Last year, Sophos brought its anti-ransomware CryptoGuard technology from their Intercept X endpoint solution onto their server product, but now the server solution has been rebranded and fully infused with the full capabilities of Intercept X.
Sophos also introduced Project Darwin, their initiative to integrate the machine learning technology they acquired with Invincea last year, and which has been limited to their Intercept X solution, into their broader Synchronized Security offering.
The changes, which will see partners who sell through the cloud Exchanges receive back-end rebates and program credit for the first time, are part of a new initiative that establishes a new Sophos Cloud Security Provider cert in the company’s partner program.
Sophos also launched a new Hot Line to provide competitive intelligence, made changes to their post-sales technical skills certification and should have a new Cloud Security Provider program by the fall.
The channel integration plans are of particular interest given that Invincea had been featuring some innovative aspects in their channel program before Sophos acquired them
Already pushing hard to expand its hardware business, Sophos announces its acquisition of India’s Cyberoam, a maker of unified threat management appliances.
