Sophos positions as a Leader
Sophos has been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of Gartner, Inc's 2012 Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management. The quadrant is based on an assessment of a company's ability to execute and completeness of vision.
According to the report, "The Leaders quadrant contains vendors at the forefront of making and selling UTM products that are built for midsize business requirements. The requirements necessary for leadership include a wide range of models to cover midsize business use cases, support for multiple features, and a management and reporting capability that is designed for ease of use. Vendors in this quadrant lead the market in offering new safeguarding features, and in enabling customers to deploy them inexpensively without significantly affecting the end-user experience or increasing staffing burdens. These vendors also have a good track record of avoiding vulnerabilities in their security products. Common characteristics include reliability, consistent throughput, and a product that is intuitive to manage and administer."
In response to growing customer needs, Sophos recently introduced UTM cloud capabilities via the Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), enabling customers to easily host and run server infrastructure in a secure, scalable cloud.
"It is increasingly difficult for organizations of all sizes to create secure network infrastructures-due to wireless networks, branch offices, cloud computing and increased mobile device usage.
Our goal is to provide complete security solutions that allow organizations to protect their expanding networks while simplifying security management. We believe our position as a leader within the Gartner UTM Magic Quadrant demonstrates that we are delivering on this goal," said Jan Hichert, Senior Vice-President, Network Security, Sophos.
