#3. Innovation in XG and Intercept X

OK, so this isn’t one session but two; it’s just too difficult to split them! They have both been hugely popular, not surprising given they feature our leading product lines. As the name suggests, both sessions provide details on our latest innovations. For Intercept X, that includes endpoint protection, EDR, server protection, and mobile security. And for XG Firewall, you’ll hear about v18, Sophos Central Management and Reporting, MTR (Managed Threat Response) integration, and AWS support. You also get the inside track on which new releases are on the horizon, and the use cases that are resonating with security buyers.

#4. Win with Managed Threat Response

Sophos Partners have been keen to come to grips with our new MDR (managed detection and response) service, Sophos MTR (Managed Threat Response). It provides 24/7 threat hunting, detection, and response delivered by an expert team as a fully-managed service. This session gives you a clear understanding of why managed services like Sophos MTR exists, what customer problems it solves, and how the service works to combat even the most advanced adversaries.

#5. Securing the Cloud

Cloud security is hot! Recent high-profile incidents highlight how cyberattacks are moving to the cloud more and more, taking advantage of gaps in protection, team responsibilities, and cloud-security knowledge. This session helps our partners fully understand the shared security responsibilities they have with cloud providers, and how Sophos solutions protecting users, applications, and data across the cloud is more important than ever.
