- After evaluating a range of products, they found Sophos products best met their needs.
- They were particularly impressed with Sophos’ reputation in the business-to-business sector and positive product reviews.
Business results
- Nearly 14 months since implementing Sophos, Tamworth has had no malware attacks to date.

- It was the simplicity yet effectiveness of the Sophos solution that most impresses.
