Sophos vs. the Competition

Cybersecurity is highly adversarial and fast-moving in a way that few other industries are. Attackers constantly evolve their techniques to bypass defenses, requiring high agility from security vendors and organizations to respond effectively. Cybersecurity is becoming so complex that most organizations cannot keep up and need every advantage. Sophos delivers superior cybersecurity outcomes by giving customers the advantages they urgently need.
