Imperva Data Security vs. Sophos Intercept X for Server

Compliance to audits and HiTrust certification. It is key in ensuring that our audits are completed in a timely manner with no repeats of data requests and that we also are HiTrust certified at our organization. Personally while the data obfuscation is available I am not sure I would fully trust that the data is completely sanitized if need be. It's not against the Imperva product but more of issue of data being used.

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.

• The options available for auditing are outstanding.
• The system has very good reliability and tuning options for the agents on the servers.
• The data gathered is fantastic and presented in a format that is easily readable for auditors.
• For on prem usage our servers have had no issues. The Linux is extremely resilient and we have no issues with the boxes.

We have been utilizing Sophos Intercept X for Server for many years now, but previously we used Symantec. This was before a push for everything into the cloud - so I feel a fair comparison of the products is not possible. Symantec worked for us at the time, but I'm not fluent in current offerings from them.

Incentivized

• Allowed us to meet important compliance requirements.
• When protecting critical data, we can see exactly how it's being used and by whom.
• Licensing costs are very reasonable.
• It takes a fair amount of administration to use properly.

• Prevented virus/hacker attacks on our servers
• Have blocked applications that we do not allow
• Saved time on tracking virus, ransomware etc.
