Overview:
Sophos Enterprise Console is part of Endpoint Security
and Data Protection. It automates the policy-based management
and enforcement of Sophos Anti-Virus and Sophos Client
Firewall and Sophos NAC. The single console with its
security dashboard and automatic email alerts simplifies
the deployment and updating of anti-malware, firewall,
host intrusion prevention, device control, application
control, and endpoint assessment and control as well
as allowing centralized clean-up of malware.
- Provides scalable management across tens of
thousand of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and UNIX computers.
- Reduces complexity and cost of managing anti-virus,
antispyware, anti-adware, firewall, intrusion prevention,
device control, application control and endpoint
assessment and control
- Monitors security status providing an at-a-glance
view of all alerts and policy compliance across
all the computers on the network
- Enables the easy discovery of all computers
on the network and centrally deploys across the
network from a single console
- Synchronizes with Microsoft Active Directory
to automatically protect new computers as they join
the network
- Monitors and controls suspicious files and behavior,
providing a complete host intrusion prevention system
(HIPS)
- Controls removable storage devices and the installation
and use of legitimate software applications like
VoIP, P2P, IM and games
- Quickly creates and enforces security policies
across multiple groups, using Sophos ActivePolicies
- Enables centralized clean-up of malware and
potentially unwanted applications
- Provides role-based administration privileges
assigned with helpdesk and read-only consoles
- Allows management of networked computers without
end-user knowledge or involvement
- Generates graphical reports on virus alerts,
infections, and protection status
- Includes 24x7x365 support for the duration of
the license and one-to-one assistance.
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.
Industry-leading expertise 24/7
- Our 24/7 customer support operation is highly
acclaimed, while SophosLabs™, our global network
of threat analysis centers, provides a rapid response
to emerging and evolving threats.
