Server Workload Protection Features

Cloud Native Security

Advanced protection for cloud hosts and containers, optimized for DevSecOps workflows.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

Get complete visibility of suspicious activity across your entire IT environment.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Elite team of MDR threat hunters and response experts who take targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats.

Deep Learning Technology

Artificial intelligence built into Intercept X for Server detects both known and unknown malware without relying on signatures.

Exploit Prevention

Deny attackers by blocking the exploits and techniques used to distribute malware, steal credentials, and escape detection.

Anti-Ransomware

Ransomware file protection, automatic file recovery, and behavioral analysis stops ransomware and boot record attacks.

Server Lockdown

Prevent unauthorized programs running on your servers and receive notification if attempts are made to tamper with critical files.

Linux Detection

Identify sophisticated attacks as they happen without requiring a kernel module, orchestration, baselining, or system scans.

Container Security

Behavioral and exploit runtime detections identify threats including container escapes, kernel exploits, and privilege escalation.

Minimize Time to Detect and Respond

Sophos Cloud Workload Protection provides complete visibility into your host and container workloads, identifying malware, exploits, and anomalous behavior before they get a foothold.

Extended detection and response (XDR) provides complete visibility of hosts, containers, endpoints, the network, and even cloud provider native services
Cloud-native behavioral and exploit runtime detections identify threats including container escapes, kernel exploits, and privilege escalation attempts
Streamlined threat investigation workflows prioritize high-risk incident detections and consolidate connected events to increase efficiency
Integrated Live Response establishes a secure command line terminal to hosts for remediation

Integrate with Security, IT, and DevOps

Flexible, lightweight server host and container protection is optimized for performance. Available as an agent or via API for Linux to integrate with your security operations, IT, and DevOps processes.

Single Host Agent

Secure the host and container with an agent managed from the Sophos Central management console. Easily investigate and respond to behavioral, exploit, and malware threats in one place while increasing IT hygiene with automated detections, intuitive querying, and remote response capabilities.

Integrated Threat Intelligence

Fine-tuned for maximum performance, seamlessly enrich your security operations workflows with an ultra-lightweight Linux sensor providing API integration of host and container behavioral and exploit runtime detections into your existing automation, orchestration, log management, and incident response tooling.

Flexible Protection From Server to Container

As your organization expands from on-premises or data center to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, Sophos protects your infrastructure and data across deployment and computing models.

Linux Security

Detection and resilience for Linux systems in any environment, including container runtimes such as Docker, containerd, and CRI-O. Our detection is crafted with the threat models of cloud-native systems in mind.

Windows Security

Secure your Windows hosts and remote workers against ransomware, exploits and never-before-seen threats, control applications, lockdown good configurations, and monitor changes to critical system files.

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud

Secure applications and data across your hybrid cloud footprint from a single console. The flexible agent runs on-premises, in data centers, hybrid and multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, GCP and Oracle Cloud.

Block Unknown Threats

Sophos Workload Protection uses deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning that detects both known and unknown malware without relying on signatures.

Deep learning makes Sophos Workload Protection smarter, more scalable, and more effective against never-seen-before threats, outperforming security solutions that use traditional machine learning or signature-based detection alone.

Stop Ransomware in Its Tracks

Sophos Workload Protection includes unique CryptoGuard technology that universally detects and stops ransomware before it can impact your server workloads, including new variants and both local and remote ransomware attacks.

Using advanced mathematical analysis of file contents, CryptoGuard detects malicious encryption wherever it takes place. Any maliciously encrypted files are automatically rolled back to their unencrypted state, irrespective of size or file type, minimizing the business impact.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR)

Sophos Intercept X Advanced for Server with XDR is the industry’s only XDR solution that synchronizes native endpoint, server, firewall, email, cloud and O365 security. Get a holistic view of your organization’s environment with the richest data set and deep analysis for threat detection, investigation and response for both dedicated SOC teams and IT admins.
