Product Description

Integrated Security for Windows, Mac and Mobile

Sophos Cloud is the only integrated security solution that protects Windows and Mac and manages mobile devices. A simple, intuitive user experience makes Sophos Cloud effortless to deploy, manage and maintain.
There’s no server to install and the management console is hosted in the cloud. So, you’ll be up and running in just 60 seconds.

  • Windows, Mac and mobile device security in a single, integrated console
  • User-centric pricing, policy and reporting
  • Server protection that secures your IT infrastructure

Proven Protection Technology

We’ve based Sophos Cloud on the same proven technology that protects over 100 million devices worldwide. And, your security policies will follow each user across devices, platforms and locations.

  • Stop malware with multiple layers of protection: web exploit detection, HIPS, buffer overflow protection and more
  • Reduce your attack surface by monitoring or restricting access to removable devices
  • Keep your protection current with automatic updates and real-time lookups of suspicious files over any Internet connection

Mobile Device Management

Mobile device management in Sophos Cloud enables mobility for your users. Your road warriors can stay productive while keeping your corporate data secure, even on the move.

  • Reduce the risk of data breaches with remote wipe and anti-theft technologies
  • Enforce compliance with corporate policy: set password requirements, prohibit jailbreaking and control access to corporate email
  • Easily manage device inventory and policy from the same console you use for your workstations

High-Performance Server Protection

Sophos Cloud Server Protection protects your environment from malware while keeping your server performance in check. Sophos Cloud automatically recognizes popular server applications and adapts the configuration automatically. It detects and blocks known and zero day viruses, Trojans, rootkits and other malware, so your servers and data remain safe.

  • Automatically adapts to your server environment
  • Protection designed for servers with automatic exclusions
  • Optimized for protection and performance

Reduce Exposure with Web Control and Web Security

The web is one of the most common infection vectors for enduser devices. Sophos Cloud protects your users with built-in web security. Additionally, the web control policy makes it easy to enforce safe and productive web usage wherever your users are: at work, at home or on the road.

  • Automatically block access to known malicious and infected websites
  • Detect and block exploit code in JavaScript, PDFs and Flash objects
  • Effortlessly enforce web policy at the endpoint: no need for proxy servers, VPNs or application-specific configuration
  • Limit policies to specific times to allow user flexibility outside of work hours
