Sophos announced it has once again been named a Customers’ Choice in the Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) report. Sophos is the only vendor recognized as a Customer’s Choice across EPP, managed detection and response (MDR), network firewalls, and mobile threat defense.

Reflecting the breadth of Sophos’ endpoint market coverage, Sophos is the only vendor to be named a Customers’ Choice across all industry segments evaluated in the new EPP report – including Education, Finance, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Services – with an overall customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 across 451 verified customer reviews as of June 2023. Furthermore, Sophos is also the only vendor to be named Customers’ Choice for the entire Education market category.

“Superior endpoint protection that works for you and with you is crucial for shielding against today’s innovative adversaries, who our research shows are actively exploiting security weaknesses such as unpatched vulnerabilities and compromised credentials to bypass traditional defenses,” said Raja Patel, senior vice president of products and managed services at Sophos. “Relentless innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Sophos, and this repeated customer recognition is validation that the multi-layered protections in Sophos Intercept X – from adaptive defenses that automatically respond to an attack to the most comprehensive anti-exploit capabilities on the market – are delivering superior security outcomes in the real-world.”
