Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall vs. Sophos Intercept X for Server

I think it is well suited for big organizations. Even my place of work is pretty big [and] only part of [my organization] is using it, so it doesn't seem important to management in terms of budgeting and other help. It [should] be better when at least 50% of employees return to the office, [but] it [hasn't] happened yet.

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.

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.
