Intercept X for Server Features
Cloud Native Security
Advanced Windows and Linux protection and visibility across your cloud, on-premises, and virtual server workloads.
Cloud Native Security

Secure your Windows and Linux* deployments whether they are in the multi-cloud, on-premises, virtual or a mix of them all. Deployment across mixed setups is straightforward, using a singular agent. Policies can also be applied to all servers even in mixed environments, making deployment, configuration and management quick and easy.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Go beyond the server by incorporating cross-product data source for even more visibility.
Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

Sophos Intercept X Advanced for Server 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 stops 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 for Server gives you advanced protection capabilities 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 for Server 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 for Server is changing server security from a reactive to a predictive approach to protect against both known and never-seen-before threats. While many products claim to have 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.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Detect cloud security and compliance configuration risk, anomalous activity, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Detect your Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud workloads in addition to other critical cloud services such as serverless functions, database and S3 buckets. Identify suspicious activity or insecure cloud deployments and close security gaps.
Server Lockdown
Prevent unauthorized programs running on your servers and receive notification if attempts are made to tamper with critical files.
Server Lockdown & File Integrity Monitoring

Server Lockdown (whitelisting) ensures that only the applications you want on your servers can be run. It only takes a single click and it doesn’t require server downtime. File integrity monitoring (FIM) notifies you if attempts are made to tamper with critical files.
Linux Detection
Identify sophisticated attacks as they happen without requiring a kernel module, orchestration, baselining, or system scans.
Linux Detection
When uptime is your no.1 requirement, security tools must be lightweight and integrate into your DevSecOps workflows to prevent risk and optimize application performance. Sophos protection for Linux identify sophisticated attacks as they happen without requiring a kernel module, orchestration, baselining, or system scans. Avoiding costly downtime, overloaded hosts, or stability snafus caused by traditional security tools with a single agent with optimized resource limits (including CPU, memory, and data collection limits).
*See the Linux datasheet for details on Linux capabilities
Minimize Time to Detect and Respond
Sophos Cloud Workload Protection provides complete visibility into your host and container workloads, identifying malware, exploits, and anomalous behavior before they get a foothold.
- Extended detection and response (XDR) provides complete visibility of hosts, containers, endpoints, the network, and even cloud provider native services
- Cloud-native behavioral and exploit runtime detections identify threats including container escapes, kernel exploits, and privilege escalation attempts
- Streamlined threat investigation workflows prioritize high-risk incident detections and consolidate connected events to increase efficiency
- Integrated Live Response establishes a secure command line terminal to hosts for remediation

Integrate with Security, IT, and DevOps
Flexible, lightweight server host and container protection is optimized for performance. Available as an agent or via API for Linux to integrate with your security operations, IT, and DevOps processes.

Single Host Agent

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud
Secure applications and data across your hybrid cloud footprint from a single console. The flexible agent runs on-premises, in data centers, hybrid and multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle Cloud.
Block Unknown Threats
Intercept X for Server uses deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning that detects both known and unknown malware without relying on signatures.
Deep learning makes Intercept X for Server smarter, more scalable, and more effective against never-seen-before threats. Intercept X for Server leverages deep learning to outperform security solutions that use traditional machine learning or signature-based detection alone.


Stop Ransomware in Its Tracks
Intercept X for Server includes anti-ransomware capabilities that detect malicious encryption processes and block them before they can spread across your network. Both file-based and master boot record (MBR) ransomware is stopped.
Any encrypted files are rolled back to a safe state so your employees can continue working uninterrupted, minimizing the 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 neutralized.
