Sophos CEO in the Spotlight with SearchSecurity
Munford discusses Sophos’s success in the security and data protection market
Sophos CEO Steve Munford
In early June 2009, Sophos CEO Steve Munford sat
down with SearchSecurity.com's Senior Technology Editor, Neil
Roiter to discuss the formula behind Sophos's success in the
competitive security and data protection market, and what the
future holds for the company.
During the
Newsmaker podcast interview, Munford explains how Sophos is
aggressively taking market share away from Symantec and McAfee, and
examines how -- even in the economic downturn -- Sophos
continues to experience year-over-year growth and its channel
partners are achieving double-digit growth.
With increasing external and internal threats, limited IT
personnel, tighter budgets, and mounting industry and government
compliance and regulatory
mandates, businesses today are facing more security challenges
than ever before.
The mainstream customer is looking to simplify and automate
security and data protection. Sophos solutions, including Sophos Security and Data Protection,
are designed to achieve maximum protection without the complexity
and additional costs. With the
latest encryption offering post Utimaco acquisition, customers
can further achieve regulatory and compliance mandates while
getting more value for their budget.
