Sophos Intercept X

Advanced Threat Prevention
Deep learning AI detects never-before-seen malware with high accuracy.
Stops zero-day threats that traditional antivirus misses.

Ransomware Protection (CryptoGuard)
Detects and rolls back unauthorized encryption of files caused by ransomware.
It even protects from unknown ransomware strains.

Exploit Prevention
Blocks techniques attackers use to exploit software or OS vulnerabilities.
Prevents attacks before malware even executes.

EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response)
Gives visibility into how threats entered and spread.
Enables root cause analysis, threat hunting, and forensic insights.

Automated Incident Response
Automatically isolates infected devices from the network.
Stops the threat from spreading while remediation begins.

Integrated with Sophos Central
Cloud-based dashboard to manage all endpoints, policies, and reports.
Supports remote management and real-time visibility.

Synchronized Security
Works with Sophos Firewall and other products to share threat intelligence instantly.
Automatically identifies and contains compromised devices.

Compliance & Audit-Readiness
Helps meet compliance requirements for data protection (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001).
Built-in reporting tools make audits easier.

Why Your Current Antivirus May Not Be Enough:
Most legacy AV tools only use signature-based detection.
Cannot stop modern, fileless, or living-off-the-land attacks.
Lack visibility, forensic data, and real-time threat prevention.
