Sophos Central Intercept X Essentials for servers – Powerful protection with a lower price tag!

Intercept X Essentials for Servers is the new entry-level server protection for small businesses at an affordable price. It offers the same protections as Intercept X Advanced for servers with deep-learning AI, anti-ransomware and anti-exploit capabilities, but without all the control and management features, which you probably won’t miss if your organization is small or perceives low risk.

The following features are not included in Intercept X Essentials for Servers

  • Multiple policies – customers must use the base policy.
  • Peripheral Control – Customers cannot set users to connect only certain devices.
  • Controlled updates – Customers cannot delay updates or decide when to deploy them.
  • Web Control – Customers cannot block access to inappropriate websites.
  • Application Control – Customers cannot control what types of applications are allowed to be installed and run.
  • Threat Cases – Customers do not have access to threat cases that show what happened during an incident.
  • File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) – Customers cannot monitor critical files on their servers for tampering attempts.
  • Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) – Customers cannot see their entire cloud environment, such as serverless functions and databases.
  • Server Lockdown – Customers cannot lock down their servers to a base configuration.

If you need multiple configurable policies or a higher level of manageability with Peripheral Control, Web Control, Application Control, etc., consider purchasing Intercept X Advanced for Server instead.
