Sophos named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner®️ Magic Quadrant™️ for Endpoint Protection Platforms

The Gartner®️ Magic Quadrant™️ for Endpoint Protection Platforms provides readers with a comprehensive evaluation of the industry’s most prevalent endpoint prevention, endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), and managed detection and response (MDR) offerings.  

We are delighted to announce that Sophos has been named a Leader, again, in this year’s report, marking our 15th time as a Leader in this category.

A Magic Quadrant Leader for the fifteenth consecutive time

Only vendors that can innovate as quickly and aggressively as the threat actors we defend against, can strive to retain a leadership position in the hyper-competitive endpoint security market. Sophos has been recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) since its inaugural publication and, we feel, this confirms our commitment to continued innovation.  

Stronger protection with adaptive defenses 

We believe our continued focus on a protection-first approach is a key factor contributing to Sophos’ position as a Leader in this Gartner evaluation. As attackers continue to innovate in their approaches, we continue to extend the adaptive defenses in Sophos Endpoint to further protect customers against active adversaries.  

Our adaptive attack protection capability dynamically enables heightened defenses on an endpoint when a hands-on-keyboard attack is detected, and critical attack warnings alert you if adversarial activity is detected across multiple endpoints or servers in your environment. 

An expansive partner ecosystem and new technology alliances 

Sophos’ third-party technology integrations and strategic partnerships provide unparalleled security, efficient and effective security operations, and greater return on investment for our customers. We have continued to expand our range of third-party integrations for the Sophos XDR solution and the Sophos MDR service, including a new Backup and Recovery category.  

Sophos also launched a new alliance with Tenable with the introduction of Sophos Managed Risk, our new attack surface vulnerability management service. 

A 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice vendor 

In addition to this latest recognition as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant report, Sophos has also been named a Customers’ Choice vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer Report for Endpoint Protection Platforms for the third consecutive year. Sophos scored a 4.8/5.0 rating based on 680 customer reviews as of April 2024 – the highest number of reviews among all endpoint security vendors in the report. 

We believe these Gartner recognitions are an acknowledgement of the quality of the protection and service we provide to Sophos customers.
