Sophos MDR vs. Traditional Antivirus: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to protecting your business from cyber threats, not all solutions are created equal. While traditional antivirus software has been a go-to for years, modern threats require modern defenses. Enter Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR)—a next-level cybersecurity solution that goes beyond the basics.
Traditional Antivirus: Basic Protection
Traditional antivirus software works by identifying and removing known threats, such as viruses, malware, and ransomware. It relies on signature-based detection, which means it can only block threats it recognizes. While effective for basic security, it often struggles to keep up with today’s advanced and evolving cyberattacks.
