MDR Essentials for Server at a Glance
What you get
Around-the-clock monitoring, analyst-led threat hunting, investigation, and active threat containment
from the Sophos MDR Ops team. They separate real attacks from the daily flood of alerts so your team
hears about what actually matters.
Where Essentials fits
Essentials contains the threat, stops it spreading, and hands your team a clear action plan to finish
the job. Step up to MDR Complete when you want Sophos analysts to run the full incident
response for you and back it with a breach protection warranty.
Built for servers
Protects Windows and Linux server workloads. Includes
Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR for Server, or runs alongside your existing
third-party server protection in detection and response mode.
Extend the coverage
Add Network Detection and Response, third-party integration packs, and one-year extended data storage
as your estate grows. MDR pulls in signals from firewall, email, cloud, and identity for fuller context.
Not sure if Essentials or Complete is right?
The difference comes down to who finishes the response. We'll walk you through both tiers and size the
right server bands for your environment.
The Sophos MDR Ops team watches your server telemetry 24/7. When their analysts spot
a real threat, they investigate it, contain it to stop it spreading, and send your team a clear,
prioritized action plan to finish the cleanup. You keep control of the final response, with expert
guidance the whole way.
Both tiers give you 24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and active threat containment.
The line between them is who neutralizes the threat. With Essentials, Sophos contains the attack and
guides your team through neutralizing it. With Complete, Sophos analysts run the full incident
response for you and back it with a breach protection warranty. Not sure which fits? Talk to a
Sophos-certified expert.
MDR Essentials for Server includes Sophos Intercept X Advanced with XDR for Server,
so the sensor and detection layer are built in. If you already run third-party server protection you
can keep it, and the Sophos agent runs in detection and response mode alongside it. Either way the MDR
team gets the visibility it needs.
It is licensed per server and priced in bands, with terms of one, two, or three
years. Your MDR license is co-termed with your existing Sophos server licenses so everything renews
together. We'll size the right band and term for your environment and send an official quote.
A global team of Sophos security analysts, threat hunters, and incident responders
staffs the MDR operations center around the clock. They combine Sophos threat intelligence with the
alerts from your environment to separate real attacks from noise, so you are not the one staring at a
dashboard at 3am.
Yes. MDR Essentials can ingest signals from your firewall, email, cloud, identity,
and network products, including many third-party tools, to give analysts fuller context. Optional
add-ons like Network Detection and Response and extended data storage widen that coverage as your
estate grows.
