"The focus is to align the way we sell products and services to MSPs with the way MSPs sell products and services to their customers," notes Scott Barlow, vice president for global MSP at Sophos. MSP Connect members can buy Intercept X and other Sophos products on a term basis as well if they prefer to forego the monthly payment scheme. Intercept X is a multi-faceted endpoint security solution with built-in safeguards against ransomware, advanced exploits, and spyware, as well as root cause analysis functionality that identifies why successful breaches occurred, lists compromised files, and proposes incident response measures. Until now, Intercept X was the only remaining Sophos product not available through MSP Connect, which already supports other recently launched solutions including SafeGuard Encryption 8, an "always-on" disk encryption solution, and Sophos Wireless, a cloud-managed Wi-Fi security solution with associated Sophos-made wireless access points. Both of those systems debuted in July.
