Which cyber threats does Sophos Endpoint Protection primarily protect against?

Sophos Endpoint Protection is specifically designed to defend against a wide array of threats that target endpoints, such as individual computers and devices connected to a network. The primary threats that it addresses include malware, ransomware, and other sophisticated cyber threats.

Malware is a broad category that encompasses various types of malicious software, which can cause harm or unauthorized access to systems. Ransomware, a particular subset of malware, encrypts data and demands payment for its release, representing one of the most pressing threats organizations face today. Sophos has advanced technologies to detect, prevent, and respond to such threats effectively, including machine learning and deep learning capabilities which enhance its protective measures against evolving cyber threats.

The focus of Sophos Endpoint Protection is on preventing, detecting, and responding to these critical types of cyber threats. It does so by leveraging both signature-based and behavior-based detection methods, ensuring that it can protect against both known and unknown threats.

The other options, while they represent legitimate concerns in the cybersecurity landscape, do not encompass the primary focus of Sophos Endpoint Protection. Social engineering attacks primarily involve human factors rather than endpoint vulnerabilities. Insider threats typically refer to individuals within an organization exploiting their access, and while Sophos may have features to address some of these risks
