Sophos has once again been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms, marking its 16th straight appearance. The achievement underscores Sophos’ continued innovation and effectiveness in securing organizations from evolving cyber threats.
MALAYSIA, 23 JULY 2025 – Sophos, a global leader in cybersecurity, has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) — a distinction it has held for 16 consecutive years since the category’s inception in 2007.
The recognition highlights Sophos’ consistent excellence in delivering advanced endpoint protection, including flagship products like Sophos Endpoint with Intercept X, Extended Detection and Response (EDR/XDR), and its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. Today, more than 300,000 organizations rely on Sophos solutions to defend against ransomware, active adversaries, and sophisticated cyber threats.
“Sophos’ strength lies in its prevention-first strategy, designed to stop breaches before they begin, adapt defenses in real-time, and enhance response when it matters most,” said Kyle Falkenhagen, SVP of Product Management at Sophos. “This continued recognition reflects our unwavering focus on innovation and proactive defense in the face of a rapidly evolving global threat landscape.”
A Stronger Future with Secureworks
Following its February 2025 acquisition of Secureworks, Sophos has expanded its cybersecurity ecosystem by integrating the Secureworks Taegis XDR platform. Existing Secureworks customers can now leverage Sophos Endpoint at no additional cost, enhancing protection while maximizing return on investment.
The merger also brings Secureworks’ renowned Counter Threat Unit (CTU) into the Sophos X-Ops threat intelligence team — a collaboration that strengthens real-time threat analysis and speeds up identification of emerging attack vectors. The CTU enriches Sophos’ already formidable threat detection capabilities through deep research, intelligence sharing, and global surveillance of malicious actors.
Dual Recognition by Gartner Peer Insights
In addition to being named a Magic Quadrant Leader, Sophos is the only vendor to be recognized as a “Customers’ Choice” in both the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer Reports for Endpoint Protection Platforms and the inaugural Extended Detection and Response (XDR) report. This dual endorsement highlights high customer satisfaction and trust across multiple cybersecurity domains.
