Airtight ransomware protection
Sophos Endpoint is the industry’s most robust zero-touch endpoint defense against remote ransomware. CryptoGuard technology stops malicious encryption in real-time and automatically rolls back any affected files to their original state, minimizing business impact. Sophos Endpoint’s universal approach uses advanced analysis of file contents to protect your data from both local and remote ransomware attacks, including new variants.

Critical attack warning
A critical attack warning alerts you if adversarial activity is detected across multiple endpoints or servers. It notifies all administrators in the Sophos Central unified security management platform of the situation and provides attack details. You can respond using Sophos XDR, seek assistance from your partner, or ask the Sophos Incident Response team for help.

Anti-exploitation
Straight out of the box, Sophos Endpoint builds on the basic protection available in Microsoft Windows, adding more than 60 proprietary and preconfigured exploit mitigations. Sophos Endpoint protects against fileless attacks and zero-day exploits by stopping the techniques used by adversaries throughout the attack chain.

Account health check
Poorly configured policy settings, exclusions, and other factors can compromise your security posture. The account health check feature identifies security posture drift and high-risk misconfigurations, enabling administrators to remediate issues with one click.

Adaptive attack protection
Adaptive attack protection dynamically enables heightened defenses on an endpoint when a hands-on-keyboard attack is detected. This prevents a cybercriminal from taking further actions by minimizing the attack surface and disrupting and containing the attack, buying valuable time to respond.

Device encryption
With many devices lost or stolen daily, full disk encryption is a crucial first line of defense. Sophos device encryption is integrated with Sophos Endpoint for managing BitLocker (Windows) and FileVault (macOS). Recovery keys are securely escrowed, providing peace of mind. Administrators can view their devices' encryption status and demonstrate compliance. End users can access self-service options to recover their devices, removing a burden from IT.
Server Workload Protection

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Container Security
Sophos XDR provides complete visibility into your server host and container workloads, identifying exploits and anomalous behaviors before they get a foothold. Sophos XDR identifies attacks as they happen within Linux operating systems, by leveraging analytics around attacker behavior, from initial access, privilege escalation, defense evasion, data collection, exfiltration and more. Deploy a lightweight Sophos sensor wherever you have Linux - in public or private cloud environments, in containers or VMs, and on your on-premises hosts.
