Sophos eyeing Indian Mid-Market

Sophos has announced its strategy to strengthen its market presence in the Indian “Mid-Market & Pragmatic Enterprise” to over 40% in the next three to four years. This would enable Sophos to further consolidate its position in the Indian cybersecurity industry.

Seeing an opportunity in the Indian mid-market which is a massive under-served market, Sophos will be adopting “Project Galileo Strategy”, whereby it will further consolidate its approach of shifting the security world from individual, standalone components to integrated end-user, server and network protection that compare notes, correlate, and proactively respond to threats.

"We believe there is a massive opportunity to use new technologies like Cloud, Big Data, and the ability to connect different ‘silos’ of IT security (like network, endpoint, and mobile) to deliver better security for Indian businesses.  And there is also a chance to combine great technology with a focus on a simple and approachable user experience and design that has been largely missing from the IT security landscape", said Kris Hagerman, Chief Executive Officer, Sophos.

"The most important part of our strategic approach is that we will continue to remain a 100-per cent channel company. This will further enhance our reach across the Indian mid-market and pragmatic enterprise,” said Kuldeep Raina, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Sophos.

With the evolution of pragmatic enterprise, wherein it is more about how an enterprise runs its IT than its size, Sophos see an opportunity in this vertical too with its single unified Cloud-based management platform that will incorporate its entire portfolio of user-based security across end users, mobile ,servers and networks.
