Renewals. They come around like clockwork. With licenses for one, two, or three years, customers will always reach a point in their subscription when they start to consider their options. All consumers are used to this – we’re always renewing things, like car insurance, reviewing our options to ensure we’re always getting the best deal. But unlike car insurance, Sophos adds features for free.
Let’s be honest. Who doesn’t like a freebie? Well luckily for you, over the last 12 months you and your customers have been receiving a lot of freebies. Curious to hear more? First off, hackers are constantly trying to find a way into your network, or those of your customers, with or without you knowing. This could be via phishing e-mails, compromised websites, software, and application vulnerabilities to name a few. All for free!
Malware, ransomware, and the hackers who use them are constantly in the news, particularly after having successfully compromised yet another business or organization. 400,000 new malware are created every day and 75% of those are only ever seen once. It’s not difficult to see why malware keeps making headlines. It’s important to ask: could this have been me, impacted by this latest attack? One out of every five end users were subject to at least one malware-class web attack in 2019. Plus, 62% of cyberattacks affect small- to medium-sized businesses. You may hear about an attack like the infamous Ryuk virus hitting larger targets. Or like the large-scale attack in New Orleans along, or the way BlueKeep and DejaBlue utilized operating system vulnerabilities . But these attacks can affect any sized business.
This is the kind of “free” technological events none of us want!
All kinds of attacks, from automated malware to active adversaries manually trying to hack your system, are all constantly evolving. Therefore, it is our mission to stay one step ahead of all threats. Which is why our Sophos Central platform is constantly receiving upgrades to fight this ongoing battle. It is easy to see from this recent What’s New article how much development is going on in the background all the time.
We don’t just protect – we recommend! Other products may have similar features, but we enable features automatically when you’ve selected the recommended settings option. This ensures the best protection. We can do this because our extensive testing and experience means we do not create a mountain of false positives.
Root cause analysis has evolved into our Threat Analysis Center, increasing visibility of your devices and what threats could be lurking, so you have the tools to trace the threats in your network.
Intrusion Prevention System and AMSI were recently released. These add the top network-based IPS signatures to endpoints, and integration with AMSI which looks at encrypted scripts in the tiny window between being decrypted and running.
Additionally, Intercept X is now available for mobile devices too. As a result, you can now get the best protection across mobiles, workstations, and servers.
Security may not be simple these days, but we are here to help!
Teamwork
In any organization, it is important for people to be able to work alone and in a team. However, we are one of the only vendors who offer security products that also work as a team. Pair Intercept X with any Sophos products and you are already starting your journey with our Synchronized Security platform.
Great achievements and awards
Intercept X has been rated the #1 malware detection engine driven by deep learning. Intercept X has received a lot of accolades from various sources over the years, including #1 in security effectiveness and #1 in total cost of ownership by NSS Labs.
The numbers speak for themselves
With over 400,000 customers, includes 100 million users in over 150 countries, plus over 30 years of experience in the security industry, it is fair to say we have a long list of testimonials and case studies.
Why go through the pain of debating every renewal period, when you’ve already got the best security you could ask for?
