Why chose Sophos Endpoint Security and Control?
Modern web threats need a specialist solution
Today, criminal activity is increasingly focused on attacking business networks via the web. These attacks are highly mobile, change rapidly and employ innovative methods of infection. Many traditional URL-based web filtering techniques cannot defend against such attacks, leaving organizations vulnerable.
Comprehensive web security and policy control
We provide bi-directional traffic inspection of requests for information and their responses, checking for malicious content, unwanted applications and non-compliance with acceptable use policies. Our unique Behavioral Genotype® technology delivers industry-leading proactive protection - without relying on updates.
Purpose-built hardware appliance
The WS1000 is a purpose-built managed appliance that provides the greatest level of self-management and alerting in the industry. The easy-to-use web-based management console delivers unrivaled insight and control, presenting all vital system statistics on a single dashboard. It's simple to set up policies, Active Directory and FTP configuration using the guided configuration interface.
Sophos Web Security and Control Features
Browse online safely
One scan with Sophos' single anti-virus client detects viruses, spyware and adware, suspicious files, suspicious behavior and unauthorized VoIP, IM, P2P and gaming software - eliminating your reliance on separate standalone products. Sophos protects all your platforms - Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX, NetApp Storage Systems and Windows mobile devices.
Protect against new types of web threats
Sophos Behavioral Genotype® Protection is tuned to detect variants and families of malware, as well as wider categories such as encrypted malware. It uses pre-execution scanning to determine the functionality of the code, and the behavior it is likely to exhibit, all without allowing the code to run. This provides high levels of detection - 93% of new threats are blocked without requiring an update.
Comprehensive policy management
Sophos' database of 54 web content categories covers 3.9 billion pages in 200 languages so organizations can confidently protect against loss of productivity, risk of legal liability, and excessive bandwidth usage. With these features and more, the WS1000 provides granular control over usage of the web across an organization.
Easy control and graphical reporting
Reports on user activity, policy compliance and overall performance provide greater insight into web traffic and its impact on the organization. The easy-to-use web-based management console delivers unrivaled ease of management; all vital system statistics are presented on a single dashboard. Flexible configuration options include unique time-based policies that enable administrators to restrict web browsing based on the time of day.
Reducing administrative burden
Sophos's unique managed appliance provides over 50 on-board monitors to ensure hardware, software, traffic, and updates are all operating to required standards. If there is an issue requiring customer involvement, Sophos proactively contacts the customer.
Powered by SophosLabs™
