Sophos NDR support for certified hardware deployments
Customers can now deploy NDR on certified hardware to support high traffic volume environments.
Previously, Sophos NDR was limited to 1Gbs of network traffic when deployed on supported virtual appliances (VMWare ESXi, MS HyperV, and AWS AMI), posing a challenge for customers with higher traffic and/or distributed branch offices.
We’re pleased to share that a new ISO image deployment for certified hardware that supports small, medium, and large network environments is now available, accommodating up to 40Gbps and 120K connections/second. Learn more.

Sophos Endpoint: Migration API for macOS and Linux
MSPs and larger customers typically have their Sophos Endpoint-protected devices split across multiple tenants (i.e., groups) for ease of management and enhanced security. Our Sophos Endpoint Migration API enables users to move endpoints in bulk from one tenant to another, saving valuable time and effort. Initially for Windows only, we’ve recently extended it to support macOS and Linux, so even more customers and partners can benefit. Developer info.

Sophos Email: Geo blocking
Sometimes organizations want to bulk block emails from a particular country, for example, if they receive high volumes of spam and malicious messages from a country with which they have no business engagement. The latest feature enhancement to Sophos Email enables admins to control messages by country of origin.
Sophos MDR: PowerShell detections from Sophos AI model
PowerShell is a common IT tool that is often abused by adversaries to help execute their attacks. The challenge for defenders is distinguishing between malicious abuse and legitimate use.
