Feature Request: Sophos Home Tamper Protection

I am tied between choosing Sophos Home or Emsisoft Anti-Malware. I was initially going to go for Sophos Home because of their integration of Intercept-X into their home products. I then found out that Sophos Home does not implement the tamper protection feature in their home products like they do in their enterprise products. Because of this, I would feel unsafe knowing that malicious software and hackers can easily disable the software. I would just like to request for this feature to be added in Sophos Home because it is a very essential part of an anti-virus program.

Do we know when this is likely to be implemented? Disabling Sophos Home is trivial with a simple 'net stop' or 'taskkill /f /im' command. This really needs fixing as a user with only a basic grasp of the command line could completely bypass Sophos protection. Malware can invoke a batch file to disable Sophos, then run a simple certutil decode command to decode a base64 encoded malware executable which can then be executed. Not difficult at all!

It’s been a few months since I posted this request, and I have yet to see this implemented. This is a very important feature, and I find this very disappointing that tamper protection on Sophos Home isn’t available by default. Any updates?

Hi Enrick Ordono,

The feature request requires enough votes from users and then it will be reviewed by the concerned team for implementation. This is a long-term process which might take time.
