But it takes the concept of Endpoint Detection &amp; Response and extends it across multiple security layers. It brings together real-time network data and automated decision-making to provide advanced threat responses that stop attacks before they become a breach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77fe1e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77fe1e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How is Sophos XDR different from other solutions?\u00a0<\/h3><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/sophos\/central\/intercept-x-advanced-with-xdr.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(formerly Intercept X Advanced with EDR) integrates email, cloud, mobile, and endpoint data across your network, pulling data from multiple sources across security layers and products to provide broad, high-level security determinations orchestrated by deep learning AI.
