Killer Question: How is Sophos empowering partners to combat cyber threats?

We ask Sophos’ EMEA SVP how data and enablement can help partners again ever-evolving cyber threats

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, businesses of all sizes face an uphill battle against sophisticated cyber threats.

Recognising the critical role of partners and managed service providers (MSPs) in this fight, Sophos is arming its channel network with data insights and comprehensive enablement to ensure their customers remain protected.

In this instalment of CRN's Killer Question, Gerard Allison, EMEA SVP at Sophos, sheds light on the company's approach to empowering its partners.

Sophos is leveraging its global Sophos X-Ops task force, which combines threat intelligence, security operations, and artificial intelligence to provide real-time insights into cyber threats.

This wealth of knowledge, gathered from Sophos' diverse product portfolio, including endpoint, firewall, and network solutions, is seamlessly integrated into Sophos Central, the company's cloud-based management platform, enabling automatic detection and prevention of attacks in progress.

Allison emphasises that Sophos is uniquely positioned to deliver real-time threat intelligence to its channel partners, drawing from decades of experience and expertise.

Recognising the global skills shortage in cybersecurity, Sophos is also prioritising partner enablement through comprehensive training and education programmes. These initiatives empower partners to effectively leverage data insights and offer advanced services, such as Managed Detection and Response (MDR), to their customers.
