Sophos Endpoint, from prevention to fully managed.

Q: What is the difference between Sophos Endpoint, EDR, and XDR?

Sophos Endpoint is prevention and control that stops threats automatically. Sophos EDR adds tools for your team to detect, investigate, and respond on endpoints. Sophos XDR extends that across email, network, cloud, identity, and third-party sources with cross-product correlation.

The same Sophos agent protects Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. What changes across the tiers is how much detection and response you run yourself, and whether Sophos experts run it for you. Here is how to pick the right level. Buy below, or ask us to size it.
