BOSTON, Mass. - January 30, 2009 - Sophos’s Director of Global Channel Programs, Chris Doggett sat down with Vice President and Group Publisher Channel Insider, Ziff Davis Enterprise Larry Walsh to discuss IT security spending in 2009 – market challenges and opportunities for the channel. Organizations are facing more compliance with regulations and new security policies and they are looking for security solutions that have enhanced reporting on compliance and can be managed in an efficient manner. According to Doggett, solution providers and customers say that endpoint, compliance and encryption are top priorities especially as threats have become more targeted. Although anti-virus and encryption technologies have been around for some time, organizations haven’t been able protect their data and infrastructure in an integrated fashion. Companies are looking for technologies that are easily managed and run more efficiently especially as IT departments have more responsibility with either the same number of staff or fewer hands of deck. Implementing different point products adds complexity, insufficient reporting and higher costs. Sophos Endpoint Security and Control offers channel partners and customers a viable security option with higher ROI. “There are a lot of opportunities in marketplace for partners as customers are looking for more value out of their existing spend", said Doggett.
