Announcing Active Threat Protection with the new Sophos Email Advanced
The new Sophos Email Advanced license now features Sophos Active Threat Protection (ATP) with cloud sandboxing and advanced URL protection – driving threat prevention to unmatched levels.
The same technology as our award-winning Intercept X, the artificial intelligence built into Sophos Email sandboxing is a deep learning neural network, able to detect both known and unknown malware, as well as unwanted applications before they execute. Detonating files in series of virtual machines, we simulate real end user environments where behavior can be monitored, delivering you safe attachments.
While Time-of-click advanced URL protection re-writes all email links, checking the website reputation before delivery and at the time you click – blocking stealthy, delayed attacks.
