Security and control for every computer on your network
Supporting the widest range of platforms in the industry, Sophos Endpoint Security and
Control provides complex networks with rapid, integrated proactive protection against
known and unknown malware, adware and PUAs. It also lets you control and optionally
block applications which are legitimate but which you might not want users running, such
as Instant Messaging. Centrally installed, confi gured and monitored across the network, it
updates automatically with the latest protection from SophosLabs as frequently as every fi ve
minutes.
- Windows protection detects and removes viruses, spyware, adware and PUAs, and
controls the use of unauthorized applications.
- Protection for Mac OS X supports both Intel-based and PowerPC-based computers,
allows Windows malware to be deleted and cleaned on a Mac OS X computer, and
enables scheduled updating and confi guration from Sophos Enterprise Console or a
single Mac computer.
- Detection and disinfection of viruses, spyware, Trojans, and worms in real time
ensures full network protection not just on Windows but on other platforms such as
NetWare, Linux and many versions of UNIX.
- There is out-of-the-box support for the widest range of Linux distributions, and Linux
desktops, laptops and servers can all be scanned on access.
- All files are scanned on access as they are written to or read from NetApp Storage
Systems Network Appliance fi lers.
- On-access, on-demand or scheduled scanning detects and quarantines malware
on Windows Mobile devices, while visual and email alerts provide notifi cation of
blocked threats. You can also create and lock down company-wide security policies
for your mobile devices using a confi guration tool.
Improved performance through a single, unified detection engine
Sophos’s powerful detection engine provides cross-threat protection at every vulnerable
entry point, in a single scan. Eliminating the need for, and overhead of, separate standalone
products, the Sophos engine combines anti-malware detection with built-in intrusion
prevention and detects viruses, spyware, adware, suspicious files, suspicious behavior and
unauthorized VoIP, IM, P2P and gaming software.
- Integrated detection of threats and single scanning for good, bad and suspicious
code brings signifi cant improvements in network performance and reduction in IT
costs.
- Genotype® virus detection technology proactively blocks families of viruses even
before specifi c virus signatures are available.
- Behavioral Genotype Protection, our built-in intrusion prevention technology,
proactively protects against zero-day malware, detecting new threats before code
even begins to execute.
- Sophos behavioral rulesets are constantly validated against an extensive library of
legitimate applications, to ensure accurate detection.
- Decision CachingTM technology improves on-access scanning performance by
intercepting and scanning only files that have changed since last accessed.

Reducing complexity and cost
Through our automated, single console - Sophos Enterprise Console - Sophos Endpoint
Security and Control provides scalable security management across tens of thousands of
computers. It enables deployment and update of Sophos Anti-Virus and Sophos Client
Firewall across the network - including remote computers - from a single point. It also allows
centralized cleanup of malware, policy enforcement, and selective authorization of potentially
unwanted applications, such as adware.
- You can manage tens of thousands of Windows, Mac OS X and Linux computers
from a single console, and benefi t from unrivalled visibility of security status across
the entire network.
- The console synchronizes with Active Directory to ensure your chosen security policy
is automatically enforced as new computers join your network.
- Outbreak risk levels across the entire network are displayed on the security
dashboard and automatic email alerts are sent when your chosen security thresholds
are threatened.
- You get a complete intrusion prevention system (HIPS) without complex installation
and confi guration - runtime analysis, buffer overfl ow and unique pre-execution
protection proactively detect malware, suspicious files and behavior, and are
managed from the single console.
- ActivePoliciesTM in the console allows you to create a policy once and then apply it
across multiple groups, across Windows, Mac and Linux computers, and across all
versions of Sophos Anti-Virus.
- ActivePoliciesTM reduces the recurring management costs associated with anti-virus,
anti-spyware, anti-adware, client fi rewall and intrusion prevention, and now include
controlling unauthorized VoIP, P2P, and IM use.
- Your protection is automatically updated as frequently as every fi ve minutes - and
because you control the download rate, you can preserve bandwidth.
- Integrated graphical reporting delivers instant and scheduled email reports of threat
alerts and infections while the security dashboard gives you an at-a-glance report of
outbreak risk.
- Endpoint computers can be completely disinfected in a single, simple operation from
the console.
- You can search via the built-in Sophos search-and-fi nd mechanism, which uses any
existing Active Directory data, or by IP subnet ranges.
