Its Sophos Central innovation is designed as a complete system, synchronized to predict and adapt to attacks using artificial intelligence and easily managed from a single cloud-based platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can now offer Sophos security on an MSP monthly rental basis rather than an out-of-the-box yearly solution, paid upfront,\u201d says Blue Orange Operations Manager Tristan Carter. \u201cThis allows us to sell on a more flexible leasing style basis. There\u2019s much more customer flexibility and ways we can manage our Sophos service \u2013 in line with other software-based business solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about being able to demonstrate our enhanced expertise and provide more ways customers can take advantage of our support.
