The Industry’s Most Sophisticated Endpoint Security Solution

Sophos Intercept X Endpoint delivers unparalleled protection, stopping advanced attacks before they impact your systems. Powerful EDR and XDR tools let your organization hunt for, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity and indicators of attack.

Prevention-First Approach

Sophos Endpoint takes a comprehensive 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, behavioural analysis, anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and other state-of-the-art technologies stop threats fast before they escalate. This means resource-stretched IT teams have fewer incidents to investigate and resolve.

Adaptive Defences

Industry-first dynamic defences automate protection that adapts in response to active adversaries and hands-on-keyboard attacks.

How does Sophos compare…

CrowdStrike

Sophos provides on-device protection and automated response that eliminates threats in real-time. CrowdStrike gathers and analyses data in the cloud, slowing response time.

Proactive Protection – Sophos uses web, application, and peripheral controls to reduce your attack surface and block common attack vectors. We utilize anti-ransomware, anti-exploitation, and other technologies to stop threats fast before they escalate. CrowdStrike lacks web protection and application control capabilities, leaving security gaps for attackers to exploit.

Timing is Everything – Sophos uses real-time, on-device protection to block and roll-back ransomware, prevent exploits, limit lateral movement, apply dynamic defences against hands-on-keyboard attackers, and automatically isolate compromised endpoints. CrowdStrike relies heavily on collecting data in the cloud to detect threats. This introduces a delay that could make a difference whether you have the timely containment of a breach, or need to report a breach.

Future-proof and Consolidate – To add endpoint, network, message, or cloud security functionality with Sophos, all you have to do is activate a new component. Then, you can manage threat detection and response on your own with Sophos XDR or add reinforcements with our 24/7 MDR service, including integrations with third-party security controls. CrowdStrike doesn’t offer the breadth of services to deliver this integrated experience.

Bitdefender

Adversaries can execute sophisticated attacks at scale, targeting your users, network and cloud infrastructure, endpoints, and servers. It’s not surprising that IT security teams are constantly searching for security solutions that provide better protection and visibility across their estate. Sophos protects your organization with a prevention-first approach and provides a holistic view of your organization’s environment with native and third-party security integrations, enabling you to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in your environment.

A Unified Security Ecosystem – Consolidate your defences by integrating your endpoint, server, network, mobile, email, and cloud security, as well as third-party security controls in the Sophos Adaptive Cybersecurity Ecosystem. Sophos Central is a single management console built for organizations of all sizes and capabilities. You can manage your security on your own, or Sophos MDR can detect, investigate, and respond to threats for you.

Context-Sensitive Defences – When Sophos detects a hands-on-keyboard attack, we automatically activate extra defences on the endpoint with a “shields up” approach. Sophos Adaptive Attack Protection blocks suspicious activities like downloads of remote admin tools, disrupting the attack and giving your team valuable time to respond.

You Can’t Detect What You Can’t See – Sophos has the industry’s only security operations platform that brings together native endpoint, server, firewall, email, and cloud security, as well as third-party security controls. Threat hunt across the Sophos data lake or pivot to a device for real-time state and 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 SOC teams and IT admins. Bitdefender XDR has fewer integrations, reducing visibility and potentially increasing the likelihood a threat will be missed.

Microsoft

Organizations that implement Microsoft Defender often prioritize cost. However, Microsoft Defender’s extensive manual configuration, testing, and tuning can increase its total cost of ownership. Sophos provides superior cyber protection with a best-practice configuration out of the box, centralized management, and more.

Don’t be exploited – Straight out of the box, Sophos builds on top of the basic protection offered in Microsoft Windows with no fewer than 60 proprietary, preconfigured, and tuned exploit mitigations. With Microsoft, the work required to enable and tune other mitigations is manual, increasing the risk of misconfigurations or, worse, the protection not being used.

Intuitive Management – Sophos Central is a cloud-based management console that allows you to manage all of your Sophos products in one place and hunt for and investigate threats. The Account Health Check within Sophos Central helps you identify and address security issues. With Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, management is split across multiple console screens. This requires substantial time, expertise, and attention to detail to manage which can lead to an increased risk of misconfiguration and disruption.

MDR and IR for Everyone – Sophos supports customers at all levels of sophistication. If you are looking for an endpoint protection solution, an XDR product, a 24/7 MDR service, or an incident response service, we can help you out.
