Sophisticated technologies that block the broadest range of attacks

Prevention-first approach
Sophos Endpoint takes a comprehensive, prevention-first approach to security, blocking threats without relying on any single technique. Web, application, and peripheral controls reduce your attack surface and block common attack vectors. AI, behavioral analysis, anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and other advanced technologies stop threats fast before they escalate, so resource-stretched IT teams have fewer incidents to investigate and resolve.
Adaptive defenses
Industry-first dynamic defenses automate protection that adapts in response to active adversaries and hands-on-keyboard attacks.
Adaptive attack protection
Adaptive attack protection dynamically enables heightened defenses on an endpoint when a hands-on-keyboard attack is detected. This prevents a cybercriminal from taking further actions by minimizing the attack surface and disrupting and containing the attack, buying valuable time to respond.
Critical attack warning
A critical attack warning alerts you if adversarial activity is detected across multiple endpoints or servers. It notifies all administrators in the Sophos Central unified security management platform of the situation and provides attack details. You can respond using Sophos XDR, seek assistance from your partner, or ask the Sophos Incident Response team for help.
Easy to set up and manage
Sophos Central is a cloud-based platform for managing Sophos Endpoint and all your other Sophos products. 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.
Account health check
Poorly configured policy settings, exclusions, and other factors can compromise your security posture. The account health check feature identifies security posture drift and high-risk misconfigurations, enabling administrators to remediate issues with one click.
Protect all of your endpoints
Get complete protection across all of your desktops, laptops, servers, tablets, and mobile devices. Sophos Endpoint works across all major operating systems.
Device encryption
With many devices lost or stolen daily, full disk encryption is a crucial first line of defense. Sophos device encryption is integrated with Sophos Endpoint for managing BitLocker (Windows) and FileVault (macOS). Recovery keys are securely escrowed, providing peace of mind. Administrators can view their devices' encryption status and demonstrate compliance. End users can access self-service options to recover their devices, removing a burden from IT.
Detection and response
Endpoint detection and response (EDR)
Powerful EDR functionality enables you to hunt for, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity across your endpoints and servers.
Sophos EDR
Sophos integrates powerful EDR with the robust prevention-first approach of Sophos Endpoint. Blocking more threats upfront means there is less to investigate later. Detections are prioritized with AI-driven analysis, allowing you to see where to focus your valuable time. Remotely access devices to further investigate, install and uninstall software, or remediate any issues. Compared to other EDR tools, Sophos EDR adds expertise, not headcount, by replicating the skills of hard-to-find analysts.
Extended detection and response (XDR)
XDR functionality enables you to hunt for, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity across Sophos and third-party security controls.
Sophos XDR
Sophos XDR is the industry's only security operations platform that brings together native endpoint, server, firewall, email, cloud security, and third-party security controls. Threat hunt across the Sophos Data Lake or pivot to a device to learn real-time state and get up to 90 days of historical data. Get a holistic view of your organization's environment enriched with Sophos X-Ops threat intelligence for threat detection, investigation, and response designed for dedicated security operations center (SOC) teams and IT admins.
Managed detection and response (MDR)
Customers without the resources to manage 24/7 threat detection and response in-house can use Sophos' MDR service, delivered by an elite team of experienced threat hunters and incident responders.
Sophos MDR
Sophos MDR is a fully managed threat hunting, detection, and incident response service that integrates with Sophos and third-party security controls, providing a dedicated 24/7 security team to detect and neutralize the most sophisticated and complex threats.
Additional protection layers
