Sophos Named a Champion in Omdia Cybersecurity MSP Ecosystems Leadership Matrix 2026

Sophos has been recognized as a Champion in the Omdia Cybersecurity MSP Ecosystems Leadership Matrix 2026, reinforcing its position as a leading force in managed security services and partner-driven cybersecurity innovation. The recognition highlights Sophos’ ability to deliver at-scale managed detection and response (MDR), along with a strong partner-first strategy that is helping managed service providers (MSPs) expand their capabilities and grow sustainably.

The Omdia report evaluates cybersecurity vendors on criteria such as partner program execution, managed service enablement, portfolio strength, and ecosystem momentum. Sophos stood out for its comprehensive approach, combining a widely adopted MDR service with flexible commercial models and an integrated platform designed to support MSP growth.

Sophos MDR currently protects more than 40,000 customers globally, along with an additional 235,000 customers served through MSP partners. This scale provides partners with a reliable, 24/7 managed security offering that can be delivered to organizations at varying stages of cybersecurity maturity. The service is designed to align with the operational realities of MSPs, enabling them to provide consistent, high-quality security services without added complexity.

Complementing this is Sophos’ partner program, which is structured to support long-term growth. New partners benefit from immediate commercial incentives, while high-performing partners can unlock advanced benefits such as growth rebates and investments through the Titanium Tier. Training and certification programs further strengthen partner capabilities by developing technical expertise needed to close enterprise deals.

Sophos’ MSP Elevate Program adds another layer of value, offering predictable pricing models, flexible billing options, and incentives tied to service expansion. This framework allows MSPs to scale recurring revenue streams while maintaining financial visibility and operational efficiency.

In addition to its current offerings, Sophos continues to innovate its portfolio. New solutions such as Workspace Protection, built around the Sophos Protected Browser, extend security capabilities for modern, distributed work environments. Looking ahead, Sophos plans to launch CISO Advantage, a solution combining AI, threat intelligence, and expert services to help MSPs deliver strategic cybersecurity leadership at scale.

Notably, Sophos was one of only three vendors recognized across both the MSP Ecosystems and Platform Ecosystems Leadership Matrices by Omdia, reflecting its dual strength in enterprise-grade platforms and partner-led service delivery.

The recognition underscores a growing industry trend: as cyber threats become more sophisticated, MSPs are increasingly relying on integrated platforms and strong vendor partnerships to deliver resilient, scalable security solutions to their customers.
