Sophos has once again been positioned as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms by Gartner.
This is the 11th time in a row Sophos has been positioned as Leader.
“Recent awareness of million dollar ransomware payments and GDPR fines indicates that IT managers are still not putting in place the protection they need to prevent cyberattacks. This is in part because they are inundated with threats coming from all directions and, in some cases, cybercriminals are using multiple methods and payloads along a single attack chain,” said Dan Schiappa, chief product officer at Sophos.
“We believe Gartner’s recognition underscores how critical this endpoint product is to every organisation’s security strategy. In our opinion, Gartner’s placement of Sophos in the Leaders quadrant 11 times in a row also demonstrates how Sophos is constantly innovating cybersecurity. This includes the development of EDR for endpoints and servers for advanced threat investigations,” Schiappa added.
In addition to this industry recognition, Sophos recently achieved the following industry awards for Intercept X:
– Highest security effectiveness and best value in NSS Labs 2019 Advanced Endpoint Protection Group Test
– AAA rating for both Enterprise and SMB from SE Labs
– Number 1 for Malware Protection and Exploit Protection from MRG Effitas
