“The need for next-generation endpoint protection that doesn’t rely on signatures is long established. Zero-day threats and some ransom ware like Cryptolocker can only be detected by the integrated capabilities of exploit prevention, behavior analytics and pre-execution heuristics built into our endpoint protection software today,”

According to the general manager and senior vice president for Enduser, Sophos, Dan Schiappa,“Sophos Clean can complement any installed anti-malwaresoftware by providing a second opinion on suspected files. With a minimal footprint and fast scan, Sophos Cleanwill quickly identifies and removes all residual traces of malware.”
