Endpoint protection with Sophos
Definition of Endpoints for protection
End protection features
Ransomware protection
Sophos Endpoint’s CryptoGuard technology stops harmful encryption as it happens and automatically restores affected files, reducing business disruption. It uses advanced file content analysis to protect your data from ransomware attacks, whether they come from local or remote sources, including new types.
Sophos Endpoint offers the strongest hands-off protection against remote ransomware.
Anti-exploitation
Right from the start, Sophos Endpoint enhances the basic security in Microsoft Windows with over 60 unique and ready-to-use exploit defenses. It guards against fileless attacks and new, unknown threats by blocking the methods attackers use at every stage of an attack.
Adaptive defenses
One of the special defense mechanisms of Sophos Endpoint Protection is the adaptive defense system. This system automate protection that adapts in response to active adversaries and hands-on-keyboard attacks.
Adaptive attack protection
Adaptive attack protection automatically strengthens security on a device when it detects a direct attack. This stops the attacker from proceeding by reducing vulnerable areas and containing the threat, giving you more time to respond.
Warning Critical attack
A critical attack warning notifies you if suspicious activity is found on multiple devices or servers. It alerts all administrators in Sophos Central, giving you information about the attack. You can respond with Sophos XDR, get help from your partner, or contact the Sophos Incident Response team.
Protection layers endpoint protection
Endpoint protection solutions of Sophos are managed one central application in the cloud “Sophos Central”.
Sophos Central is a cloud-based platform for managing all Sophos products in one central place. 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.
Sophos Endpoint is the most robust zero-touch endpoint defense against remote ransomware.
Some vendors including Carbon Black, CrowdStrike and SentinelOne rely solely on pre-trained machine learning models.
Some vendors provide only a limited set of commands through their consoles.
Some vendors including CrowdStrike and Microsoft do not support the use of third-party endpoint technology.
