Sophos named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms

Sophos has been recognized as a Leader for the 16th consecutive report. We believe this consistent recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to developing innovative solutions that evolve with the global threat landscape and the adversaries we are fighting every day.

Evolving threats

Modern threats, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and changing adversarial behavior are increasingly sophisticated and can evade traditional endpoint defenses.

Complexity is the enemy of security

Multiple management consoles are resource-intensive, distracting, and detecting a drift in security posture is difficult.

Reactive responses

IT teams are on the back foot, responding to threats only after they’ve caused the damage rather than stopping them earlier in the attack chain.

AI-powered, prevention-first approach 

Sophos Endpoint takes a comprehensive, prevention-first approach to security, automatically blocking threats without relying on any single technique. Deep learning AI models protect against known and novel attacks. Web, application, and peripheral controls reduce your threat surface and block common attack vectors. Behavorial 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.

Airtight ransomware protection

CryptoGuard technology in Sophos Endpoint monitors file contents for malicious encryption, blocking offending processes on the victim's computer and on compromised network-connected devices. Our universal approach protects your data from new and novel file encryption attacks and automatically reverts any encrypted files to their original state. CryptoGuard's Master Boot Record (MBR) protection safeguards your hard drives from advanced ransomware designed to render computers unbootable.

Robust defense against remote ransomware

According to Microsoft's 2024 Digital Defense Report, remote encryption — where an attacker uses an unmanaged device to encrypt files in the same network — is used in 70% of successful ransomware attacks. Most endpoint security solutions, however, are unable to protect you against this increasingly prevalent attack technique. 

Sophos Endpoint is the industry’s most robust zero-touch endpoint defense against remote ransomware, thanks to our universal proprietary CryptoGuard technology.

Adaptive Attack Protection

Adaptive Attack Protection dynamically enables heightened defenses on an endpoint when a hands-on-keyboard attack is detected. This prevents a cybercriminal from taking further actions by minimizing the attack surface and disrupting and containing the attack, buying valuable time to respond.

Critical Attack Warning

A Critical Attack Warning alerts you if adversarial activity is detected across multiple endpoints or servers. It notifies all administrators in the Sophos Central unified security management platform of the situation and provides attack details. You can respond using Sophos XDR, seek assistance from your partner, or ask the Sophos Incident Response team for help.

Extend your protection to the workspace

Sophos Workspace Protection extends protection to your apps, data, and remote and hybrid workers easily and affordably. Provide secure zero-trust connectivity, safe web browsing, data boundary controls, and insights into email threats. 

The best thing is you can save on your Endpoint and Workspace protection with a very attractively priced bundle.

There’s no need for complicated configuration or tuning. However, if you need it, you also have the option for more granular control.

Account health check

Poorly configured policy settings, exclusions, and other factors can compromise your security posture. The account health check feature identifies security posture drift and high-risk misconfigurations, enabling administrators to remediate issues with one click.

Protect all your endpoints

Get complete protection across all your desktops, laptops, servers, tablets, and mobile devices. Sophos Endpoint supports all major operating systems, including legacy platforms for critical systems.

FEATURES

The industry's most sophisticated endpoint security solution

Sophos delivers powerful attack surface reduction, threat prevention, and detection and response capabilities while maintaining an agent footprint lighter than many common business applications. Many competitor solutions lack the same depth and breadth, prioritizing agent size over strength of protection.

Mitigate the risk of threats

Stopping attacks early is less resource-intensive than monitoring and remediating them later in the attack chain. Intercepting network traffic on the endpoint provides powerful protection benefits for users both on and off the company network. Solutions that lack this full range of threat surface reduction capabilities have less opportunity to block attacks before they penetrate your systems.

Automatically stop threats

Stopping more threats early in the attack chain enables you to focus on investigating fewer incidents. Some detection and response solutions focus on collecting telemetry for investigation at the expense of providing comprehensive prevention, to maintain a reduced agent footprint. Sophos delivers broader threat prevention capabilities, with efficacy validated through consistent top scores in independent tests.
