Intelligent extended detection and Response

Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR integrates intelligent extended detection and response (XDR) with the industrys top-rated malware detection, top-rated exploit protection, and other unmatched endpoint protection features.

XDR Starts with the Strongest Protection

To stop breaches before they start, prevention is crucial. Intercept X consolidates unmatched protection and extended detection and response into a single solution. This means that most threats are stopped before they can ever cause damage, and Intercept X Advanced with XDR provides additional cybersecurity assurance with the ability to detect, investigate, and respond to potential security threats.

The inclusion of XDR into a consistently top-rated endpoint protection suite enables Intercept X to significantly lighten the XDR workload. The more threats that are prevented, the less noise that is created for security teams to investigate. This means teams can optimize key resources enabling them to focus on the business of IT rather than chasing false positives and an overwhelming volume of alerts.

Add Expertise, Not Headcount

Intercept X Advanced with XDR replicates the tasks normally performed by skilled analysts, so organizations can add expertise without having to add staff. Unlike other XDR solutions which rely on highly skilled human analysts to ask questions and interpret data, Intercept X Advanced with XDR is powered by machine learning and enhanced with curated SophosLabs threat intelligence.

Guided Incident Response

Intercept X Advanced with XDR allows administrators to answer the tough questions about security incidents by providing visibility into the scope of an attack, how it started, what was impacted, and how to respond. Security teams of all skill levels can quickly understand their security posture thanks to guided investigations which offer suggested next steps, clear visual attack representations, and built-in expertise.

Security expertise

Intercept X Advanced with XDR puts security expertise into the hands of IT by automatically detecting and prioritizing potential threats. Using machine learning, suspicious events are identified and elevated as the most important and in need of immediate attention. Analysts can quickly see where to focus their attention and understand which machines may be impacted

Malware expertise

Most organization rely on malware experts that specialize in reverse engineering to analyze suspicious files. Not only is this approach time consuming and difficult to achieve, but it assumes a level of cybersecurity sophistication which most organizations dont possess. Intercept X Advanced with XDR offers a better approach by leveraging Deep Learning Malware Analysis which automatically analyzes malware in extreme detail, breaking down file attributes and code and comparing them to millions of other files. Analysts can easily see which attributes and code segments are similar to known-good and known-bad files so they can determine if a file should be blocked or allowed.

Threat intelligence expertise

When Intercept X Advanced with XDR elevates a potentially suspicious file, IT administrators can gather more information by accessing on-demand threat intelligence curated by SophosLabs which receives and processes approximately 400,000 previously unseen malware samples each day. This, and other threat intelligence is collected, aggregated, and summarized for easy analysis. This means that teams that do not have dedicated threat intelligence analysts, or access to expensive and hard to understand threat feeds, can benefit from one of the top cybersecurity research and data science teams in the world.
