Server Linux Runtime Detection Policy
Linux Runtime Detection (RTD) policies monitor a host's running processes and applications. When configuring an RTD policy for the Sophos Protection for Linux Agent, you can leverage the SophosLabs default detections or use an RTD Profile. RTD Profiles use the SophosLabs default content with the option to turn individual rules on or off and update allow and block lists. See Linux Runtime Detection Profiles.
