Independent Third-Party Testing

Third-party testing helps organizations make informed decisions about their technology stack and security investments. Sophos believes in the informational and transparency value of regular participation in third-party tests. We have received high scores for performance, ease of use, and effectiveness in tests from SE Labs, AV-Test, and other third-party evaluators. SentinelOne rarely participates in third-party testing.
