AV-Comparatives Awards 2023 for Sophos

Sophos achieved great success in AV-Comparatives’ Enterprise Main-Test Series of 2023. The tests covered different protection scenarios, system performance, and false positives.

Sophos Intercept X Advanced is a professional security product that can manage networks with up to hundreds of thousands of seats. As well as malware protection, the product includes investigative functions for analysing and remediating targeted cyber-attacks.

Sophos Intercept X Advanced provides a cloud-based console for managing the endpoint protection software. This has a clean and modern design, navigated from a single menu column. Alerts are displayed in categories according to severity, and detailed information is provided for each one. A comprehensive search feature is provided, along with a security blog. An early-access program lets you try out new features in advance.

AV-Comparatives’ tests are very carefully designed and executed to thoroughly and realistically simulate scenarios that face users in real life. Consequently, a certification by AV-Comparatives is a guarantee of an effective and reliable product. An “Approved Product” award means that the software has been rigorously checked to ensure that it will perform its intended task competently. It is an industry-recognised standard of quality.

AV-Comparatives’ tests have multiple aspects, to represent the different requirements of IT security solutions. Further awards highlight the effectiveness of individual programs in different protection scenarios, low false positives, and low impact on system performance. Users can thus see which programs score highly in the categories that matter most to them.
