Managed security appliances

Expect more from your security appliances

 

Securing the network while dealing with other demands on time and resources is increasingly difficult for IT administrators. A managed security appliance reduces administrative overhead and is proactively supported by the vendor.

 

 

What are security appliances?

 

The promise of quick and simple installation, operating system independence, and plug-and-play protection means a security appliance can seem the perfect way to safeguard email and web gateways.

 

Historically, however, many appliances have turned out to be partial solutions - failing to provide the functions and fuss-free operation expected of them.

 

Security appliances are often simply software on a box that give poor visibility of network traffic, inadequate reporting, and have excessive daily administration requirements.

 

How is a managed security appliance different?

 

A managed security appliance delivers a complete solution by taking the strain out of monitoring your gateway protection, and ensures you're alerted if there's a problem.

 

Sophos managed security appliances provide the sense of confidence that comes from knowing your network is protected and your security solution is performing exactly as you expect. They reduce day-to-day administrative overhead, save time and are supported by us both proactively and reactively.

 

Better management through better control

 

Our appliances protect the email and web gateway from known and unknown threats and unwanted content, plus every Sophos appliance is built on a robust, easy-to-install platform and has an intuitive management console for quick access to relevant information.

 

The simple yet powerful dashboard functions and 'three clicks to anywhere' navigation are matched by time-saving features. You can:

  • Automatically install and configure the appliance
  • Automatically update your protection every five minutes
  • Receive alerts on problems (these are also sent to Sophos)
  • Access on-demand remote assistance
  • Leave the appliance to manage itself (through features such as automatic log backup, automatic disk capacity control, and Active Directory auto-detection)
  • Relax knowing that your system is connected 24/7 to Sophos remote 'heartbeat' monitoring

If you are looking for 'set and forget' usability and the confidence of a monitored security solution, a managed security appliance will give you the peace of mind you seek.
