Benefits & Features
Comprehensive protection
Proactive blocking of new virus updates, simple automated
management and small, frequent updates make it easy
to protect against malware and data loss without slowing
your users down. One scan stops viruses and detects
adware, suspicious files and behavior, unauthorized
software and removable storage devices.
Full disk encryption protects your data ensuring
lost or stolen computers do not result in a compliance
or PR disaster. Data is further protected by controlling
user access to USB drives, removable storage and wireless
connections, as well as restricting access to P2P, IM
and other applications.
Simplified management
Centralized deployment from a single management console
reduces the amount of time and resource needed to implement
new policies and functionality. Active Directory synchronization
allows agents to be deployed and the right policies
applied automatically, without affecting user productivity.
The at-a-glance dashboard and emailed outbreak alerts
keep you up to date with the security status of all
machines across your network and the central deployment
of endpoint compliance ensures that all computers meet
your security policies.
Our integrated third-party removal tool automatically
removes your existing endpoint protection solution when
you deploy the Sophos agent.

Faster, low-impact protection
One scan with our single anti-virus client blocks
and cleans viruses, spyware and adware, suspicious behavior
and files, removable storage devices and unauthorized
applications.
- Sophos updates are small in size and are released
as frequently as every five minutes – an advantage
for companies wanting fast protection with low impact
on network resources.
- Decision Caching™ technology improves on-access
scanning performance by intercepting and scanning
only the files that have changed since last accessed.
- SophosLabs signatures control applications that
can adversely impact network and user productivity,
such as VoIP and IM.
Effective zero-day protection
Sophos HIPS, technology pioneered by SophosLabs,
provides detection that automatically guards against
new and targeted threats and can detect over 85 percent
of unknown threats.
The built-in intrusion-prevention technology detects
malware, malicious and suspicious behavior and files,
and delivers proactive protection without complex installation
and configuration. Scanning is performed using Sophos’s
anti-virus engine, without the need to deploy any additional
components.
This innovative technology uniquely analyzes the
behavior of code at two stages:
- Pre-execution – behavior of code is analyzed
before it runs and is prevented from running if
it is considered to be suspicious or malicious.
- Runtime – intercepts threats that cannot be
detected before execution.
Preventive protection reduces risk of infection
By identifying managed and unmanaged computers with
potential security flaws, like out-of date anti-virus
protection or a disabled firewall, you can reduce the
risk of infection. You can choose to either block non-compliant
computers or ensure that security is improved to meet
a required standard before allowing access.
- Default policies check if anti-virus and client
firewall protection is active and up to date on
managed and unmanaged computers.
- Sophos NAC agent checks if Microsoft operating
system service packs are installed, and that Microsoft/Windows
Update is enabled.
- Enforcement options ensure that any unauthorized
computers are not granted access to your network.
Full data encryption provides comprehensive information
security
Sophos SafeGuard Disk Encryption is an easy to implement
solution providing full disk encryption that helps you
to meet your compliance needs.
- Simple to use configuration wizard enables easy
implementation and enforcement of your data security
policy.
- Installation can be carried out on a standalone
machine or unattended across your estate via your
existing deployment tool.
- Requires no user intervention, eliminating any
impact on their day-to-day productivity.
Simplifying deployment and administration
Sophos Enterprise Console simplifies management of
Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX protection, centralizing
deployment, updating, reporting and security policy
enforcement. It manages anti-virus and client firewall
protection, and endpoint assessment and control, providing
unrivalled visibility of the security status of your
entire network.
- The console synchronizes with Active Directory
to ensure your chosen security policy is automatically
enforced as new computers join your network.
- Outbreak risk levels across the entire network
are displayed on the security dashboard and automatic
email alerts are sent when your chosen security
thresholds are threatened.
- Protection is automatically updated as frequently
as every five minutes – and because you control
the download rate, you can preserve bandwidth.
- Endpoint computers can be completely disinfected
in a single, simple operation from the console.
- ActivePolicies in the console allows you to
create a policy once and then apply it across multiple
groups, on Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX computers.
- Policies cover updating schedules, anti-virus
and HIPS, client firewall, application control and
NAC.
- Integrated graphical reporting delivers instant
and scheduled email reports of threat alerts and
infections while the security dashboard gives you
an at-a-glance report of outbreak risk.
