Hello! New to this forum.
We have the Sophos Agent here on all of our servers. I need to use the agent to scan a single file on the CLI and output whether or not it is infected. I need to do this in C# that's why I was looking for the CLI app. But I don't see sophosinterceptxcli.exe installed. What version of sophos does it come with?
Hello Michael Leonetti ,
Good day.
Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community forum.
SophosSAVICLI.exe was previously used for scanning files, which is now replaced by sophosinterceptxcli.exe tool. Click Here for more information about SophosSAVICLI.exe.
sophosinterceptxcli.exe command-line tool introduced with Core Agent 2022.1.0.78 is installed automatically when you install Sophos Endpoint. This tool is installed in Program Files/Sophos/Endpoint Defense. You can refer here for more information on it.

Hi Michael Leonetti ,
Yes, you're right. Core agent version 2.20.12 is the older one, which has already reached its end-of-life date; hence, you don't see sophosinterceptxcli.exe. On January 28, 2024, the certificate used by the previous SDDS2 update mechanism will expire, causing devices that update using SDDS2 to fail to update. You could follow the workaround mentioned in this article to update your device with the latest core agent, after which you could see sophosinterceptxcli.exe.
Regarding your second query, I would like to highlight the point below, which is mentioned here.
