Gartner has positioned Sophos in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection, 2010. Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection (MDP) is based on an assessment of a company's ability to execute and completeness of vision.
According to Gartner, "Leaders make their competitors' sales staffs nervous, and force competitors' technical staffs to follow their lead. Their MDP products are well known to clients and are frequently found on RFP shortlists. In 2010, the companies that execute strongly enough to differentiate themselves as Leaders are EPP vendors that all made MDP acquisitions."
Sophos has also announced the release of Sophos SafeGuard (R) Easy and Sophos SafeGuard (R) Enterprise 5.50 designed to address the broadest array of customer requirements, implementation options and long-term data protection plans.
Steve Munford, Chief Executive Officer, Sophos, said, "With continued scrutiny from government and industry regulators, as well as employees, customers and partners, businesses are not only legally obligated to protect sensitive information for the purposes of compliance, but also required to do so in the most comprehensive, yet simple, cost-efficient and effective manner - Sophos addresses all of these needs."
