The flagship Sophos lab gets real-time feed from over a hundred and fifty (150) countries and OEM partners. “This speaks volume about our research and the quality of products which we are coming out with. Most of our products are part of Gartner’s leadership quadrant. As of today, we are protecting almost 2 million end users, which again talks big as to our customer capabilities around the globe. We serve across all market verticals starting from IT/ ITES, BFSI, Manufacturing, hospitality, etc. To serve these customers, we have 20,000 partners globally.” The fact that Sophos does all its business through these partners helps in building the trust which lacks in security brands which do part of their business through partners and part of it directly. “There is no trust in such an ecosystem.”

Sophos announces its financial results recently on 17th of May. India has been a major driver to the growth of the company globally. “We are a $632Million company globally. In India, we have grown around 37.5 percent Y-o-Y which I believe would be one of the highest rates across all industry.” At the global level, in terms of revenue bifurcation, Sophos has an almost equal share in the endpoint security and network security business. We have a 50-50 % share in both endpoint and network security which is testimony to our leadership on both the sides.” As per Sharma, around eight thousand customers worldwide use Sophos’ signature-less anti ransomware solution. This is a substantial number in comparison to market statistics. “Our simple partner program helps us deliver the best solutions to the customers,” Sharma summarizes, “Whether it is in terms of enablement, profitability or in terms of managing and moving security from one level to the next. We have an edge against our competition in almost all aspects. This is the primary reason why the fact that we are a strong force in Enterprise Security is now acknowledged by stakeholders who have been in the space for over 25 years… and that speaks volumes to what Sophos is doing in the country today.”
