GEC NEWS WIRECompany believes its Project Galileo product strategy will further its leadership
Sophos has been positioned by Gartner in the “Leaders” quadrant of Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms” for the eighth consecutive year. According to the report, “the rise of the targeted attack is shredding what is left of the anti-malware market’s stubborn commitment to reactive protection techniques. Improving the malware signature distribution system or adapting behavior detection to account for the latest attack styles will not improve the effectiveness rates against targeted attacks… to be successful going forward, EPP solutions must be more proactive and focus on the entire security life cycle.”
“We’re continuing to build on our reputation for producing effective, simple-to-use security solutions by introducing next-generation technology that protects customers even better,” said Dan Schiappa, SVP and GM of the Sophos Enduser Security Group. “We believe Gartner’s continued placement of Sophos in the Leaders quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms is validation of our innovative strategy and our ability to deliver on that strategy.”
“Next-Generation Enduser Protection is where the industry needs to head,” adds Schiappa, “and Sophos is one of a very few companies worldwide that have the breadth of solutions and the depth of knowledge and expertise to be able to drive this massive and necessary evolution in our industry.”
