“Sophos MDR is a must.” Sophos Intercept X is “…a real threat for hackers!” This is a sampling of the praise Sophos customers shared in G2’s peer-to-peer Winter 2024 Report, making Sophos the only vendor to earn the coveted Leader position in five key cybersecurity categories. This is the fourth report in a row where Sophos has swept as a Leader. The five categories include:
- Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
- Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Platforms
- Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
- Endpoint Protection Suites
- Firewall Software
Additionally, Sophos MDR and Sophos Firewall ranked number one overall in their respective categories. The G2 categories include enterprise, mid-market and small business segments, and accolades are based on validated customer reviews.
“It’s a true honor when our customers confirm that, ‘Sophos MDR is a must,’ and our Sophos Intercept X endpoint solution is ‘a real threat for hackers,’” said Raja Patel, chief product officer at Sophos. “This confidence is the reason Sophos repeatedly sweeps the cybersecurity categories in G2’s customer ratings reports. It also shows how much our customers value the security advantages our MDR experts and our innovative technologies deliver to help them better protect, detect, respond to, and remediate relentless alerts and cyberattacks.”
Select Customer Reviews
- “Sophos MDR is a must. My team is small, and it’s great knowing if we’re all busy putting out IT fires, MDR is ready to take action if my team is unable to respond immediately to suspicious activity. This is much better than relying on alerts that we need to investigate. Of course, we have alerts enabled, but setting the thresholds for the alerts is nearly impossible. The alerts are either not sensitive enough and we’ll miss something important, or the alerts are too sensitive and we receive too many to investigate. Sophos MDR didn’t just solve this problem; it completely removed it,” said a mid-market customer
- “The 24/7 threat-hunting service from Sophos MDR stands out as a feature of utmost importance, providing around-the-clock vigilance and prompt reaction to emerging threats.
