Gartner publishes endpoint protection Magic Quadrant

Analyst firm Gartner has published its latest Magic Quadrant, plotting where it believes different security companies to be when it comes to protecting endpoints on a kind-of battenberg cake. When they say ‘endpoint’ they are referring to what much of the rest of the world calls a ‘computer’, by the way.

Which means it’s time for a shameless blog post promoting Sophos. :)

Gartner's Magic Quadrant for endpoint protection

The top right corner of Gartner’s magic quadrant is the sweet spot, and it’s great to see Sophos consolidate its position there. As you can probably imagine, a lot of the marketroids are very pleased with this – and the engineers and guys and gals in the labs deserve hearty congratulations for such a positive placement.
