What is cloud security and why do I need it?

Cloud security protects the compute, containers, and cloud services that power your business, detecting threats, preventing attacks, and enabling fast response across your cloud environment. It's built for the speed, scale, and shared-responsibility model of modern cloud infrastructure.

How does Sophos deliver cloud security across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle OCI?

Sophos ingests native telemetry directly from all four major cloud platforms, including control plane logs, network traffic, identity events, and platform-specific findings, and correlates them in a unified XDR console alongside endpoint, network, and identity signals. This gives security teams complete visibility and the ability to investigate and respond from a single place.

Does Sophos cloud security protect Kubernetes and container environments?

Yes. Sophos secures both Kubernetes nodes and the container workloads running on them, with runtime detection across container environments including Docker, containers, CRI-O, and others. Detections are built around the threat models of cloud-native systems, with visibility that extends into non-root namespaces where most security tools have blind spots.

What is the difference between cloud security with XDR and fully managed cloud security?

Sophos XDR is a self-managed solution that gives your security team unified visibility and investigation tools across cloud, endpoint, network, and identity. Sophos MDR is a fully managed cloud security service where Sophos experts, backed by an Agentic SOC, handle 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and response on your behalf.

How does AI improve cloud security threat detection?

AI-driven threat detection identifies malware, exploits, anomalous behaviors, and cloud platform-specific attacks across your workloads and cloud services. Within Sophos MDR, AI agents autonomously triage alerts and conduct investigations, resolving 52% of cases end-to-end in an average of 89 seconds.

How does Sophos protect against identity-based attacks in cloud environments?

Sophos ITDR integrates with Microsoft Entra ID to monitor for credential abuse, privilege escalation, IAM misconfigurations, and impossible travel sign-ins, feeding identity signals directly into the Sophos XDR workflow alongside cloud, endpoint, and network data.

Unified detection and response

Attackers don't stay in one place — they move across cloud, endpoint, network, and identity systems. Sophos XDR connects signals from your entire estate into a single workflow, so you can follow an attack from first entry to full resolution.

Multi-cloud platform coverage

Full protection across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. However you build in the cloud, Sophos delivers comprehensive defense across every host, container, and cloud service.

Identity-focused cloud security

Compromised identities are the fastest path through your cloud environment. Sophos brings cloud identity signals into your workflow, detecting credential abuse and IAM misconfigurations before they become breaches.

Minimize o tempo de detecção e resposta

O Sophos Workload Protection agora oferece visibilidade completa de suas cargas de trabalho no host e contêiner, identificando comportamentos anômalos e protegendo-as antes que malwares e exploits se coloquem em posição de ataque.

Detecção e resposta estendidas (XDR) oferecem visibilidade total de seus hosts, contêineres, endpoints, redes e serviços na nuvem.
Detecções comportamentais nativas na nuvem e em tempo de execução de exploits identificam ameaças, incluindo de escapes de contêiner, exploits de kernel e tentativas de escalonamento de privilégios.
Fluxos de trabalho de investigação de ameaças agilizados priorizam as detecções de incidentes de alto risco e consolidam eventos conectados para aumentar a eficiência.
O Live Response integrado estabelece um terminal de linha de comando seguro para a remediação pelos hosts.

Integra-se com a Segurança, TI e DevOps

Combata ameaças com detecções acionáveis e visibilidade de host e contêiner em tempo de execução através do modelo de implantação que melhor se adapta ao seu ambiente.

Agentes de host Linux e Windows leves

Proteja seus hosts e contêineres com um único agente gerenciado através do painel de gerenciamento do Sophos Central. Investigue e responda com facilidade a ameaças de comportamento, exploits e malwares em um mesmo lugar e aumente a higiene de TI com detecções automatizadas, consultas intuitivas e resposta remota.

Inteligência de ameaças Linux integrada

Ajustada para oferecer o máximo de desempenho, potencializa o fluxo de trabalho de suas operações de segurança. Inclui um sensor Linux ultraleve que pode ser integrado ao host e a detecções em tempo de execução de exploits e comportamentos via API, complementando suas ferramentas existentes de resposta a incidentes, gerenciamento de logs, orquestração e automação.

Broad platform coverage.
Uncompromising protection.

Cloud workloads run on many platforms and every one of them is a potential attack surface. Sophos delivers full protection across Linux and Windows operating systems, with a lean, low-overhead agent designed for cloud environments where every resource has a cost. Ingest native telemetry from AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, and correlate cloud signals with endpoint, identity, and network data to detect and shut down complex, multi-vector attacks.

Comprehensive Linux distro coverage

Full protection across the Linux distributions most common in cloud environments, including RHEL, Ubuntu LTS, Amazon Linux, Debian, Oracle Linux, and CentOS Stream, on both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures.

Kubernetes and containers

Sophos secures container workloads and Kubernetes environments, protecting both the nodes and the containers running on them, with runtime detection including inside non-root namespaces, where most tools have blind spots.

Windows Server, fully covered

Windows Server is a critical part of many cloud estates. Sophos delivers full protection across all current versions, including anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and AI-powered threat detection.

Optimized for cloud performance.

Sophos is engineered to run lean. Minimal CPU and memory footprint means your workloads perform as expected and your cloud spend stays predictable. No performance trade-offs.

Resolva incidentes de segurança mais rápido

Nosso painel de detecção intuitivo aumenta a eficiência da resposta a incidentes. Ameaças a host e contêiner são identificadas e investigadas automaticamente, e cada detecção recebe uma pontuação de risco individualizada e priorizada pela IA. As pontuações são codificadas por cor e mapeadas a uma estrutura MITRE ATT@CK, permitindo que um analista de segurança priorize, responda e corrija rapidamente as detecções.

As detecções incluem: malware direcionado a Linux, corrupção de memória, novo comportamento de arquivo, comportamento incomum do aplicativo, shell interativo suspeito, escapes de contêiner, backdoors de kernel e userland, operações privilegiadas de arquivos, descoberta de rede, movimento lateral interno, injeção de processo, descoberta de sistema, alterações de tarefas agendadas, uso de compilador, uso de comando privilegiado e atividade arriscada de desenvolvedor.
