[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 975630, member: 59691"] Not sure if Sophos Home provides the same protection as HitmanPro.Alert in terms of ransomware protection for example. I tested SHP on my VM with a ransomware sample shared by [USER=86910]@struppigel[/USER] on abuse.ch and it was missed by the anti-ransomware component. I sent the file to Sophos labs and got the response that Intercept X which also uses CryptoGuard just like HitmanPro.Alert would prevent the encryption. Sophos Home however didn't block the file so I came to the conclusion that SHP doesn't have CryptoGuard or uses an outdated version. HMPA always gets the new updates first as far as I know so maybe thats why it's quite expensive in relation to SHP. Maybe someone can check if HMPA would block the sample?
