Experts on cybersecurity when you need them
Against the chaotic backdrop of the virus outbreak's economic and social pressures, those in the IT profession has continued to achieve the seemingly impossible: do more with less, while in solitary confinement. It is a monumental task to support a remote workforce to achieve its goals effectively and safely. There was already a global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals before this pandemic: an estimated workforce gap of 4.07 million. Securing an organization has never been a trivial issue, and the current climate has only made this shortage worse. Sophos is incredibly fortunate to be a leader in cybersecurity across endpoint, network, and cloud.
Where most organizations struggle to hire and retain security professionals, because of
the sheer scale at which we operate, they are resilient to those struggles. When our staff walks over to the water cooler (albeit now virtual), they talk to other security people about safety.
When they need guidance, they can talk to industry veterans and experts directly within MTR, Sophos Labs, and across the entire organization.
This challenge already exists in various research, development, and service groups as well as in the diversity of our customer landscape when they are looking for a new challenge. It is an environment that attracts and honors the industry's best operators and provides a virtuous optimization circle between technology and those human operators. It is an honor to be given the trust and responsibility of helping in such a short space of time to defend so many organizations around the globe. This is an important milestone that enables Sophos to protect more customers in an ever more effective fashion than ever before. And the accomplishments so far are just the start.
