Sophos Endpoint Protection

Description

Sophos Endpoint Protection (formally Endpoint Security and Data Protection) protects Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX and virtualized platforms with one scanning engine from a single management console.  Endpoint Protection offers three types of licenses, depending on the type of protection you need, Enterprise, Advanced and Basic.

  • NAC - A network access control solution assesses managed, unmanaged and unauthorized computers; detects configuration issues, such as out-of-date antivirus protection or a disabled firewall; and fixes issues before allowing access.
  • Client Firewall - A centrally managed client firewall designed for the enterprise environment blocks worms, stops hackers and prevents intrusions.
  • Mobile Security - Antivirus and anti-spyware protect Windows Mobile smart-phones and PDA's.
