What does the Sophos Intercept X feature 'Exploit Prevention' do?

The Sophos Intercept X feature 'Exploit Prevention' is designed to proactively block attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities in software and operating systems. By identifying and obstructing attempts to exploit these weaknesses, it protects systems from being compromised. This capability is vital in a security landscape where vulnerabilities are frequently targeted by malware and other threats. It not only helps in stopping a myriad of traditional and advanced attacks but also strengthens the overall security posture of the organization by minimizing the attack surface.

Other options may deal with different aspects of security management—like enhancing network speed, encrypting user data, or monitoring data traffic—but they do not directly relate to the fundamental purpose of 'Exploit Prevention', which is specifically focused on safeguarding against exploitation attempts.
