What is Sophos Intercept X?
Intercept X is Sophos's flagship endpoint protection. It combines deep learning malware detection, anti-exploit techniques and behavioural anti-ransomware, and it is managed from the cloud in Sophos Central, which Sophos is evolving into Sophos Fusion.
Key capabilities
- CryptoGuard anti-ransomware: detects malicious encryption and rolls files back
- Exploit prevention that blocks the techniques attackers use, not just known files
- Deep learning AI to catch never-seen-before malware
- Adaptive attack protection that tightens defences when an active attack is detected
- Root cause analysis to show how a threat got in
- Synchronized Security with Sophos Firewall to isolate infected devices
Intercept X editions and add-ons
- Intercept X Advanced: core endpoint protection
- Intercept X Advanced for Server: server and cloud workload protection
