Maximise your data protection with Sophos Home

Sophos Home, our preferred product for protecting your home computers

At ShowellTech, we’re big fans of cybersecurity and data protection. We make strong recommendations to our business customers to use commercial data security solutions, such as Sophos’ business products. This ensures their data and systems have advanced protection against malware, exploits, and ransomware. 

Unfortunately for the average home user, the consumer market is flooded with antivirus programs that all claim to “be the best”. AVG, Bitdefender, Eset, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton and Trend Micro just to name a few. While all those products are good and generally offer adequate protection, we have a go-to when it comes to home cybersecurity.

Sophos Home is business-grade cybersecurity that includes real time antivirus protection features, as well as AI to block advanced viruses, malware, exploits, and ransomware.

9 ways Sophos Home keeps your devices protected

  2. Cross-platform protection – one security solution to defend all of your computers. Recent years have seen Apple Macs becoming a more valuable target for cybercriminals. Sophos Home takes the worry out of Mac security with advanced protection from specialised Mac malware and ransomware attacks.
