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.
