Sophos Endpoint is an EDR and endpoint protection platform from Sophos designed to protect small to mid-sized businesses and enterprise organisations from ransomware, malware and exploits. The product combines behavioural detection, AI-powered prevention with 60+ built-in exploit mitigations, and CryptoGuard ransomware protection with automatic file rollback capabilities. It protects Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints and servers through a single lightweight agent managed via Sophos Central, the vendor's unified security console.
Sophos Endpoint suits MSPs looking for an EDR solution with strong out-of-the-box protection requiring minimal tuning. Protection features are enabled by default, reducing configuration effort. The platform includes web protection, application allow-listing, peripheral device control and data loss prevention built-in. Behavioural detection works at runtime to catch novel threats, and the Adaptive Attack Protection feature increases defences when active attackers are detected. Ransomware protection is a particular strength, with CryptoGuard monitoring file contents for malicious encryption and rolling back affected files automatically, while also protecting against Master Boot Record attacks. Sophos also offers managed detection and response through its MDR service (strengthened by the 2024 acquisition of Secureworks) for organisations preferring 24/7 SOC oversight.
Pricing is not published and is typically available through channel resellers and direct sales as quote-based per endpoint or per workstation. A free 30-day trial is available, and AWS Marketplace deployment is supported. Sophos integrates across its Fusion platform with 500+ third-party technologies, suiting organisations that do not want a single-vendor stack. The company serves over 250,000 MSP customers globally and has held a strong market position in endpoint EDR for over a decade.
Sophos Endpoint competes directly with CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne as an EDR for MSPs. It stands out for strong ransomware defences and integration with the broader Sophos security platform, particularly valuable if you are already running Sophos firewalls or email security. The rebranding from Intercept X to Endpoint reflects Sophos moving to clearer product naming. Verify your RMM and PSA can integrate via Sophos Central APIs or pre-built connectors before selecting. The published comparison with CrowdStrike and SentinelOne typically favours Sophos on price and bundle value for MSPs deploying multiple Sophos products, but factor in total cost of ownership including integration effort.

Sophos Endpoint is the current name for the product formerly known as Sophos Intercept X. Sophos rebranded its endpoint EDR offering to Sophos Endpoint to simplify product naming across its portfolio. Community forums and legacy documentation may still reference Intercept X, but all new deployments and support go through the Sophos Endpoint and Sophos Central interface.
Sophos Endpoint protects Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints and servers through a single lightweight agent. The solution includes support for both current and legacy operating systems, with the same 60+ built-in exploit mitigations and CryptoGuard ransomware protection across all platforms.
Sophos Endpoint monitors file contents in real-time for signs of malicious encryption. When CryptoGuard detects suspicious encryption activity, it blocks the process and automatically rolls back affected files to their pre-attack state. This works for both local and network-connected storage and also protects against Master Boot Record attacks.
Sophos Endpoint does not include 24/7 managed detection and response in the base product. However, Sophos offers a separate MDR service for organisations preferring human-led threat response and a 24/7 security operations centre. Sophos strengthened this offering by acquiring Secureworks in 2024.
Sophos Endpoint pricing is not published on the vendor's public website. Pricing is typically quote-based per endpoint or per workstation and available through channel partners and direct sales. A free 30-day trial is available for evaluation, and deployment options include direct purchase or AWS Marketplace.
