Ransomware Solution Brief

Automate Incident Response Across Your Government Agency

Protect your systems and data wherever they are with Sophos Synchronized Security, which combines all Sophos products to share threat, health, and security information in real time and automatically respond to incidents. Synchronized Security is powered by the Sophos Adaptive Cybersecurity Ecosystem (ACE), which encompasses Sophos threat intelligence, next-gen technologies, data lake, APIs, and Sophos Central management platform to deliver constantly learning and improving cyber protection.

Safeguard Your Classified Data

Secure Data Across Your Endpoints

Sophos Intercept X stops the latest cybersecurity threats across your endpoint devices such as ransomware, file-less attacks, exploits, and malware. Our data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities identify your sensitive data and prevent leaks via email, uploads, and local copying.

Protect Your Server-Specific Data

Sophos Server Workload Protection provides server and container security for your on-premises, data center, and multi-cloud environments. It stops advanced attacks and quickly identifies and addresses suspicious activities.

Prevent Attacks from Reaching Your Data

Sophos Firewall uses AI-powered threat detection technology to prevent attacks before they can reach your sensitive data and other parts of your ecosystem. Network segmentation via zones and VLANs protects against lateral movement of threats.

Stop Data Breaches

Sophos Email offers granular control of your data breach prevention policies and seamlessly encrypts your sensitive data to stop breaches.

Protect Data Stored on Lost and Stolen Devices

Sophos Encryption provides a quick, easy way to encrypt your Windows and macOS devices, so you can protect your devices and data and prove compliance if they are lost or stolen.

See the Full Cybersecurity Picture

Get visibility and context across your cybersecurity posture with Sophos Extended Detection and Response (XDR), which detects and investigates cyberattacks on your endpoints, servers, firewalls, emails, and other data sources.

Take the Zero Trust Approach

Zero trust has become a major focus area for the U.S. government in the last few years. An executive order issued by President Biden in May 2021 included the use of zero-trust architecture to strengthen federal government computer systems and networks.

Sophos Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) removes implicit trust from your applications, end-users, and devices and allows you to segment access across your systems and resources. It constantly validates your users, devices, and policy compliance before granting access to your applications and data.

With Sophos ZTNA, you can use a single-agent, single-console, single-vendor solution for both ZTNA and your next-gen endpoint protection. Sophos ZTNA integrates with Sophos Intercept X, and they constantly share status and health information with each other to automatically isolate compromised systems and prevent threats from moving across your systems and stealing your data.

Secure Your Multi-Cloud Environments

Government organizations are rapidly adopting the cloud and implementing multi-cloud infrastructure with workloads spread across multiple public, private, and edge cloud platforms. This makes it more complex than ever before to maintain visibility and control over users, applications, and data.

Sophos Cloud Native Security provides complete multi-cloud security coverage across your environments, workloads, and identities. It offers flexible host and container workload security for Windows and Linux to protect your cloud infrastructure and data. Our multi-layered technologies protect against ransomware and other advanced attacks and identify threats such as container escapes, kernel exploits, and privilege-escalation attempts.

Meet Your Compliance Reporting Requirements

overnment organizations must adhere to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and other regulations. But, a lack of skilled IT and financial resources can make it tough to create compliance reports and demonstrate compliance.

Sophos Central provides flexible reporting tools so you can visualize your network activities and security. It offers built-in compliance reports and easy-to-use tools for creating custom reports.

Sophos Encryption lets you verify your encryption status and show you are complying with regulations. It is especially useful in cases where your devices are lost or stolen and you need to prove that these missing devices are encrypted.
