Sophos’ unified, automated console provides a single point from which to deploy, update and report on
both anti-virus and firewall protection across thousands of Windows, Mac and Linux computers. By
simplifying and automating protection, we drive down your costs, ensuring fewer clicks per task and
better visibility of your entire network.

each server across multiple platforms from one view. One console to manage all your Windows,
Mac OS X, and Linux platforms.
Unified Single Anti-Malware Scanner:

3. Independent & Analyst Reviews
ImageTrak Business IT Survey Ranks
SOPHOS highest in customer
satisfaction.
Each security vendor was scored against
five satisfaction criteria - quality of
support, ease of integration,
manageability, reliability and return on
investment. Sophos was rated very
highly throughout and was classed as
either the No. 1 or No. 2 brand
consistently ahead of key competitors,
McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro.
Faster Response than Alternatives
Independent analysis regularly shows that
Sophos responds more quickly than other
leading vendors. This is a great testament to
our rapid response to virus outbreaks from our
global network of integrated virus, spyware
and spam analysis centers and the innovative
proactive detection capabilities of our
Genotype™ virus detection technology -
True Alternative to Symantec and
McAfee
Sophos successfully intercepted 86% of
the malware tested against prior to
execution, compared to 43% for McAfee
and 51% for Symantec. In addition,
Sophos's run-time HIPS protection
detected further malware samples at
execution raising proactive detection of
zero-day threats to an "impressive" 97% in
Cascadia Labs' anti-virus tests.

4. Leader in Zero-Day Protection
Sophos detected more new unknown malware reported to the independent AVIEWS mailing list in
a four month period than any other vendor. AVIEWS is the Anti-Virus Information & Early Warning
System, an online community that shares information about breaking malware threats between
anti-virus vendors, researchers, security experts, and system administrators.
In the four month study Sophos was found to proactively detect 80% of all unknown malware
reported to the mailing list, higher than any other vendor, compared to 50% for Microsoft, 35% for
Symantec and 30% for McAfee.

5. Gartner Magic Quadrant
“Sophos…has a
better understanding
of business needs,
particularly the need
to provide return on
investment for the
buyer and to
balance advanced
features with low
administration."
Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms is based on an assessment of a company's
ability to execute and completeness of vision. According to Gartner, "Leaders demonstrate balanced
progress and effort in all execution and vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all
products in the market, and they can change the course of the industry."
Gartner specifically identified the following strengths in Sophos as deserving of a position in the Leaders
Quadrant:
• Significantly improved and simple management, that gives a real time view from which actions
can be immediately taken (e.g. force an update on all those computers).
• Excellent integrated network access control (NAC) capability with the ability to monitor, assess
and remediate competitive EPP clients (NAC will be available April 2008).
• Roadmap commitments for data encryption, with basic media port controls already in place.
