Protect and monitor for suspicious activity and evasive threats
Adversaries are increasingly deploying sophisticated tactics to avoid being blocked by preventive cybersecurity solutions. Real-time and continuous monitoring is required to detect human-led attacks and prevent breaches.
Sophisticated attacks using evasive techniques
Attackers attempt to avoid triggering preventive security tools to allow more time for a comprehensive breach, and the ability to monetize their attack.
Prioritizing what to investigate
Mecurity tools can generate a large volume of alerts. Knowing which alerts are essential to investigate can be the difference between detecting a threat and missing it.
Team skills and agility
Organizations may lack the necessary knowledge and skills to respond effectively to advanced threats, increasing risk and potential impact.

Sophos Endpoint included
The industry’s most sophisticated AI-powered endpoint security solution, including robust defenses against local and remote ransomware, and adaptive defenses is included with Sophos EDR.
Supports non-Sophos endpoint protection
You can choose to use Sophos Endpoint (included) or a non-Sophos endpoint protection agent like Microsoft Defender.
Automated responses
Fully automated actions like process termination, ransomware rollback, network isolation, and adaptive attack protection, contain threats rapidly and save your team valuable time.
Security analyst responses
Your team can isolate an endpoint or manually engage adaptive attack protection while they investigate suspicious activity, use live response for direct and audited shell access to your devices, and more.
AI-prioritized detections
Easily identify suspicious activity that needs immediate attention. Sophos EDR automatically prioritizes detections based on risk, providing full context.
AI case summary
Provides an easy-to-understand overview of detections and recommended next steps, helping you make smart decisions fast.

Find the data you need quickly, using natural language queries and pre-canned search prompts. No complex SQL required.
AI command analysis
Analyzes complex command line arguments to uncover their intent and impact, with explanations in plain language.
Rich and real-time insights
Analyze endpoint activity in real-time with access to rich on-device data, and search historical events using the Sophos data lake, even when devices are offline.
Device exposure
Identify risky, out-of-date devices that are most vulnerable to threats, enabling you to act quickly to reduce risk.
MITRE ATT&CK Framework mapping
Threat detections are automatically mapped to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, enabling you to easily identify gaps in your defenses.
Multi-platform support
Protect endpoints and servers, both on-premises and in the cloud, across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems — including legacy platforms.
Powerful capabilities for IT Operations and security operations
Sophos NDR works together with your managed endpoints and firewalls to monitor network activity for suspicious and malicious patterns they cannot see. It detects abnormal traffic flows from unmanaged systems and IoT devices, rogue assets, insider threats, previously unseen zero-day attacks, and unusual patterns deep within the network.
- Install and uninstall software.
- Terminate active processes.
- Run scripts, programs, third-party forensic tools.
- Edit configuration files.
- Shut down and reboot devices.

Stop breaches before they start
Most EDR solutions force you to waste valuable time
investigating incidents their protection should have
blocked. Sophos EDR includes Sophos Endpoint, offering
complete protection, detection, investigation and
response in a single, unified agent.
Validated by consistent top scores in independent
security tests, Sophos Endpoint automatically stops more
threats before they escalate, so resource-stretched IT
teams have fewer incidents to investigate and
resolve.

click in your Sophos console — no no additional agents
to install.
