Sophos (LSE: SOPH), a global leader in network and endpoint security, today announced the availability of a beta program for Sophos Intercept, the next generation of advanced endpoint protection in the company\u2019s 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 essential for preventing, detecting, and responding to today\u2019s cyber threats.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
