Sophos Endpoint is an endpoint protection platform that combines prevention-first security with endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities. The solution uses deep learning AI models to protect against known and novel attacks, blocking threats before they impact endpoints and servers. Core protection includes CryptoGuard anti-ransomware technology that monitors file contents for malicious encryption and automatically reverts encrypted files, with Master Boot Record (MBR) protection against advanced ransomware. The platform employs behavioral analysis, anti-exploitation, web controls, application controls, and peripheral controls to reduce attack surface and block common attack vectors. EDR functionality enables threat hunting, investigation, and response to suspicious activity and evasive threats. Sophos Endpoint has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms for 16 consecutive reports and received AAA ratings in SE Labs endpoint protection tests. The solution is designed for easy deployment with strong protection enabled by default, helping resource-stretched IT teams reduce incidents to investigate. It provides protection against advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, and data loss through a comprehensive approach that doesn't rely on any single detection technique.
