Defeat Cyberattacks
Sophos delivers an AI-native cybersecurity platform that helps organizations prevent, detect, and respond to threats across endpoints, network, identity, email, and cloud — all managed through Sophos Central. The result is simpler operations, faster response, and stronger security outcomes without piling on extra tools.
At NSS, we support partners end-to-end: solution design, enablement, presales support, and guidance on positioning Sophos for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise opportunities.
Stop threats before they strike. Prevention-first endpoint security that blocks ransomware, streamlines operations, and empowers your team to respond faster with higher confidence.
Platform differentiators
Sophos Central
(unified platform management)
A single console for deploying, managing, and monitoring Sophos security technologies across multiple domains. Centralized policy, visibility, alerts, and reporting make it easier to scale security across multiple customers or sites, without operational overload.
Sophos AI
(built-in, practical AI for defenders)
Sophos AI is embedded across the platform to improve prevention and accelerate investigations. It helps teams reduce noise, understand incidents faster, and automate response where it makes
Threat Intelligence
(Sophos X-Ops)
Sophos X-Ops combines threat intelligence, AI, and expert-led security operations insights to strengthen detections and response. It helps partners and customers stay current with real-world attacker behavior and emerging techniques.
Sophos MDR
(Managed Detection & Response)
A 24/7 managed service for threat hunting, detection, investigation, and response — ideal for organizations that want stronger outcomes without building a full SOC. Sophos MDR can also help customers get more value from existing security investments through broad integrations.

Platform pillars
Endpoint Security
Endpoint protection
(next-gen antivirus)
Sophos Endpoint / Intercept X provides layered prevention that’s built for modern ransomware and hands-on-keyboard attackers — not just commodity malware.
- Multi-layer threat prevention (including AI-driven detection)
- Strong ransomware defenses and exploit prevention
- Centralized policy and posture visibility via Sophos Central
Server protection
Extends endpoint-grade protection to servers and critical workloads, helping reduce downtime and risk in high-impact systems.
- Protection for Windows and Linux server environments
- Compatible with investigation and response workflows (EDR/XDR)
Designed to support secure hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud)
Mobile security
Combines Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) with modern mobile threat defense to reduce mobile risk without creating admin complexity.
- Enroll and manage devices through Sophos Central
- Protect mobile endpoints against malicious apps, risky networks, and device-level threats
- Useful for BYOD and distributed workforce scenarios
Endpoint Detection & Response
Adds deep visibility and response capabilities so teams can investigate and contain threats when prevention isn’t enough.
- Threat hunting and investigation tooling for suspicious activity
- Rapid response actions to contain and remediate incidents
- Helps security teams validate impact and scope during active events
Security Operations
Extended Detection & Response
(XDR)
Sophos XDR correlates telemetry across multiple security layers into actionable cases — helping teams investigate faster and reduce alert fatigue.
- Unified view across endpoint, network, cloud, email, and identity signals
- Case-based workflows designed for speed and clarity
- Integrations that support multi-vendor environments
XDR with Next-Gen SIEM
A modern SecOps approach that brings XDR + SIEM-style retention and analytics together — built for scale, automation, and ROI.
- Collect and analyze broader telemetry (not just alerts)
- Improve detection quality through correlation across sources
- Support compliance and investigations with scalable retention
Sophos AI Assistant
(for XDR users)
A natural-language investigation assistant that helps analysts — especially less experienced ones — move faster.
- Guided workflows and plain-language insights
- Speeds up investigations and threat hunting
- Helps teams get value from XDR without needing expert-level depth on day one
Sophos MDR
(24/7, expert-led outcomes)
For customers who want strong outcomes and faster response — with a defined operational model.
- Continuous monitoring and proactive threat hunting
- Human-led response actions (containment and remediation support)
- Clear escalation paths and incident reporting aligned to customer needs
Identity Security
Identity Threat Detection & Response
(ITDR)
Designed to detect identity-based attacks that bypass traditional controls (a common path in real breaches).
- Identifies identity risks and misconfigurations
- Monitors for suspicious identity behavior and attack techniques
- Adds intelligence on compromised credentials to strengthen response
Network Security & Infrastructure
Next-gen firewall
(NGFW)
Sophos Firewall consolidates core network security and supports modern requirements like encrypted traffic visibility, SD-WAN, and integration with MDR/XDR workflows.
- NGFW capabilities with centralized management and reporting
- Built-in support for remote access modernization (ZTNA-ready approach)
- Strong fit for branch, distributed enterprise, and campus edge
Network Detection & Response
(NDR)
Adds deep network visibility to catch suspicious behaviors that may not show up on endpoints.
- Detect abnormal flows, rogue/unmanaged devices, and C2 behaviors
- Sends detections into Sophos Central for correlation and investigation
- Works with firewall and XDR/MDR workflows for faster containment
Zero Trust Network Access
(ZTNA)
A modern replacement approach for broad-access VPN models, enabling policy-based access to specific applications.
- Access decisions based on identity and device health
- Granular application-level control
- Designed to scale cleanly for remote and hybrid work
Network switches
A modern replacement approach for broad-access VPN models — enabling policy-based access to specific applications.
- Access decisions based on identity and device health
