Dubai, UAE, August 25 , 2020 – Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, today
announced, that Intercept X for Server Advanced with EDR has been enhanced with powerful cloud
visibility features from Cloud Optix. This integration gives customers critical insights into their wider
cloud environments, including security groups, hosts, shared storage, databases, serverless,
containers, and more in addition to the details on AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud workloads.
“Intercept X Advanced for Server with EDR and Intercept X Advanced with EDR give organizations
unparalleled visibility and protection across their cloud, on-premises, and virtual estates. Cloud
Optix shines a spotlight on complete cloud environments, showing what’s there, what needs
securing, and making sure that everything stays safe and secure,” said Richard Beckett, public cloud
senior product marketing manager at Sophos. “The dynamic nature of cloud environments – with
assets being spun up and down as and when necessary to meet changing demands – can make
security and compliance assessments time-consuming. In many cases, organizations need to log into
multiple consoles and manually collate information to get a full picture. With Sophos, it’s easy as
organizations get details about the entire cloud infrastructure across different public cloud providers
on one screen, in a single management console and can dive directly into assets to get more detail
about the organization’s asset inventory and cloud security posture.”
Key features:
Cloud asset inventory – see a detailed inventory of your entire cloud infrastructure (e.g. cloud
hosts, serverless functions, S3 buckets, databases, and cloud workloads), eliminating the need
for time-consuming manual collation
Access and traffic anomaly detection – unusual login attempts and suspicious traffic patterns are
automatically detected and blocked or flagged to the admin as appropriate
Security scans – daily and on-demand scans monitor your cloud environment to ensure its on-
going security. Issues are automatically resolved where possible, with admin notification if
manual intervention is required
Configuration guardrails – stop accidental or malicious tampering with configurations that could
negatively impact security posture
Compliance policies – ensure that your cloud environment conforms to Center for Internet
Security (CIS) best practices, helping keep your security posture at its best
Alert management integrations – receive email notifications when manual intervention is
required
Powerful visibility and protection for every setup
This exciting new cloud functionality is available to all Intercept X Advanced for Server with EDR
customers at no additional cost. Log into your Sophos Central console, select Cloud Optix, and you
can get started right away.
