Sophos Intercept X continues to perform well in third party tests, and we thought we’d share a few recent results.
Those results include a 100% total accuracy rating by SE Labs, a #1 ranking by AV-Comparatives for malware protection, and an Editors’ Choice designation by PC Magazine.
Our Mac protection also joins in on the fun with a new result from AV-Test. Scoring 18 out of 18, Sophos received the only perfect score in the test.
