Sophos has been named a Leader in the Gartner ® Magic QuadrantTM for Endpoint Protection Platforms ( EPP ) for 2023, which is our 14th consecutive nomination for this honor.
For the fourteenth time in a row, A Leader
Readers can get a thorough analysis of the most popular endpoint prevention,  , endspoint detection and response ( EDR), extended detection-and-response (XDR), and managed detections and responses ( MDR) offerings from the industry in this year’s report. ……………………………………
Since its initial publication in 2007, Sophos has been recognized in the Gartner ® Magic QuadrantTM for Endpoint Protection Platforms ( EPP ), and we believe that our continued emphasis on a protection-first approach is largely responsible for our continuing status as the Leader in this evaluation. Customers benefit from recent industry-first innovations like Adaptive Attack Protection, which dynamically enables heightened protection in response to the detection of an active adversary on endpoint devices. Sophos has continued to keep organizations of all sizes ahead of even the most advanced attacks.
Increasing third-party compatibility with extended detection and response
In 2023, we made significant improvements to our XDR and MDR offerings, adding new integrations with a wide variety of third-party security tools, such as identity, network, firewall, email, cloud, productivity, and endpoint security solutions.
Organizations can increase the return on their current technology investments by using third-party integrations for Sophos XDR and MDR, which also increase visibility of threats across all major attack surfaces. The creation, consumption, filtering, correlation, and prioritized security detections from Sophos and non-Sophos products results in more value from third-party tools than solutions that only use telemetry to improve existing endpoint detection.
Additionally, Sophos has expanded MDR service coverage to include the full range of Microsoft security solutions. For businesses that have invested in the Microsoft security suite, more than 500 Sophos security experts provide 24-hour monitoring, investigation, and human-led response.
Customers ‘ Choice for Gartner ® Peer InsightsTM
Our Gartner Magic Quadrant for EPP recognition follows Sophos being named a Customers ‘ Choice for Gartner ® Peer InsightsTM for Endpoint Protection Platforms for the second consecutive year and Customers’ Choice for MDR in the first-ever report in this segment. Sophos was also one of only ten vendors recognized in the 2023 Gartner Market Guide for XDR. We believe these Gartner recognitions are a testament to the quality of the protection and service we provide to Sophos customers.
