CryptoGuard universal protection
Remote ransomware attacks use a compromised machine to encrypt protected devices. CryptoGuard stops both local and remote encryption, automatically rolling back affected files to their unencrypted state.
Strengthen your ransomware defenses
Security services and tools that defend against even the most advanced and novel ransomware attacks, deployed across every layer of the environment.
Ransomware remains a major threat to all organizations
Stopping advanced ransomware attacks requires adaptive defense technologies across the environment combined with 24/7 expert-led detection and response.
For the strongest ransomware defense, deploy Sophos Endpoint on all devices and use Sophos MDR or Sophos XDR to detect and respond to advanced, human-led attacks. Further extend protection with Sophos Email, Sophos Firewall, and Sophos NDR.
- Sophos Endpoint — Foundation-layer protection that stops ransomware before it executes
- Sophos MDR — 24/7 expert-led monitoring, investigation, and response
- Sophos XDR — Cross-product detection and response for in-house security teams
- Sophos NDR — Network traffic monitoring for unmanaged device threats
- Sophos Firewall — Hardened network perimeter with active threat response
- Sophos Email — Phishing and email-borne ransomware defense
Sophos Endpoint: the foundation of ransomware defense
Top-rated in independent tests including SE Labs and MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, Sophos Endpoint includes multiple technologies that automatically stop ransomware attacks before they impact business operations.
Adaptive attack protection
Ransomware actors are getting faster, leaving defenders less time to respond. Adaptive Attack Protection dynamically enables heightened defenses when a human adversary is detected, containing the attack and providing time to respond.
60+ exploit mitigations
Exploited vulnerabilities were the #1 root cause of ransomware attacks in the last year. Over 60 exploit mitigations stop the techniques adversaries use to exploit unpatched vulnerabilities, deployed automatically out of the box.
Sophos MDR: the best defense against advanced ransomware attacks
Active adversaries work to move unnoticed, launching attacks during nights and weekends and using legitimate IT tools to avoid triggering detections. Sophos MDR provides 24/7 monitoring and expert threat response.
88% of ransomware attacks start outside business hours
Sophos MDR monitors environments around the clock, with 500+ threat and malware specialists across seven global security operations centers.
63% of organizations lack the people or skills to respond in time
Sophos MDR analysts investigate and respond to suspicious signals and alerts, taking action to stop confirmed threats. Proactive, expert-led threat hunts detect especially stealthy or novel attacks.
Ransomware actors constantly try new approaches
Sophos MDR detects and stops attacks across the entire environment using security data and telemetry from existing Sophos and non-Sophos cybersecurity and IT solutions.
Sophos XDR: see and stop ransomware attacks across your environment
Designed and used by Sophos threat analysts, the open AI-native XDR platform enables in-house teams to detect, investigate, and respond to ransomware and other threats. It integrates with existing security tools for greater return on investment.
Full visibility across attack surfaces
Gain insights into evasive threats across all key attack surfaces, including endpoints, network, email, and cloud.
GenAI-powered investigations
Optimize investigations with generative AI-powered tools and workflows that accelerate threat analysis and decision-making.Accelerated threat response
Rapidly contain threats with automated response capabilities that reduce mean time to respond across the environment.
Sophos NDR: stop ransomware actors exploiting unmanaged devices
Unmanaged devices are a challenge for every organization and a target for ransomware actors. 92% of remote ransomware attacks now start on unmanaged devices.
Sophos Network Detection and Response (NDR) continuously monitors network traffic to detect a wide range of security risks, including rogue devices, unprotected devices, insider threats, zero-day attacks, and threats involving IoT and OT devices.
NDR enables identification and remediation of unmanaged devices before they can be compromised by adversaries. Sophos NDR is available to any organization running Sophos MDR or Sophos XDR.
Sophos Firewall: best practices built in to protect your network from ransomware
Network security devices are constantly targeted for vulnerability exploitation. Sophos Firewall is hardened by design with AI-powered threat identification and automated cross-product response.
- Hardened appliance — Built to resist exploitation, with over-the-air patching that requires no downtime
- AI-powered threat identification — Detect threats before they reach the internal network
- Active Threat Response — Cross-product automated response that stops active attacks
- Synchronized Security — Real-time threat intelligence shared between firewall and endpoint
Sophos Email: secure inboxes from ransomware
More than 90% of successful cyberattacks start with a phishing email. Sophos Email blocks more than 13.9 million malicious emails each week.
AI-powered detection
Machine learning, natural language processing, and sender authentication technologies (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) defend inboxes from email-based ransomware and business email compromise.
MDR and XDR integration
Sophos Email integrates with both Sophos MDR and Sophos XDR at no additional cost, delivering combined email protection, detection, and response capabilities. Over 800K detections are delivered to Sophos MDR monthly.
Stop an active ransomware attack
If an organization is experiencing an active threat, the Sophos incident response team is available around the clock to assist with containment and remediation.
Sophos Emergency Incident Response
A 24/7 elite team of remote incident responders, threat analysts, and threat hunters provides rapid assistance, identifying and neutralizing active ransomware attacks. Most customers are fully triaged within 48 hours.
