Sophos EDR adds continuous endpoint telemetry, AI-assisted threat hunting, and live response on top of Sophos Endpoint Protection. Built for IT teams and analysts who need to investigate suspicious activity, hunt for hidden threats, and remediate compromised devices - not just block known malware.
EDR turns “something happened” into “here’s exactly what happened, on which devices, and how to fix it.” Built on the same Intercept X agent already deployed for endpoint protection.
30 days of on-device process, file, registry, and network activity. Investigate yesterday’s alert with today’s context, even if the device was offline.
SQL-style queries across your entire endpoint estate. Pre-built templates aligned to MITRE ATT&CK, plus a query builder for custom hunts.
Remote command line to any endpoint - kill processes, isolate devices from the network, deploy scripts, or pull forensic data, all from Sophos Central.
Sophos automatically assembles process trees, related events, and threat scoring so analysts skip the manual correlation and jump straight to root cause.
Out-of-the-box queries for common adversary techniques: PowerShell abuse, credential dumping, persistence mechanisms, suspicious scheduled tasks, and more.
EDR is enabled by license - no second agent to deploy, no separate console to babysit. Just turn it on for the endpoints already running Sophos.
A user clicks something they shouldn’t. The Sophos agent blocks the payload and fires an alert. Without EDR, that’s where your investigation begins - manually pivoting through Event Viewer and pulling logs.
Endpoint Protection answers “did we block it?” EDR answers “what tried, what spread, and what should we change?”
You handle security alongside everything else. EDR’s pre-built queries and auto-assembled context let you investigate without learning to write detection rules from scratch.
Investigate without becoming an analystYou have analysts, but they’re tired of bouncing between five tools to scope an incident. EDR consolidates endpoint visibility, hunting, and response into one workflow.
Faster mean time to investigateRegulated industries need defensible incident records. EDR’s retained telemetry produces the forensic trail auditors and cyber-insurance carriers ask for after an incident.
Defensible forensic recordsEDR is the foundation of a modern endpoint security program. Where teams take it next depends on what they need most: broader signal, broader coverage, or someone else running it.
EDR is built on the same Sophos agent. If you don’t already have Endpoint Protection deployed, start there - it’s the prerequisite.
The next step beyond endpoint-only visibility. XDR adds network, email, identity, and cloud telemetry into the same investigation workflow.
No in-house analysts? Sophos MDR runs the same EDR / XDR platform with their team doing the threat hunting and incident response 24/7.
