Sophos named as Customers’ Choice in Gartner Peer Insights for EPP report

In the Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer: Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) report published in October 2021, Sophos was selected a Customers’ Choice. As of August 31, 2021, Sophos is the top rated and most reviewed of all identified vendors, with an overall vendor rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 505 verified customer reviews.

“In a year marked by devastating ransomware attacks and other advanced threats, bulletproof endpoint protection has never been more critical,” said Dan Schiappa, chief product officer at Sophos.

He added, “Nearly 40 percent of organizations surveyed in Sophos’ State of Ransomware 2021 report were hit with ransomware between 2020 and 2021, with total remediation costs from these attacks averaging nearly $2 million. Sophos is committed to turning this tide by arming organizations of all sizes and across all market segments with the industry’s best endpoint protection. This customer recognition, in our opinion, is validation of our dedication to developing the best endpoint protection to defend against adversaries.”

In all worldwide deployment regions, including North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific, Sophos is the only provider selected a Customers’ Choice for EPP. Customers’ Choice awards were given to Sophos in the majority of the report’s market sector categories, including Large Enterprise, Midsize Enterprise, Public Sector, Government, Education, Manufacturing, and Services.

Sophos Intercept X is the industry’s most advanced endpoint security solution, with numerous levels of protection for unrivalled ransomware and other cyberthreat protection.
