Sophos Lands 16th Consecutive Gartner MQ Leader Spot for Endpoint Protection

Sophos, a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) – marking the 16th consecutive year the company has earned this recognition since the category’s inception in 2007.

Sophos’ award-winning endpoint security portfolio includes Sophos Endpoint with Intercept X, Extended Detection and Response (EDR/XDR), and Managed Detection and Response (MDR). More than 300,000 organizations worldwide rely on Sophos to protect against evolving cyber threats such as ransomware and active adversaries. A key differentiator is Sophos’ adaptive protection, which dynamically adjusts defenses in real time based on threat activity.

“Sophos’ prevention-first approach is built to stop breaches before they start,” said Kyle Falkenhagen, SVP of Product Management at Sophos. “Being named a Leader for 16 consecutive years underscores our commitment to innovation and staying ahead of cybercriminals.”

Expanded Protection Through Secureworks Integration

Following its acquisition of Secureworks in February 2025, Sophos has integrated the Taegis XDR platform, enabling customers to strengthen their defenses with Sophos Endpoint at no additional cost  improving both security and ROI.

Additionally, Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit (CTU) has joined Sophos X-Ops, Sophos’ advanced threat response team, further enriching global threat intelligence. The CTU brings deep expertise in tracking threat actors and uncovering new attack methods to help customers stay one step ahead.
