Sophos, a global leader in network and endpoint security, announced today the availability of a beta program for Sophos Intercept, the next generation of advanced endpoint protection in the company’s broad portfolio of security solutions. With the steady rise of crippling ransomware, pervasive zero-day exploits and memory resident attacks, sophisticated end-user security technologies are considered essential for preventing, detecting, and responding to today’s cyber threats. Sophos Intercept can be installed and run alongside any competitive endpoint security software, boosting the levels of protection against unknown exploit variants and stealth attacks, with minimal impact to endpoint performance.

Sophos Intercept integrates next-generation endpoint defence technologies into a single product, including the progressive anti-exploit technology acquired with SurfRight in December 2015.
