Sophos Endpoint Security
Sophos Endpoint Security provides proactive detection and preventive against viruses, spyware, adware, suspicious files, suspicious behavior and unauthorized applications such as IM, P2P and games. New and unknown threats are proactively stopped by Sophos HIPS technology along with rapid automated signature updates. Simplified management functionality reduces administration burden by enabling centralized and automated deployment, updating, alerting and reporting across Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, safeguarding the integrity of the entire network. SophosLabs™ – our global network of threat research centers – analyzes web and email traffic 24 hours a day to secure and protect against any new virus, spyware, spam, or web-based threat anywhere in the world, irrespective of origin. Web, email and telephone support is included for free.
Detection of malware is at the heart of any endpoint security solution and comprehensive published detection rates are a valid source of information. However, good malware detection rates alone will not guarantee the best protection. The most successful solutions are easy to manage, provide proactive protection against zero-day
threats, and offer other security capabilities, such as HIPS, application control, firewall, and network access control. Underlying these should be 24-hour threat analysis from integrated global research labs, and technical support from cross product experts. By assessing potential products against all these criteria, organizations will go
a long way to ensuring they choose the right endpoint security solution to protect them against today’s rapidly evolving threats and increasingly open network environment.
