Endpoint Protection #1, Perfect Score
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.
Central Management
Manage your endpoint protection, EDR, XDR and other Sophos solutions from a unified console
Central Management

Sophos Central is the cloud-based management platform for all Sophos solutions. You can investigate potential threats, create and deploy policies, manage your estate, see what is installed where and more, all from the same unified console.
Zero Trust Network Access
Integrated ZTNA for remote workers offering a single-agent, single console secure application access solution
Zero Trust Network Access

The only next-gen endpoint protection that includes a fully integrated Zero Trust Network Access solution to enable your remote users to securely access the applications they need without having to use vulnerable old VPN clients. You get a single agent deployment and reduced footprint on your end-user devices, with a single cloud management console, all from a single vendor.
#1 Rated Protection
In independent third-party testing Sophos consistently blocks more malware and exploits than competing solutions. But don’t take our word for it.

Harness the Power of a Deep Learning Neural Network
Achieve unmatched endpoint threat prevention. Intercept X uses deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning to detect both known and unknown malware without relying on signatures.
Deep learning makes Intercept X smarter, more scalable, and more effective against never-seen-before threats. Intercept X leverages deep learning to outperform endpoint security solutions that use traditional machine learning or signature-based detection alone.
Stop Ransomware in Its Tracks
Block ransomware attacks before they wreak havoc on your organization. Intercept X with XDR includes anti-ransomware technology that detects malicious encryption processes and shuts them down before they can spread across your network. It prevents both file-based and master boot record ransomware.
Any files that were encrypted are rolled back to a safe state, meaning your employees can continue working uninterrupted, with minimal impact to business continuity. You get detailed post-cleanup information, so you can see where the threat got in, what it touched, and when it was blocked.
Intelligent Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
The first EDR designed for security analysts and IT administrators
Intercept X Advanced with EDR allows you to ask any question about what has happened in the past, and what is happening now on your endpoints. Hunt threats to detect active adversaries, or leverage for IT operations to maintain IT security hygiene. When an issue is found remotely respond with precision. By starting with the strongest protection, Intercept X stops breaches before they start. It cuts down the number of items to investigate and saves you time.
