\u201cCybercriminals and other threat actors are unrelenting and unmerciful as they continue to target operations of all shapes and sizes, and as evidenced in the Sophos 2021 Threat Report<\/a>, attackers will continue to get bolder and smarter in the year ahead. It\u2019s critical that organizations \u2013 and the partners that they rely on \u2013 can not only detect increasingly evasive threats, but also respond to them quickly to minimize harm,\u201d said Joe Levy, chief technology officer at Sophos. \u201cSophos has long led the industry, and is widely recognized for setting the standard for channel-optimized cybersecurity. Now, we\u2019re tearing down barriers to proactive, human-led security operations, making managed detection and response (MDR) and incident response services available to businesses of all sizes. Sophos\u2019 managed security services answer a growing market need for always-on security, and enable partners to easily start or expand their existing offerings.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sophos Rapid Response quickly stops security incidents \u2013 including ransomware<\/a>, network breaches, hands-on keyboard adversaries, and more \u2013 to minimize damage and costs, and reduce recovery time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an incredibly challenging year for the North American channel in 2020. Despite facing adversity, the winners at the Channel Innovation Awards are a testament to how MSPs and the vendors that support them can be a force for good for their customers and wider communities,\u201d said Josh Budd, Channel Partner Insight editor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
