The only truly comprehensive exploit prevention
Preventing the exploitation of security vulnerabilities.
Sophos Exploit Protection is a unique technology in Intercept X that prevents previously unknown or unpatched vulnerabilities in applications or operating system components from being exploited. With Intercept X, every application is monitored in the background and every action is checked to see if an exploit technique is being attempted.
If such a technique is detected, Exploit Prevention prevents a vulnerability from being exploited and restores the system to a secure state.
Root Cause Analysis
Find out the cause of the attack.
Imagine that, despite all the protective measures, malware has made it into your network. How could this happen? Thanks to the root cause analysis in Intercept X, this mystery can be uncovered with an impressive 360-degree analysis. The Root Cause Analysis Tool can tell you in great detail how the malware got into your network, which devices were infected and what steps you should take now.
With root cause analysis, you'll never be in the dark again if your network has been infected by an unknown malware.
Sophos Clean
Restores the system to its original state after an attack.
With Intercept X, thanks to technologies like CryptoGuard, you are protected against signatureless malware, such as ransomware, but after an attempted attack, your system still needs to be cleaned of all remnants. Since there is no cleaning routine for unknown malware, the entire processes of the executed malware must be forensically examined. This task is performed by Sophos Clean.
Sophos Clean performs a complete cleaning of the system after an attack has been stopped. It not only removes the malware itself, but replaces infected Windows resources with more secure original versions and ultimately restores the system to its original state, as it was before the infection.

Sophos Managed Detection and Response – Artificial intelligence mixed with human expertise
With “Sophos Central MDR” you can achieve the highest level of security Sophos can currently offer for the protection of your endpoints (macOS 10.15+, Windows 8.1+). In this bundle, you get all the features of Intercept X Advanced with XDR and the new, enhanced MDR service.
Active threat response by a team of experts – 24/7
With the MDR service, Sophos provides a highly available “Service Operation Center” (SOC). It is the perfect complement for all IT administrators where there are no free resources to go threat hunting themselves with XDR's tools. It takes highly skilled and specialized personnel to use XDR to proactively scan the network for potential threats and take the correct steps when an attack occurs. With Sophos Central MDR for Server, you no longer need to look for trained personnel yourself. Sophos provides a team of experts who work 24/7 to combat threats.
Features of MDR
24/7 circumstantial threat hunting
If something has been detected on your system that could not be fixed automatically and requires human expertise, the MDR team is there for you on a 24/7 basis. An expert then takes a close look at the critical note and uses his experience to decide what needs to be done.
Attack detection
The MDR team pays special attention to attacks executed through legitimate processes, such as PowerShell. Such attacks are often successful because they are difficult for monitoring tools to detect. The MDR team uses proprietary analytics to monitor these processes to ensure they are not being misused for malicious purposes.
Security Health Check
The Security Health Check ensures that your Sophos Central products can always operate at maximum performance. To do this, the MDR team looks at your network requirements and makes recommendations for configuration changes.
Activity Reports
You will learn the current state of your systems, what intelligence was gathered during the reporting period, and what threats were averted. A histogram of these reports is then created over the period where you use the MDR service. With the help of this data, Sophos creates so-called "scorecards", with which one can compare oneself to previous periods.
Onboarding process with maximum control and transparency
Regardless of whether you choose the normal MDR or MDR Complete variant, you retain control over how autonomously the MDR team should operate. This is regulated right at the beginning in the so-called onboarding process. When you purchase the Sophos MDR service, you can choose from three options that determine what response you expect from the MDR team:
