Delivering superior cybersecurity outcomes requires a relentless focus on the development, refinement, and continual expansion of capabilities that enable security leaders to do their jobs more effectively.

That’s why Sophos is committed to participating in public evaluations and third-party tests that are independent, unpaid, and performed on a regular basis.

Sophos was named a Leader in all four evaluation categories which compare vendor capabilities and market performance:

  • Overall Leadership: the combined view of the vendor’s ratings for product, innovation, and market leadership

Sophos also earned perfect scores in the following evaluation subcategories: Security, Functionality, Interoperability, and Usability.
