We’re thrilled to announce that Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) has been named product of the year by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company. As the most widely used MDR offering with more than 19,000 customers, Sophos MDR is recognized as the leading MDR offering for “revenue and profit.”

“Demand for always-on and fully managed security operations is at an all-time high, and adoption of Sophos MDR as the industry’s leading MDR offering is rapidly multiplying. The growth opportunity for channel partners is tremendous,” said Rob Harrison, senior vice president of security operations product management at Sophos. “Organizations need help defending against active adversaries that are carrying out attacks at record speed and covering their tracks by disabling or completely wiping out telemetry logs, as evidenced by new Sophos X-Ops threat intelligence. MDR with full-scale incident response is an urgently needed critical layer of 24/7 security, and CRN’s recognition of Sophos MDR as industry best underscores its crucial role protecting organizations against increasingly fast moving and complex attacks.”
