Sophos Central

Sophos has been building on its Sophos Central centralized management platform throughout 2017, resulting in a "dramatic acceleration" in its uptake by partners. Sophos Central sales grew 220 percent to $87.7 million, the company said, and accounted for 17.1 percent of all subscription billings during the year. That growth has driven cross-selling and upselling rates up, CEO Kris Hagerman said, with endpoint and UTM cross-sell reported at 9.6 percent, up from 7.4 percent in 2016. The Oxford, U.K.-based company has continued to add updates across the platform, integrated through Sophos Central, including an Intercept X anti-ransomware solution for endpoint, a Sophos Server Protection product for anti-ransomware, and a new Phish Threat Attack Simulator.
