Sophos 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 include: Cloud asset inventory, Access and traffic anomaly detection, Security scans, Configuration guardrails, Compliance policies and Alert management integrations.
This new cloud functionality is available to all Intercept X Advanced for Server with EDR customers at no additional cost.
Current customers using Sophos Central that would like to try out this new functionality in addition to the recently released EDR IT operations and threat hunting capabilities can start a trial from within the Sophos Central console.
