Customers’ Choice in the Gartner
® Peer Insights™
Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) and
Network Firewalls reports. This recognition includes 4.8/5.0
scoring ratings in both categories. Sophos is also rated a
Customers’ Choice for all available segments within the two
reports.
“Being distinguished as a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’
Choice is a great recognition to us, but we believe being named in
two crucial interrelated categories is incredible and a strong
reflection of our relentless focus to deliver optimal security
outcomes for our customers,” said Rob Harrison, senior vice

a winning formula to defend against today’s innovative and
persistent adversaries who are consistently devising new techniques
to carry out ransomware and other potentially business-ending
cyberattacks. This synergy enhances threat detection, reduces
response times, and simplifies management, ultimately fortifying
organizations against complex cyber threats that require proactive
prevention and automated interventions at multiple points on the
attack chain.”
