Sophos Named Winner in Security Category of CRN Tech Innovator Awards

Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection – its comprehensive malware and data protection endpoint solution – has been named the Security Category winner of the CRN Tech Innovator Awards. The award – honoring Sophos for both technology innovation and commitment to its channel Partner Program – was presented to Matt Fogelgren, Sophos’s director of North American channel sales at the Xchange Tech Innovators Conference on November 12, 2010 in Las Vegas.

“Innovation is the cornerstone of all we do and the engine that drives the IT market. The technologies we rely on and consider commonplace today, started on the backs of engineers and scientists in a R&D lab years ago,” said Vice President, Editorial Director for Everything Channel Kelley Damore. “We applaud this year’s winners for the hard work, vision and commitment to providing innovative solutions to our industry and solution providers.”Sophos continues to develop feature-rich threat and data protection solutions that are easy to deploy and manage. In June 2010, the company incorporated Sophos Live Protection technologies into its flagship Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection offering. This new cloud-based architecture arms customers with the industry’s most extensive combination of real-time threat protection and real-time feedback to security and application policy settings. Sophos Live Protection simplifies the rollout of proactive protection for employees inside and outside the office, providing them the protection needed against today’s fast-moving threats such as hijacked websites and targeted malware attacks – without adding additional IT security management overhead.
