Sophos, a world leader in threat management solutions, has been named a "hot company" by Info Security Products Guide, a leading publication on security-related products and technologies.
Sophos was recognised in the security category. Selected from an industry analysis of more than 500 prominent information security vendors from around the world, this prestigious honour comes to Sophos based upon stern selection-criteria of the four 'P's: products, people, performance and potential.
The Hot Companies 2007 selection also helps raise the bar significantly for others in the industry to provide end-users with effective and deployable, protective solutions against the next generation of highly sophisticated and super-blended attacks.
"Security is now one of the top three issues with almost every organisation around the world including at an individual level, where identity thefts have increased rapidly over the past few months," says Rake Narang, managing editor of Info Security Products Guide, published by Silicon Valley Communications.
"Vendors building their success-strategy based on the four pillars of strength, mainly the four 'P's under which we have evaluated security vendors of all sizes around the world, are the ones that are best positioned to keep your digital resources secured in 2007. Sophos is a key player in the security space."
"Sophos has taken great strides to offer its customers comprehensive security solutions. This award validates those efforts," says Brett Myroff, CEO of master Sophos distributor, NetXactics.
