Elevate your endpoint defenses
Sophos EDR strengthens your endpoint defenses by enabling you to identify, investigate, and neutralize evasive threats.
Accelerate detection, investigation and response
Sophos Endpoint included
Supports non-Sophos endpoint protection
You can choose to use Sophos Endpoint (included) or a non-Sophos endpoint protection agent like Microsoft Defender.
Automated responses
Fully automated actions like process termination, ransomware rollback, network isolation, and adaptive attack protection, contain threats rapidly and save your team valuable time.
Security analyst responses
Your team can isolate an endpoint or manually engage adaptive attack protection while they investigate suspicious activity, use live response for direct and audited shell access to your devices, and more. Video: Adaptive Attack Protection
AI-prioritized detections
Easily identify suspicious activity that needs immediate attention. Sophos EDR automatically prioritizes detections based on risk, providing full context.
AI case summary
Provides an easy-to-understand overview of detections and recommended next steps, helping you make smart decisions fast.
AI search
Find the data you need quickly, using natural language queries and pre-canned search prompts. No complex SQL required.
AI command analysis
Analyzes complex command line arguments to uncover their intent and impact, with explanations in plain language.
Rich and real-time insights
Analyze endpoint activity in real-time with access to rich on-device data, and search historical events using the Sophos data lake, even when devices are offline.
Device exposure
Identify risky, out-of-date devices that are most vulnerable to threats, enabling you to act quickly to reduce risk.
MITRE ATT&CK Framework mapping
Threat detections are automatically mapped to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, enabling you to easily identify gaps in your defenses.
Multi-platform support
Protect endpoints and servers, both on-premises and in the cloud, across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems — including legacy platforms.
Powerful capabilities for IT Operations and security operations
IT generalists and security analysts can perform operational tasks and remediate threats with speed and precision. Direct, secure, and audited remote shell access to your devices enables you to:
- Install and uninstall software.
- Terminate active processes.
- Run scripts, programs, third-party forensic tools.
- Edit configuration files.
- Shut down and reboot devices.
- And more.
Stop breaches before they start
Validated by consistent top scores in independent security tests, Sophos Endpoint automatically stops more threats before they escalate, so resource-stretched IT teams have fewer incidents to investigate and resolve.

Frequently asked questions
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is an advanced layer of endpoint security that provides real-time visibility across endpoints and servers. It helps organizations accelerate the detection of suspicious activity, enables threat hunting and the investigation of incidents, and allows security teams to respond quickly and with precision.
EDR strengthens security operations by:
- Delivering continuous, real-time telemetry from endpoints and servers.
- Accelerating detection and reducing incident response times.
- Equipping teams with tools to contain, investigate, and remediate threats.
Modern cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, fast-moving, and designed to bypass traditional security tools. EDR provides the visibility, detection capability, and rapid response required to prevent breaches before they begin.
EDR collects endpoint telemetry, analyzes behavior to identify anomalies, and highlights high‑risk events. Security teams can investigate root cause, trace attack paths, and take action to contain threats before they spread.
Organizations use EDR to:
- Detect and contain ransomware.
- Investigate fileless attacks.
- Detect suspicious authentication activity.
- Monitor suspicious PowerShell or command-line activity.
- Track lateral movement.
- Support live response and post-incident investigation.
Antivirus blocks known threats. EPP adds prevention-first technologies such as anti-exploitation and ransomware protection to block known and unknown threats.
EDR goes further by delivering continuous monitoring, threat detection, and automated and human-led incident response capabilities to stop advanced threats that prevention may miss.
EDR provides continuous insight into endpoint activity and highlights high‑risk behavior. Organizations benefit from faster detection, quicker containment, reduced dwell time, and measurable improvements in mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).
Sophos EDR combines prevention-first protection with intelligent detection and response in a unified platform. AI-accelerated features streamline detection and response, helping to prioritize where to focus your attention, quickly understand the threat with world-class threat intelligence, recommended next steps, and rich and real-time insights to quickly and thoroughly respond to threats.
Sophos EDR detects malicious encryption behavior at the file level — even when the encryption originates from another compromised device on the network. If ransomware activity is confirmed, file rollback can automatically restore affected data to a safe state.
Endpoint telemetry is stored in the Sophos Data Lake for real-time and historical analysis. AI-driven prioritization surfaces fewer, higher-confidence alerts, while AI Search and AI Case Summary translate complex activity into clear, actionable insights.
Sophos EDR provides the tools for protection, detection, and response. Sophos MDR adds 24/7 expert-led monitoring, threat hunting, and containment, giving organizations the option to manage EDR themselves or offload operations without adding headcount.
