Sophos Safeguard detected as ransomware

We have this on several systems so I'm surprised this is the first time it has come up:
"CryptoGuard detected ransomware in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SGN_MasterServicen.exe"

Please let me know if anyone wants SDU output from the system this fired on. I've currently listed it as a global scanning exception along with C:\ProgramData\Utimaco\SafeGuard Enterprise\LocalCache. Should I put one in for c:\program files (x86)\sophos\safeguard enterprise\client\ as well?
