Sophos Intercept X Advanced with MTR
The world’s best endpoint protection
Sophos Intercept X Advanced with MTR is the next step up from EDR. It’s built on the Intercept X Advanced / EDR technology. Sophos MTR fuses man and machine, leveraging machine-learning and expert analysis for improved threat hunting and detection. It comes in two flavors, Standard and Advanced. Compared to Intercept X Advanced with EDR, Sophos MTR does more than give the ability to detect and snoop. It also has a managed service component. In other words, you have more outside expertise at your disposal. Things like 24/7 Lead-Driven Threat Hunting, Threat Neutralization and Remediation, and Data Retention.
You’ll also get Activity Reporting. This enables you to prioritize threats that have come in, and responses that were taken. And, Adversarial Detections helps determine the difference between legitimate behavior and the tactics and procedures used by attackers. Because most successful attacks rely on the execution of a process that can appear legitimate to monitoring tools.
Sophos MTR Advanced
As far as the Advanced version of MTR, it has all the features of the Standard version, of course. Plus, Sophos MTR Advanced also offers 24/7 Lead-less Threat Hunting, Direct Call-In Support, and Threat Response Team Lead, and I think it’ll also feed the cat and take out the trash.
One feature of Sophos MTR Advanced that sticks out, however, is Dedicated Threat Response Lead. Upon confirmation of an incident, a personal threat response lead is provided to collaborate with, until the active threat is no more.
In summary
Sophos MTR, and the whole Intercept X family cover a wide range of medium-to-large business use cases. This is a serious product that offers a huge buffet line of features depending on your needs and your abilities to take advantage of them. Sophos MTR is ideal for businesses with Information Technology staff and many endpoints to protect. If your business includes hundreds or thousands of endpoints, Sophos MTR is a potent protection product. But they all share the same clean, recognizable, easy-to-navigate Sophos Central cloud interface.
