29 October 2024 – Sophos, a global cybersecurity leader, has again been recognized as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) — marking its 15th consecutive placement in this prestigious category. With flagship solutions like Sophos Intercept X Endpoint, the company continues to protect over 300,000 organizations from advanced cyberthreats through technologies like anti-exploit measures, anti-ransomware protection, and deep learning AI. Notably, Sophos’ endpoint security also detects and stops remote ransomware attempts in real time, restoring compromised devices to their pre-attack state. Its Adaptive Attack Protection feature dynamically adjusts defenses based on threat context, offering security teams crucial extra time to respond during active attacks.
Through a partnership with Tenable, Sophos Managed Risk provides organizations with continuous risk monitoring, vulnerability prioritization, and proactive threat notification, streamlining the workload for security teams. Further, the Account Health Check feature helps maintain optimal security by monitoring and correcting configuration changes.
“Organizations face an unprecedented surge in cyberattacks, and attackers are evolving their tactics to evade detection,” commented Rob Harrison, Senior VP of Product Management at Sophos. “Sophos’ consistent innovation, combined with a prevention-first approach, has enabled us to lead the field for 15 years, allowing us to stay one step ahead of adversaries.”
In addition to Gartner’s recognition, Sophos received the 2024 Customers’ Choice in the Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for EPP for the third consecutive year and has also been acknowledged as a G2 Leader across Endpoint Protection, EDR, MDR, Firewall, and XDR. The Sophos Intercept X has been named a leader in the IDC MarketScape for both midsize and small business endpoints.
Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) also holds top ratings on Gartner Peer Insights and is the only MDR service compatible with both third-party security deployments and Sophos offerings, enabling seamless integration with telemetry sources from top vendors like Microsoft, AWS, Google, and CrowdStrike.
Sophos’ integrated portfolio includes network, email, and cloud security solutions, as well as managed detection and response services, all of which are powered by the Sophos Adaptive Cybersecurity Ecosystem and supported by threat intelligence from Sophos X-Ops. This synchronized security approach enables organizations to defend against threats faster and more effectively across their entire infrastructure.
