Sophos has been named one of this year’s coolest cloud companies – and for good reason.
CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, recently unveiled its list of the 100 Coolest Cloud Companies of 2020, and recognized Sophos as a top cloud security vendor.
Sophos was selected for its innovation in product development, quality of services, and partner programs, as well as success in helping customers save money and maximize the impact of their cloud computing technology. We were also recognized for enabling organizations to manage a multi-layered security strategy across the office, data center, and cloud from a single console, Sophos Central.
The Sophos public cloud portfolio protects AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code environments from the latest malware, ransomware, and vulnerabilities. It provides next-gen server workload protection, virtual firewall series and Sophos Cloud Optix, a powerful tool that automates and simplifies the detection and response of cloud security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to reduce risk exposure.
Among the many differentiators offered by Sophos’ public cloud security suite is the AI at the heart of Cloud Optix. Instead of inundating teams with massive numbers of undifferentiated alerts, Cloud Optix uses AI to significantly reduce alert fatigue and shrink incident response and resolution times. It does this by identifying the risk profiling security and compliance risks, with contextual alerts that group affected resources. It also provides detailed remediation steps, including direct links to the cloud provider’s console. This ensures teams focus on and fix their most critical security vulnerabilities fast.

Bob Skelley, CEO of The Channel Company, said of the awards:
“The IT channel relies on cloud services as the foundation for building modern, transformational solutions,” said Bob Skelley, CEO, The Channel Company. “CRN’s annual list of 100 Coolest Cloud Companies seeks to honor the top cloud providers, whose mission and actions support innovation in cloud-based technologies. Our team congratulates these honorees and thanks them for their commitment to leading positive change in cloud technology.”
Receiving praise from trusted third parties in cloud security is nothing new for Sophos. TMC recently announced Sophos as a winner of the 2019 Cloud Computing Security Excellence Awards, presented by Cloud Computing magazine, honoring Cloud Optix in two categories: those that most effectively leverage cloud platforms to deliver network security, and those providing security for cloud applications.
