We are pleased to announce that Intercept X Essentials and Intercept X Essentials for Server are now available for purchase. This release ensures that all Sophos Central endpoint and server customers will have access to the powerful protection that is needed in today’s threat landscape.

These new products are aimed at small organizations that want the best protection but don’t require full control and management capabilities. They include the most powerful defensive features from Intercept X such as deep learning AI, anti-ransomware and anti-exploit techniques, but customers will only have access to base policies and do not have app control, web control, peripheral control, DLP, threat cases or controlled updates.

Customers that require multiple, configurable policies or control capabilities should choose Intercept X Advanced/Intercept X Advanced for Server or higher.

For more information on Intercept X Essentials and Intercept X Essentials for Server see this FAQ.
