About Sophos
Founded in 1985 by Jan Hruska and Peter Lammer, Sophos began its operations in the United Kingdom developing antivirus and encryption solutions. During the 1990s, the company expanded internationally, establishing itself as a cybersecurity leader. Over the years, Sophos acquired several companies to expand its portfolio, including Utimaco Safeware AG in 2008 and Astaro in 2011. In 2020, it was acquired by the private equity firm Thoma Bravo for approximately $3.9 billion. In 2024, Joe Levy was appointed as the company’s permanent CEO.
Gartner-recognized leader in digital security
Sophos was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms for the 15th consecutive time in 2024. It also received the "Customers’ Choice" badge in all 11 industry segments in Gartner's "Voice of the Customer" report, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 473 reviews.

Why Sophos?
The solution that keeps up with evolving threats
Brazil stood out as one of the main targets of cyberattacks in 2024, recording an impressive 356 billion attack attempts, according to Fortinet data published by TecMundo. The weekly average of attacks per organization increased by 67%, reaching 2,754 attacks per week in the second quarter, according to a Check Point report cited by IT Forum. In the third quarter, this number rose even further to 2,766 weekly attacks, a 95% increase compared to the previous year, according to 'Security Leaders'.
The economic consequences are alarming: cyberattacks caused estimated losses of R$ 2.3 trillion, equivalent to 18% of Brazil’s GDP in 2024, according to a report published by Estadão. Small and medium-sized companies were the most vulnerable — about 60% closed their doors within six months of an attack, according to the same source.
This scenario reinforces the urgency for solutions like Sophos MDR, which combines artificial intelligence and 24/7 human monitoring to detect, analyze, and respond to cyber threats quickly and efficiently.
