Sophos Covers Endpoint Security With Intercept X

E-mail Print PDF

Sophos announces Intercept X-- a next-generation endpoint security product the company claims stop zero-day malware, unknown exploit variants and stealth attacks while offering "advanced" anti-ransomware features.

SophosIntercept X works alongside existing endpoint security software from any vendor, and boosts protection by detecting and stopping malicious code before it executes. As Sophos puts it, the software combines 4 critical security components, namely Signatureless Threat and Exploit Detection (defends against zero-day, unknown and memory resident attacks and threat variants), CryptoGuard (identifies and intercepts malicious encryption activity), Root Cause Analytics (shows where attacks came in, what was affected, where it may have stopped and recommended actions) and Sophos Clean (hunts for and removes all spyware and lingering malware).

The software was previously available in beta form, in a program deployed in over 2000 endpoints spanning 70 customer networks. The result, Sophos says, stopped over 18 new ransomware attacks, and so far client networks have seen zero ransomware infections.

Intercept X is available to order today, and Sophos offers a free trial through its website.
