  • Extended detection and response requires the Advanced with XDR edition rather than the base endpoint product
  • 24x7 monitored detection and response is sold as the separate Sophos MDR service on top of the endpoint licence
  • The Intercept X name has been retired in favour of Sophos Endpoint, so older documentation refers to a brand the vendor no longer uses
