Sophos Managed Threat Detection for Windows

These are the release notes for Sophos Managed Threat Detection for Windows 10 RS4 and later, managed by Sophos Central.

The features mentioned in these release notes are only available if you have the appropriate license.

You may find that you can't yet download and use the latest version. This is because Sophos releases the software over a number of days, but publishes the release notes on the first day.

Version: 2.19.5 New

New features

Managed Threat Detection is a new Sophos service that works in parallel with third-party endpoint protection to monitor for threats that the protection product misses, or can't convict because they are too ambiguous.

The Managed Threat Detection service focuses on detection and notification of active threats that have the potential to cause most damage, like ransomware, active adversary and persistence. The Managed Threat Detection Ops team validates threats before notifying customers to prevent false positives.

In addition to real-time email communications, the real-time Managed Threat Detection dashboard with a 30 day historic view provides you with details about Managed Threat Detection activity such as detections and Managed Threat Detection cases for your estate.
