Integrated with Sophos MDR
Sophos Email uniquely provides Sophos’ MDR with the controls needed to execute a decisive response to an attack in real-time. Whether manually clawing back malicious messages, blocking malicious senders/domains/IPs, or modifying policies and other configurations, Sophos Email enables Sophos MDR to ensure superior cybersecurity outcomes.
Integrated with Sophos XDR
Sophos’ open, AI-native XDR platform enables you to detect, investigate, and respond to multi-stage threats across all key attack vectors in the shortest time. Sophos XDR ingests email security events from Sophos Email, including account compromise attempts, data control violations, post-delivery protection events, and more. This information is enriched with threat intelligence from Sophos X-Ops and grouped with related detections across Sophos and third-party solutions to highlight an attack.
Your security analysts can use Sophos XDR to take email-related actions such as manually clawing back malicious emails, blocking senders/domains/IPs, tweaking policies, and modifying other configurations as required.
Integrated with Sophos Endpoint
This integration enables real-time sharing of threat data between platforms, allowing security teams to isolate affected devices, quarantine suspicious emails, and adjust policies quickly. With coordinated detection and response, organizations gain stronger protection across two critical attack surfaces—all managed through a unified
security ecosystem.
