Endpoint protection platforms (EPP) is security software designed to protect managed end-user endpoints — including desktop PCs, laptop PCs and mobile devices — against known and unknown malicious attacks.

Gartner Peer Insights ranked Sophos Endpoint among the top EPP in Gartner’s Voice of the Customer survey for 2024. Customers scored Sophos among the highest in user interest and adoption, helping Sophos to earn a high ranking placement in the upper right-hand quadrant of Gartner’s matrix results of the survey. "A vendor must meet or exceed the market average User Interest and Adoption Score to qualify for the right-hand quadrants," Gartner stated.

Add Numbers and Words to Get Meaning

Endpoint protection is more complex than putting a firewall on a PC. According to Gartner, the solution must protect against all threats, allow security teams to monitor, contain, and remediate any data breach, and integrate with centralized management and analytics. This approach has always been the foundation of Sophos' approach to cybersecurity.

Sophos Intercept X Endpoint combines customer support with product quality to provide superior endpoint protection to defeat ransomware and other cyberattacks. Customers rated Sophos as their top pick across large, medium, and small businesses. Sophos also made the grade across industry sectors: education, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and services. Sophos has also proved to be a top pick among customers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia/Pacific region.

Among all vendors in Gartner's 2024 EPP report, Sophos again had the highest number of reviews. As of July 2024, Sophos scored a 4.8/5.0 rating based on 473 reviews. And this is not limited to the current year. Sophos is the only cybersecurity vendor that earned Gartner’s Customers’ Choice for Endpoint Protection, Managed Detection and Response, and Network Firewalls.=

Sophos Endpoint blocks threats without relying on any single technique. Web, application, and peripheral controls reduce the attack surface and block common attack vectors. AI, behavioral analysis, anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and other advanced technologies stop threats fast before they escalate, so resource-stretched IT teams have fewer incidents to investigate and resolve.
