YOUR CHALLENGES
Safeguarding your digital assets has never been more critical
With Sophos, you can rest assured that your digital environment is fortified against the most sophisticated cyber threats, providing peace of mind and enabling you to focus on what matters most — driving your business forward.
Evolving threats
Modern threats, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and changing adversarial behavior are increasingly sophisticated and can evade traditional endpoint defenses.
Complexity is the enemy of security
Multiple management consoles are resource-intensive, distracting, and detecting a drift in security posture is difficult.
Reactive responses
IT teams are on the back foot, responding to threats only after they’ve caused the damage rather than stopping them earlier in the attack chain.
AI-powered, prevention-first approach
Sophos Endpoint takes a comprehensive, prevention-first approach to security, blocking threats without relying on any single technique. Multiple deep learning AI models secure against known and never-before-seen attacks. Web, application and peripheral controls reduce your threat surface and block common attack vectors. Behavioral analysis, anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and other advanced technologies stop threats fast before they escalate, so resource-stretched IT teams have fewer incidents to investigate and resolve.
Sophisticated technologies block the broadest range of attacks.
Easy to deploy and identify drifts in security posture, with strong protection enabled by default.
Top-rated protection with industry-leading results in third-party testing.

Airtight ransomware protection
CryptoGuard technology in Sophos Endpoint monitors file contents for malicious encryption, blocking offending processes on the victim's computer and on compromised network-connected devices. Our universal approach protects your data from new and novel file encryption attacks and automatically reverts any encrypted files to their original state. CryptoGuard's Master Boot Record (MBR) protection safeguards your hard drives from advanced ransomware designed to render computers unbootable.
Robust defense against remote ransomware
According to Microsoft's 2024 Digital Defense Report, remote encryption — where an attacker uses an unmanaged device to encrypt files in the same network — is used in 70% of successful ransomware attacks. Most endpoint security solutions, however, are unable to protect you against this increasingly prevalent attack technique.
Sophos Endpoint is the industry’s most robust zero-touch endpoint defense against remote ransomware, thanks to our universal proprietary CryptoGuard technology.

Demo: Adaptive Attack Protection with Sophos Endpoint 2:19
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.
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.
Easy to set up and manage
Sophos Central is a cloud-based platform for managing Sophos Endpoint and all your other Sophos products. Our recommended protection technologies are enabled by default, so you immediately have the strongest protection settings with no tuning required. Granular control is also available.
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.
Protect all your endpoints
Get complete protection across all your desktops, laptops, servers, tablets, and mobile devices. Sophos Endpoint works across all major operating systems.
Device encryption
With many devices lost or stolen daily, full disk encryption is a crucial first line of defense. Sophos device encryption manages the policies of BitLocker and FileVault, and securely escrows recovery keys to provide peace of mind.
Intercept X Endpoint Features
The industry's most sophisticated
endpoint security solution
Sophos delivers powerful attack surface reduction, threat prevention, and detection and response capabilities while maintaining an agent footprint lighter than many common business applications. Many competitor solutions lack the same depth and breadth, prioritizing agent size over strength of protection.
Mitigate the risk of threats
Stopping attacks early is less resource-intensive than monitoring and remediating them later in the attack chain. Intercepting network traffic on the endpoint provides powerful protection benefits for users both on and off the company network. Solutions that lack this full range of threat surface reduction capabilities have less opportunity to block attacks before they penetrate your systems.
Web Protection
Web Protection intercepts outbound browser connections and blocks traffic destined for malicious or suspicious websites. It stops threats at the delivery stage by preventing users from being diverted to malware delivery or phishing websites.
Web Control
Web Control uses the same traffic interception technology, enabling you to block access to undesirable or inappropriate content, such as adult and gambling websites.
Application Control
Application Control enables you to block applications that may be vulnerable, unsuitable for your environment, or that could be used for nefarious purposes. Sophos provides pre-defined categories to block or monitor apps, removing the burden of blocking individual applications by hash.
Peripheral (Device) Control
Peripheral (Device) Control enables you to monitor and block access to removable media, Bluetooth, and mobile devices to prevent certain hardware from connecting to your network.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) monitors and restricts the transfer of files containing sensitive data. For example, prevent employees from sending confidential files home using web-based email.
Download Reputation
Download Reputation analyzes files as they’re downloaded and uses SophosLabs global threat intelligence to provide a verdict based on prevalence, age, and source, prompting users to block files with low or unknown reputation.
Automatically stop threats
Stopping more threats early in the attack chain enables you to focus on investigating fewer incidents. Some detection and response solutions focus on collecting telemetry for investigation at the expense of providing comprehensive prevention, to maintain a reduced agent footprint. Sophos delivers broader threat prevention capabilities, with efficacy validated through consistent top scores in independent tests.
Deep learning (AI-powered) malware prevention
Deep learning (AI-powered) malware prevention analyzes binaries to make decisions based on file attributes and predictive reasoning. Deep learning is an advanced form of machine learning that detects and blocks malware, including new and previously unseen threats.
Anti-Exploitation
Anti-Exploitation guards process integrity by hardening application memory and applying runtime code execution guardrails. Over 60 anti-exploitation techniques in Sophos Endpoint are enabled by default, require no training nor tuning, and extend far beyond the protections provided by the native Windows OS or most other endpoint security solutions.
Some vendors including Carbon Black, SentinelOne and Microsoft lack extensive exploit mitigations or require significant manual tuning.
Behavior Analysis
Behavior Analysis monitors process, file, and registry events over time to detect and stop malicious behaviors and processes. It also performs memory scanning, inspects running processes to detect malicious code only revealed during process execution, and detects attackers implanting malicious code in the memory of a running process to evade detection.
Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI)
Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) determines whether scripts (e.g., PowerShell or Office macros) are safe, including if they are obfuscated or generated at runtime, blocking fileless attacks where malware is loaded directly from memory. Sophos also has a proprietary mitigation against malware that attempts to evade AMSI detection.
Live Protection
Live Protection extends Sophos’ comprehensive on-device protection with real-time lookups to SophosLabs' latest global threat intelligence for additional file context, decision verification, false positive suppression, and file reputation. Our Tier 1 threat research provides additional live intelligence from Sophos’ expansive product portfolio and global customer base.
Some vendors including Carbon Black, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne rely solely on pre-trained machine learning models.
Malicious Traffic Detection
Malicious Traffic Detection detects a device attempting to communicate with a command and control (C2) server by intercepting traffic from non-browser processes and analyzing whether it is destined for a malicious address.
Application Lockdown
Application Lockdown prevents browser and application misuse by blocking actions not commonly associated with those processes. For example, a web browser or Office application attempting to launch PowerShell.
