Ransomware is the number one form of Malware attack that affects businesses across the world everyday. It encrypts files and holds them hostage until the ransom is paid which causes massive disruption to business productivity. Petya, WannaCry and Locky the more recent strains of Ransomware, can easily bypass antivirus software and encrypt business data – costing businesses thousands of pounds to resolve.
No amount of protection is 100% guaranteed to protect your business from cyber security threats and Malware as new strains are released every day. However, with the ability to automatically stop Ransomware attacks as soon as they’re detected and roll back damaged files to a safe state the new Sophos Intercept X technology stands a good chance of changing that.
What is Intercept X?
Sold via a licensing model, Sophos Intercept X is a new era of end point Malware protection available for devices running Windows 7 and above. It offers next-generation anti-exploit, anti-Ransomware, root cause analysis, and advanced system clean technology and can be installed alongside any existing endpoint security and antivirus software. A key feature of Intercept X is CryptoGuard, which prevents the malicious spontaneous encryption of data by all forms of Ransomware and quickly detects trusted files or processes that have been hijacked.
How does Intercept X remove advanced threats?
Removing Malware is no longer just a case of quarantine and delete. If Malware is detected on an endpoint, how do you know what the Malware did to your machine before it was stopped? The Intercept X technology is used within Endpoint Exploit Prevention to detect the remains of Malware and perform a deep system clean, and records forensic-level audit logging, tracking every change and cleaning the hidden Malware.
