Sophisticated technologies block the broadest range of attacks.
Easy to deploy and identify drifts in security posture, with strong protection enabled by default.
Top-rated protection with industry-leading results in third-party testing.
Prevention-First Approach
Sophos Intercept X takes a comprehensive approach to endpoint protection without relying on one security technique. Web, application, and peripheral controls reduce your attack surface and block common attack vectors. AI, behavioral analysis, anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and other state-of-the-art technologies stop threats fast before they escalate. This means resource-stretched IT teams have fewer incidents to investigate and resolve.
Anti-Ransomware
Intercept X includes patented CryptoGuard technology that universally detects and stops ransomware in its tracks, including new variants and both local and remote ransomware attacks. Using advanced mathematical analysis of file contents, CryptoGuard detects malicious encryption wherever it takes place. Any maliciously encrypted files are automatically rolled back to their unencrypted state, irrespective of size or file type, minimizing the business impact.
Anti-Exploitation
Straight out of the box, Intercept X builds on the basic protection available in Microsoft Windows, adding no fewer than 60 proprietary, pre-configured, and tuned exploit mitigations. Intercept X protects against fileless attacks and zero-day exploits by stopping the techniques used throughout the attack chain.
Context-Sensitive Defenses
Industry-first dynamic defenses automate protection that adapts in response to active adversaries and hands-on-keyboard attacks.
Adaptive Attack Protection
Adaptive Attack Protection dynamically enables heightened defenses on an endpoint when a "hands-on-keyboard" attack is detected. This prevents an attacker from taking further actions by minimizing the attack surface and disrupting and containing the attack, buying valuable time to respond.
Critical Attack Warning
A Critical Attack Warning alerts you if adversary activity is detected across multiple endpoints or servers. It alerts all administrators in Sophos Central, informing you of the situation and providing attack details. You can respond using Sophos XDR, seek assistance from your partner, or ask the Sophos Incident Response team for help.
Easy to Set Up and Manage
Sophos Central is a cloud-based platform for managing your Sophos products. Our recommended protection technologies are enabled by default, so you immediately have the strongest protection settings with no tuning required. Granular control is also available.
Account Health Check
Poorly configured policy settings, exclusions, and other factors can compromise your security posture. The Account Health Check identifies security posture drift and high-risk misconfigurations, enabling administrators to remediate issues with one click.
Protect All Of Your Endpoints
Get complete protection for all of your endpoints. Works across all of your desktops, laptops, servers, tablets, and mobile devices. Works across all major operating systems.
Detection and Response
Endpoint Detection and Response
Powerful EDR functionality enables you to hunt for, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity across your endpoints and servers.
Endpoint Detection and Response
Sophos integrates powerful EDR with the robust prevention-first approach of Intercept X. Blocking more threats up front means there is less to investigate later. Detections are prioritized with AI-driven analysis, allowing you to see where to focus your valuable time. Remotely access devices to further investigate, install and uninstall software, or remediate any issues. Compared to other EDR tools, it adds expertise, not headcount, by replicating the skills of hard-to-find analysts.

Intercept X Endpoint Features
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Automatically detect and prioritize potential threats and quickly see where to focus attention and know which machines may be impacted
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR integrates powerful endpoint detection and response (EDR) with the industry’s top-rated endpoint protection. Built for both IT security operations and threat hunting, Intercept X detects and investigates suspicious activity with AI-driven analysis. Unlike other EDR tools, it adds expertise, not headcount by replicating the skills of hard-to-find analysts.
Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Go beyond the endpoint by incorporating cross-product data sources for even more visibility
Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR is the industry’s only XDR solution that synchronizes native endpoint, server, firewall, email, cloud and O365 security. Get a holistic view of your organization’s environment with the richest data set and deep analysis for threat detection, investigation and response for both dedicated SOC teams and IT admins.
Anti-Ransomware
Ransomware file protection, automatic file recovery, and behavioral analysis to stop ransomware and boot record attacks
Anti-Ransomware
Today’s ransomware attacks often combine multiple advanced techniques with real-time hacking. To minimize your risk of falling victim you need advanced protection that monitors and secures the whole attack chain. Sophos Intercept X gives you advanced protection technologies that disrupt the whole attack chain including deep learning that predictively prevents attacks and CryptoGuard which rolls back the unauthorized encryption of files in seconds.
Deep Learning Technology
Artificial intelligence built into Intercept X that detects both known and unknown malware without relying on signatures
Deep Learning Technology
By integrating deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning, Intercept X is changing endpoint security from a reactive to a predictive approach to protect against both known and never-seen-before threats. While many products claim to use machine learning, not all machine learning is created equally. Deep learning has consistently outperformed other machine learning models for malware detection.
Exploit Prevention
Deny attackers by blocking the exploits and techniques used to distribute malware, steal credentials, and escape detection
Exploit Prevention
Exploit prevention stops the techniques used in file-less, malware-less, and exploit-based attacks. While there are millions of pieces of malware in existence, and thousands of software vulnerabilities waiting to be exploited, there are only handful of exploit techniques attackers rely on as part of the attack chain – and by taking away the key tools hackers love to use, Intercept X stops zero-day attacks before they can get started.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Elite team of MDR threat hunters and response experts who take targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats
Managed Detection and Response
Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provides 24/7 threat hunting, detection, and response capabilities delivered by an expert team as a fully-managed service. Sophos MDR fuses machine learning technology and expert analysis for improved threat hunting and detection, deeper investigation of alerts, and targeted actions to eliminate threats with speed and precision. Unlike other services, the Sophos MDR team goes beyond simply notifying you of attacks or suspicious behaviors, and takes targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated and complex threats.
Active Adversary Mitigations
Active adversary mitigation prevents persistence on machines, credential theft protection, and malicious traffic detection
Active Adversary Mitigations
Intercept X utilizes a range of techniques, including credential theft prevention, code cave utilization detection, and APC protection that attackers use to gain a presence and remain undetected on victim networks. As attackers have increasingly focused on techniques beyond malware in order to move around systems and networks as a legitimate user, Intercept X detects and prevents this behavior in order to prevent attackers from completing their mission.
