use Harbor's tools to find and fix those gaps in advance. This approach is especially valuable as ransomware and other cyber threats continue to grow more sophisticated.
Regulated Industries Face the Sharpest Pressure to Recover Fast
Harbor focuses on clients in highly regulated industries — sectors like finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. These organisations face strict rules about data availability and must often prove they can recover within tight timeframes, according to Yahoo Finance. A failed recovery is not just a technical problem; it can trigger regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
By combining deep recovery expertise with Rubrik's data security platform, Harbor helps these clients map out their critical systems and test their recovery plans before disaster strikes. The goal is a clear recovery posture — knowing exactly what can be recovered, and how fast, PR Newswire reported.
Rubrik Forward EMEA in London Crowns the Region's Top Partners
The award was presented at Rubrik Forward EMEA, held in London. The event brings together Rubrik's top partners from across the region to share strategy and recognise standout performance. Harbor's win places it at the top of Rubrik's managed service provider network in EMEA for 2026, according to PR Newswire.
For Harbor, the recognition signals growing demand for specialist cyber recovery services. As cyber threats become harder to prevent entirely, organisations are shifting focus toward resilience — ensuring they can bounce back quickly even when an attack succeeds. Harbor's award suggests that strategy is resonating with customers across the region, Yahoo Finance reported.
