AI-powered endpoint
security, managed end-to-end.
Sophos Intercept X + MDR deployed, tuned, and monitored 24/7 by CloudTechTiq's India SOC. CryptoGuard anti-ransomware, deep learning malware detection, exploit prevention — covering Windows, Mac, Linux, servers, and mobile.
Six layers of defence,
zero gaps.
Every endpoint gets behavioural AI, deep learning malware detection, anti-ransomware, exploit prevention, application control, and web filtering — managed from Sophos Central by our Indian SOC team.
CryptoGuard Anti-Ransomware
Detects malicious file encryption in real-time and rolls back affected files to pre-attack state. Stops LockBit, BlackCat, Conti, and 50+ ransomware families before they can damage data.
Deep Learning Malware Detection
Neural network trained on 500M+ malware samples identifies zero-day threats without signatures. Catches 99.98% of malware in independent AV-TEST and MITRE ATT&CK evaluations.
Exploit Prevention
Blocks 60+ exploit techniques (CVE-independent) including memory corruption, DLL hijacking, privilege escalation. Protects unpatched legacy apps and OS in Indian enterprises running Windows 7/10 LTSC.
EDR & XDR
Full forensic visibility into every process, file, and network connection across endpoints, servers, firewalls, email, and cloud. Threat hunt with plain-English queries — no SQL required.
MDR (Managed Detection & Response)
24/7 human threat hunters from CloudTechTiq's Indian SOC investigate every alert, respond to active threats, and provide signed incident reports for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and RBI cyber audits.
Synchronized Security
Sophos Firewall + Intercept X talk to each other in real-time. Compromised endpoint? Firewall isolates it automatically. No SIEM config. No manual response. Works with XG, XGS, and SG series.

Typical Sophos rollouts get stuck for weeks on tuning, exclusions, and agent conflicts. We've deployed Sophos across 200+ Indian companies — we know which policies to set on Day 1.
- 1Day 1–2: Scoping & licensingEndpoint inventory, fleet segmentation, policy mapping, Sophos Central tenant provisioning.
- 2Day 3–4: Pilot rollout (20 endpoints)Agent deploy via Intune/SCCM/GPO, exclusion tuning for line-of-business apps (Tally, SAP, ERP), performance baseline.
- 3Day 5–6: Full fleet rolloutStaggered deployment, conflict checks against legacy AV, remote policy enforcement, MDR analyst onboarding.
- 4Day 7: Go-live + handoverAdmin training, IR runbook handover, first threat briefing, compliance documentation for ISO/SOC 2/DPDP audits.

Section-by-section mapping of DPDP obligations to endpoint controls. Data minimisation, 72-hour breach notification, data principal rights — what Intercept X and MDR actually cover.
MDR vs in-house SOC: the real 3-year TCO for Indian mid-market
Running the numbers — SOC analyst salaries, 24/7 shift coverage, SIEM licensing, training costs vs managed MDR. Spoiler: in-house breakeven only starts above 2,500 endpoints.
