Sophos Exploit Prevention

Sophos Exploit Prevention provides anti-exploit technology that detects and blocks both known and unknown exploit-based threats before they can compromise endpoints.

Sophos Exploit Prevention uses behavioral analysis to identify and block exploits that attempt to take advantage of vulnerabilities in software and applications. It also includes techniques such as stack pivot detection, return-oriented programming (ROP) detection and heap spray detection to block advanced attack techniques.

Sophos Exploit Prevention can detect both known and zero-day exploits, including those that target browser, email, Office, PDF readers and other commonly used applications.

Sophos Exploit Prevention is available for Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints.

Anti-virus software primarily detects malware based on its signature or behavior. Exploit prevention technology is designed to protect against attacks that specifically target vulnerabilities in software or applications, regardless of whether the attack is known or unknown.

Yes, Sophos Exploit Prevention can be used alongside other security solutions, including antivirus software. It is designed to complement traditional security solutions by providing an additional layer of protection against targeted attacks.

Yes, Sophos Exploit Prevention can detect and block fileless attacks that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in applications or software without the need for a file-based payload.

Sophos Exploit Prevention is designed to have minimal impact on system performance. It uses a lightweight agent that runs in the background and does not require constant updates or scans.

Yes, Sophos Exploit Prevention can be managed through the Sophos Central management console, which provides a single pane of glass view of all endpoint security solutions.
