Sophos Intercept X is designed to run alongside any AV vendor. To Beta, you’ll be creating a trial of Sophos Central. Sophos Central contains a lot of powerful security,including our award-winning Endpoint Protection. However, for this test, we want to make sure you DONOT ACTIVATE our Endpoint Protection as this will force an uninstall of your current AV. This includesSophos on-prem managed Endpoint Protection. Already a Sophos Central Endpoint Protection customer? You know we love you, but this contest is notfor you. We want people to help us test alongside other 3rd party AV solutions. You can still get yourhands on Sophos Intercept X by activating the beta from inside your console. If you run some AV OTHER than Sophos on your Windows devices, this contest is for you.2
