Sophos has just passed with flying colors two important anti-malware tests conducted by the independent tester Dennis Technology Labs – one for enterprise and another for small and mid-sized business (SMB) endpoint security products – earning the highest rating of “AAA” in both tests. The tests looked at how the products from Sophos, McAfee, Microsoft, Kaspersky, […]

I am very pleased to say that we’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to our announcement that SurfRight is joining the Sophos family, from both SurfRight customers and industry analysts. I’ve seen a number of great questions raised by SurfRight customers, and I wanted to take a moment to address them here. I can confirm

It feels like the perfect time to announce a new free tool that’s designed to bring to our commercial-grade Sophos security to all of your homes. In a bout of creative genius, we decided to call it … Sophos Home. Clever, right? We decided to do this because we’ve been hearing from employees, customers, partners,

Sophos, a global leader in network and endpoint security, today announced the acquisition of SurfRight, an innovator in signature-less next-generation endpoint threat detection and response (ETDR) and advanced threat prevention. Based in Hengelo, the Netherlands, SurfRight has developed a portfolio of technologies that prevent, detect and remediate zero-day and sophisticated attacks by interrupting malware and

For the third straight time, Sophos has earned 6 out of 6 points for protection in AV-Test’s independent evaluation of endpoint protection products. Our Sophos Endpoint test results show that we detected 100% of zero-day malware attacks in both September and October. This is now six straight months of 100% detection in “real-world testing.” The

For decades, the security industry has been treating network security and endpoint security as completely different entities. It’s just like putting one security guard outside the building and another inside the building, but not allowing them to talk to each other. What if we started over with a fresh and radical approach that delivered better

Attackers are more frequently using previously-unknown malware to evade traditional protection. While conventional anti-malware protection is still absolutely vital as a first line of defense, organizations need additional tools to combat today’s targeted, unknown malware. Unfortunately, many next-generation solutions designed to deal with unknown threats are too complex and expensive for many businesses to consider.

Miercom, a leading, independent test center, recently conducted a comparative test of UTM/Next-Gen Firewall appliances from leading network security vendors including Sophos. Miercom tested our desktop model, the SG 135w, alongside models from Fortinet, Check Point, DELL SonicWALL and WatchGuard. Miercom also ran a test comparing the performance of the SG 135w desktop model against

People are always looking to save time and money, and hopefully both, with technology. Businesses and consumers love smartphones and computers because they are massively multi-functional, super-fast and efficient. We’ve been doing this for a long time – the spork, that funny looking multi-purpose utensil, dates back to 1874! More recently, mobile application developers have
