This repeats the three perfect test results in the first quarter of 2021. Sophos\u2019 Intercept X leads the enterprise and small business categories, and Sophos Home Premium is the top consumer security product.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese awards are further evidence of the power of Sophos\u2019 next generation security portfolio in defending against ransomware and other cyberthreats,\u201d said Simon Reed, senior vice president, SophosLabs. \u201cThe perfect scores are even more valuable for us if you consider the high standards of SE Labs. Their test approach and methodology are most representative of all third-party testers when compared to the actual, real-world threat landscape. For Sophos, the concept of \u2018cybersecurity delivered\u2019 is all about easy to use and state-of-the-art solutions that help to prevent, detect and respond to attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sophos Intercept X is the industry\u2019s most sophisticated endpoint security solution, offering multiple layers of security for unparalleled protection against advanced attacks. It combines anti-ransomware technology, deep learning artificial intelligence, exploit prevention, and active adversary mitigations to stop the widest range of threats. SE Labs tested the latest version of Sophos\u2019 next-gen scanning engine which is a ground-up rewrite of functionality. The update touches nearly every aspect of Intercept X and delivers multiple benefits to customers, such as reduced memory footprint, enhanced Deep Learning and AI behavioral detections and smaller updates resulting in less bandwidth consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sophos Home Premium extends Intercept X\u2019s innovative and powerful security to consumers. Sophos Home protects Windows PCs and Macs from malware and ransomware, and provides webcam privacy, web protection and parental web filtering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAttacks in this test included threats that affect the wider public and more closely targeted individuals and organizations. You could say that we tested the products with \u2018public\u2019 malware and full-on hacking attacks,\u201c said Simon Edwards, CEO, SE Labs. \u201cProducts from Sophos produced extremely good results due to a combination of their ability to block malicious URLs, handle exploits and correctly classify legitimate applications and websites. No mistake \u2013 the AAA awards from SE Labs for Sophos Intercept X and Sophos Home Premium are truly deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This repeats the three perfect test results in the first quarter of 2021.
