Sophos Endpoint Protection with XDR combines Sophos’ prevention-first endpoint security with Extended Detection and Response (XDR)—so you get strong protection against malware and ransomware plus the ability to investigate, hunt, and respond using broader security context, not just a single device’s alert.

How it’s different from Sophos Endpoint Protection

Sophos Endpoint Protection is mainly focused on preventing and blocking threats at the device level:

• Malware and ransomware protection
• Exploit prevention
• Web/device/application controls
• Centralized policy management and alerting

Sophos Endpoint Protection with XDR includes all of the above, and adds investigation and cross-environment visibility so your team can answer:

• What exactly happened?
• Is it isolated or happening elsewhere too?
• How did it start and what did it touch?

In other words: Endpoint Protection stops threats. XDR helps you understand and respond to threats faster—with more context and fewer blind spots.

Key XDR capabilities (in addition to endpoint protection)

• Threat hunting and investigative search: Quickly query activity and indicators to find hidden threats or confirm scope.
• Broader visibility beyond the endpoint: Pulls in additional security context to help connect the dots across an incident.
• Correlation and context: Turns isolated alerts into a clearer story—what happened first, what followed, and what’s affected.
• Faster triage workflows: Helps reduce time spent pivoting between tools, logs, and consoles during investigations.

Benefits

• Quicker investigations: Move from “we have an alert” to “we understand the incident” faster.
• More confident response: Contain and remediate based on evidence and scope, not guesswork.
• Reduced risk of repeat incidents: Identify related activity across your environment to prevent reinfection or lateral spread.
