Benefits & Features

One simplified, automated console reduces complexity

  • Sophos Anti-Virus and Sophos Client Firewall can be installed and updated across Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and UNIX computers – including remote computers.
  • Sophos NAC can be installed and managed on Windows computers providing fundamental endpoint assessment and control.
  • The Sophos Security Dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of security status across all the computers on the network. Outbreak risks are constantly monitored and automatic email alerts are sent when your chosen security thresholds are threatened.
  • The flexibility of different computer discovery methods – including network find, IP/Subnet and Microsoft Active Directory – ensures that protection can be rapidly deployed.
  • Synchronization with Active Directory ensures that when new computers join your network they are automatically protected and your chosen security policy is automatically enforced.
  • Administrators can delegate limited access to trusted users without handing over full administration capabilities. Helpdesk console allows users to take specific remediation actions, while read-only console allows them a view of the situation but without the permission to take any action.
  • Security policies can be quickly created and enforced using Sophos ActivePolicies in Enterprise Console. A single policy can be created once and applied across multiple groups, and across Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX computers.

Scalable, centralized control of more than just anti-virus

  • Enterprise Console simplifies the management of anti-virus, anti-spyware, antiadware, client firewall, host intrusion prevention, device control, application control and endpoint assessment and control.
  • Legitimate software applications like VoIP, P2P, IM, media players and games can be blocked or authorized for different groups of computers using ActivePolicies™ in Sophos Enterprise Console. For example, VoIP could be switched off for office-based desktop computers, yet authorized for remote computers.
  • Device Control blocks or allows removable storage including USB sticks, music players, external hard disks, CD/DVD drives and wireless connection technologies: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Infrared (IrDA). Policies based upon groups can be created centrally and device block events are reported instantly via the Enterprise Console dashboard.
  • Runtime analysis, buffer overflow and unique pre-execution protection provide a complete host intrusion prevention system (HIPS) without the need for complex installation and configuration. This proactive detection of malware, suspicious files and suspicious behavior is monitored and controlled from Enterprise Console.
  • Sophos Enterprise Console allows the assessment and control agent and policies to be deployed and managed across all Windows computers.
  • MSDE or SQL Server database integration provides a choice of simplicity and scalability to suit all sizes of enterprise networks.

Automated, powerful management

  • Centralized disinfection and clean-up of malware across the network is performed in a single, simple operation from the console.
  • Security and management information is delivered through customizable, integrated graphical reports. Virus alerts can be emailed instantly or to schedule and are displayed on Enterprise Console’s security dashboard.
  • Rapid threat analysis from SophosLabs and the fastest updates in the industry are downloaded as frequently as every ten minutes.
