We recently had a malware incident in our organization where we lost some of our files from the system and we were not able to detect the threat. That's when we deployed Sophos. Sophos Intercept X ticks all the boxes. It has helped prevent unauthorized programs from running and provides a managed threat response. The best part is its ability to recover files automatically.
