Why is real-time blocking important in Sophos products?

Real-time blocking is a critical feature in Sophos products because it proactively neutralizes potential threats the moment they are detected, thereby minimizing damage to systems. By acting immediately, real-time blocking prevents harmful threats such as malware, ransomware, and other cyberattacks from executing or spreading within a network. This capability is essential because cyber threats can escalate quickly, causing significant harm or loss of valuable data for organizations.

This approach not only protects sensitive information but also ensures the integrity of systems by stopping attacks before they can cause serious consequences. Consequently, the overall security posture of an organization is strengthened through this proactive measure, reducing the need for costly recovery efforts or damage control after an attack has occurred.
