About Sophos Endpoint
Sophos Endpoint (built on Intercept X technology) is an AI-powered endpoint protection platform that combines deep-learning malware detection, ransomware rollback, and exploit mitigation in a single lightweight agent, with optional EDR and XDR tiers for threat hunting and cross-vector investigation. Security teams wanting prevention-first endpoint protection with built-in ransomware rollback, purchased through a Sophos partner rather than a self-serve online checkout.
- 60+ proprietary exploit mitigations enabled by default to block attack techniques rather than specific exploit variants
- Deep learning models that identify known and never-seen-before malware before execution
- CryptoGuard ransomware protection that monitors file contents for malicious encryption, blocks the offending process, and automatically rolls back affected files
- Adaptive Attack Protection that automatically increases defenses across endpoints when an active, coordinated attack is detected
- Optional Sophos EDR (threat hunting) and Sophos XDR (cross-vector investigation with AI-assisted tools) built on the same agent
- Web Control, Application Control, Peripheral Control, and Data Loss Prevention for attack-surface reduction
- Sophos Fusion telemetry integration enabling Synchronized Security across the wider Sophos product stack

Confirm it runs on the platforms you need (Web, Windows, macOS, Linux) before switching.
