Anti-ransomware

Why classic antivirus is not enough

Ransomware uses known tools and often no dedicated malware. It exploits stolen credentials, unpatched systems or a manipulated process – and then starts encrypting files. Signatures often recognise this too late.

Sophos Intercept X therefore relies on behaviour: CryptoGuard monitors write access and detects the typical pattern of encryption. If files are modified, the protection stops the process and restores the affected files to their previous state.
