Staying at the top of your game takes a lot of effort.
Sophos did that again, with Sophos Intercept X winning a CRN 2024 Product of the Year award for best endpoint protection. Adding to the list of honors came Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR), a sub-category winner for best revenue and profit under the MDR category.
“Winners of the 2024 CRN Products of the Year Awards are innovators committed to delivering exceptional new products and features that improve outcomes for channel partners and their customers.” Said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company.
How are CRN Products of the Year chosen?
CRN editors selected finalists in 30 product categories. Having the best product was not enough. To win, the product must also be channel-friendly and rate highly with solution providers, who use these products to craft services and solutions they sell to their customers.
“Each award winner was selected by solution providers who have day-to-day experiences of the product, making it an invaluable resource for partners exploring ways to enhance their portfolio offerings,” said Follet.
Why was Sophos Selected as a CRN Product of the Year?
Sophos Intercept X was recognized as the best endpoint protection platform, scoring highest for best product and highest for technology and customer need. Intercept X uses a comprehensive defense-in-depth approach and does not rely on a single technique to defend the customer's IT system. Rather, it uses powerful EDR and XDR tools that enable targeted search and analysis of suspicious activity and attack indicators to prevent breaches, ransomware, and data loss.
Picking overall winners is not the only task CRN editors and solution providers did. They also chose the best product/solution/service for three sub-categories: technology, revenue and profit, and customer need.
Sophos MDR notched a win in the MDR category for the best revenue and profit. Sophos partners have long melded Sophos MDR into their cybersecurity service offerings to help boost their bottom line. It provides a fully managed 24/7 service delivered by experts who detect and respond to cyberattacks targeting computers, servers, networks, cloud workloads, email accounts, and more. It’s no wonder Sophos is the highest-rated and most-reviewed MDR service.
