Automatically stop threats

Stopping more threats early in the attack chain enables you to focus on investigating fewer incidents. Some detection and response solutions focus on collecting telemetry for investigation at the expense of providing comprehensive prevention, to maintain a reduced agent footprint. Sophos delivers broader threat prevention capabilities, with efficacy validated through consistent top scores in independent tests.
 

Deep learning (AI-powered) malware prevention

Deep learning (AI-powered) malware prevention analyzes binaries to make decisions based on file attributes and predictive reasoning. Deep learning is an advanced form of machine learning that detects and blocks malware, including new and previously unseen threats.
 

Anti-Exploitation

Anti-Exploitation guards process integrity by hardening application memory and applying runtime code execution guardrails. Over 60 anti-exploitation techniques in Sophos Endpoint are enabled by default, require no training nor tuning, and extend far beyond the protections provided by the native Windows OS or most other endpoint security solutions.
 

Behavior Analysis

Behavior Analysis monitors process, file, and registry events over time to detect and stop malicious behaviors and processes. It also performs memory scanning, inspects running processes to detect malicious code only revealed during process execution, and detects attackers implanting malicious code in the memory of a running process to evade detection.
 

Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI)

Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) determines whether scripts (e.g., PowerShell or Office macros) are safe, including if they are obfuscated or generated at runtime, blocking fileless attacks where malware is loaded directly from memory. Sophos also has a proprietary mitigation against malware that attempts to evade AMSI detection.
 

Live Protection

Live Protection extends Sophos’ comprehensive on-device protection with real-time lookups to SophosLabs' latest global threat intelligence for additional file context, decision verification, false positive suppression, and file reputation. Our Tier 1 threat research provides additional live intelligence from Sophos’ expansive product portfolio and global customer base.

​

Malicious Traffic Detection

Malicious Traffic Detection detects a device attempting to communicate with a command and control (C2) server by intercepting traffic from non-browser processes and analyzing whether it is destined for a malicious address.
 

Application Lockdown

Application Lockdown prevents browser and application misuse by blocking actions not commonly associated with those processes. For example, a web browser or Office application attempting to launch PowerShell.
