Protecting Windows with Endpoint Security and Control

Anti-virus, anti-spyware, endpoint assessment and control, and firewall

 

Sophos Endpoint Security and Control protects your Windows network with Sophos Anti-Virus and Sophos Client Firewall, and gives you control over the security status of all managed and unmanaged endpoints. Our single anti-virus client stops viruses, spyware, and adware, and controls unauthorized applications - VoIP, IM, P2P and games - and removable storage devices.

 

Replace five products with one anti-virus

 

One scan with our single client already detected viruses, spyware and adware. Now it can also detect suspicious files and behavior, unauthorized applications and removable storage devices - so you no longer need to rely on additional point products.

 

Stop zero-day threats with built-in intrusion prevention

 

Sophos HIPS gives you complete intrusion prevention without complex installation and configuration, detecting malware, and suspicious behavior and files using our unique combination of pre-execution and runtime analysis. The smallest, most rapidly issued protection is automatically updated as frequently as every 10 minutes, at pre-set times or on demand.

 

Control VoIP, IM, P2P, games and storage devices

 

Some applications cause security, legal, support and productivity concerns. SophosLabs monitors them, our anti-virus client detects them, and all you have to do is simply set your block or allow policy in Enterprise Console. The same policy allows you to control removable storage devices and wireless networking protocols.

 

Assess and control managed and unmanaged endpoints

 

Our software identifies managed, unmanaged and guest computers with problems, such as out-of-date anti-virus protection or a disabled firewall. Problems can be easily fixed before allowing computers to join the network, or you can choose to block non-compliant computers.

 

Stop hackers with our centrally managed firewall

 

Our client firewall is designed for deployment within an enterprise environment, stopping zero-day threats and preventing intrusion from hackers.

 

One console to deploy, configure, disinfect and repair

 

Enterprise Console minimizes the time required to deploy and manage anti-virus, client firewall and endpoint assessment and control across multiple Windows computers. Endpoints can be completely disinfected in a single operation with only a couple of clicks.

 

Minimize system impact with high performance scanning

 

Scanning can be performed on access, on demand and automatically at scheduled times. Decision Caching™ technology means only those files that have changed are rescanned.
