Much of today’s security isn’t built
to face modern challenges. It’s too slow, and reactive to threats rather than proactive.
Threats grow more complex every day, and existing cybersecurity offerings
struggle to keep up. There’s a steady stream of new malware created every
single day. Powered by A.I., Sophos utilises deep learning technologies to
secure critical business information 24/7.
“By
integrating deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning, Intercept X
for Server is changing server security from a reactive to a predictive approach
to protect against both known and never-seen-before threats. While many products
claim to have machine learning, not all machine learning is created equally.
Deep learning has consistently outperformed other machine learning models for
malware detection,” says Ross Anderson, Sophos
Product Development Manager at Duxbury Networking.
Some
features of Sophos Intercept X for Server include:
·
Exploit prevention stops the techniques used in
file-less, malware-less, and exploit-based attacks. While there are millions of
pieces of malware in existence, and thousands of software vulnerabilities
waiting to be exploited, there are only handful of exploit techniques attackers
rely on as part of the attack chain – and by taking away the key tools hackers
love to use, Intercept X stops zero-day attacks before they can get started.
·
Anti-ransomware: Today’s ransomware attacks often
combine multiple advanced techniques with real-time hacking. To minimise your
risk of falling victim you need advanced protection that monitors and secures
the whole attack chain. Sophos Intercept X for Server gives you advanced
protection capabilities that disrupt the whole attack chain including deep
learning that predictively prevents attacks and CryptoGuard which rolls back
the unauthorised encryption of files in seconds.
·
Cloud native security: Secure your Windows and Linux
deployments whether they are in the multi-cloud, on-premises, virtual or a mix
of them all. Deployment across mixed setups is straightforward, using a
singular agent. Policies can also be applied to all servers even in mixed
environments, making deployment, configuration and management quick and easy.

·
Linux detection: When uptime is your no.1 requirement,
security tools must be lightweight and integrate into your DevSecOps workflows
to prevent risk and optimise application performance. Sophos protection for
Linux identifies sophisticated attacks as they happen without requiring a
kernel module, orchestration, baselining, or system scans. Avoiding costly
downtime, overloaded hosts, or stability snafus caused by traditional security
tools with a single agent with optimised resource limits (including CPU, memory,
and data collection limits).
·
Server Lockdown (whitelisting) ensures that only the
applications you want on your servers can be run. It only takes a single click
and it doesn’t require server downtime. File integrity monitoring (FIM)
notifies you if attempts are made to tamper with critical files.
“Deep learning makes Intercept X for
Server smarter, more scalable, and more effective against never-seen-before
threats. Intercept X for Server leverages deep learning to outperform security
solutions that use traditional machine learning or signature-based detection
alone,” says Anderson.
