Sophos launches Intercept X
2016-09-23Sophos has announced the availability of Sophos Intercept X in India. Intercept X is a next-generation endpoint security product that stops zero-day malware, unknown exploit variants and stealth attacks, and includes an advanced anti-ransomware feature that can detect previously unknown ransomware within seconds. Sophos Intercept X installs alongside existing endpoint security software from any vendor, immediately boosting endpoint protection by stopping malicious code before it executes.
Sophos Intercept X combines four critical security components that IT administrators should expect from next-generation endpoint protection.
- Signatureless Threat and Exploit Detection: Anti-malware and anti-hacker defence that blocks zero-day, unknown and memory resident attacks and threat variants without the need for file scanning
- CryptoGuard: Anti-ransomware innovation that identifies and intercepts malicious encryption activity, blocks ransomware before it can lock and cripple systems and can roll back maliciously encrypted files to their pre-attack state
- Root Cause Analytics: A 360-degree visual analysis of attack events that shows where the attack came in, what it affected, where it may have stopped and recommended actions to prevent a similar attack in the future
- Sophos Clean:Powerful utility that hunts for and removes any trace of spyware and deeply embedded, lingering malware
Announcing the availability of Sophos Intercept X in India, Sunil Sharma, Vice-President – Sales, Sophos India & SAARC, said, “India ranks fifth amongst the top vulnerable countries worldwide with a threat exposure rate of 16.9% (Geomalware report). Sophos Intercept X will play an important role to combat next-generation threats with its powerful and effective anti-ransomware, anti-exploit and root-cause analysis features. Our customers need not worry about being held ransom anymore or attacked via multiple software exploits.”
Developed as a core component of Sophos’ synchronized security strategy, Sophos Intercept X is enabled with the Security Heartbeat to share threat intelligence with Sophos’ next-generation XG Firewall and SafeGuard Encryption solutions for a coordinated and automated response to attack. The product can be installed and managed remotely through the Sophos Central cloud-based management console that allows administrators to control and configure settings, distribute licences, add new endpoints and track all activity. In addition, the single pane of glass dashboard designed for Sophos partners shows all Sophos Central services available to provide higher levels of customer protection while offering partners additional recurring revenue opportunities.
Sophos Intercept X is available to order today and a free trial is available through the Sophos Intercept X webpage. Intercept X price ranges from INR2,500 to INR4,000, per user, for one- year term and scales based on volume and term length. Partners can go to our Sophos Partnerwebsite for additional information.
