Some of the reasons our customers switch from legacy vendors to Sophos are
highlighted in the Cascadia Labs report, Endpoint Security for Enterprises:
- Advanced enterprise console for real-time visibility to endpoint machine status
- Improved performance at the endpoint (faster scans, smaller memory footprint, much smaller & faster updates at 3k-5k in size)
- Reduced administration burdens resulting in lower total cost of ownership.
Detection rates aren’t the only thing to compare. This whitepaper gives you a short list of what to look for:
Sophos Endpoint Assessment Whitepaper
Make sure your AV vendor has the infrastructure necessary to combat today’s blended threats. SophosLabs maintains locations around the world, each of which is authorized to release anti-malware updates as needed. This means you are protected against new threats sooner than other vendors can institute protection against new threats. Sophos’ Genotype technology detects new threats based on what they have in common with past threats. This proactive protection technology doesn’t rely on run-time analysis, leaving you better protected than typical heuristic approaches used by other vendors.
