Sophos Central Intercept X Advanced with EDR

Intercept X Advanced with EDR gives you the complete endpoint protection package that Sophos has to offer. Included are all the features of classic endpoint protection with Intercept X for protection against ransomware and exploits. But as the product's name suggests, you also buy the "EDR" feature here.

EDR means "Endpoint Detection and Response" and is interesting for all those who want to get to the bottom of the cause of an attack in more detail or who need to do so in certain companies. EDR is therefore used when, for example, malware has been blocked or an exploit has been prevented. It could be that a prevented attack is only a sign of a much larger attack. In our opinion, EDR can be seen as an extension of the Root Cause Analysis already contained in Intercept X, simply with many more possibilities.

Extensive expertise at a relatively low price

Intercept X Advanced with EDR takes over the tasks normally performed by experienced analysts. Intercept X Advanced with EDR does not rely on people asking questions and interpreting data like other EDR solutions. Sophos's product is based on machine learning and is complemented by the intelligence of SophosLabs.

Artificial security competence at its best

Intercept X Advanced with EDR automatically detects and prioritizes potential threats and forwards knowledge to the IT department. Machine Learning is used to identify suspicious events and sort them by importance. Analysts can quickly identify what to focus their attention on and understand which computers may be affected.

Malware expertise

Most organizations rely on malware experts who specialize in reverse engineering to analyze suspicious files. This approach is not only time-consuming, but also requires a high level of cyber security that most companies do not meet. Intercept X Advanced with EDR offers a better approach. Using deep learning malware analysis, malware is automatically and extremely detailed analyzed, file attributes and code are broken down, and compared with millions of other files. Analysts can then easily identify which attributes and code segments are similar to good or bad files. This makes it very efficient to determine whether a file should be blocked or allowed.
