Sophos

We provide schools with a Sophos Central online dashboard, which allows you to monitor all of the (school owned) machines with our Sophos licences installed. You are able to see the current ‘health’ of your machines, as well as alerts to inform you if users are downloading potentially unsafe files and software.

Once installed, your devices are frequently scanned for known viruses and ransomware, and Sophos keeps itself up to date automatically.
If you are unsure of the safety of a file or content on a USB drive, you can also scan it before opening it.

As part of the subscription, we provide schools with Sophos Intercept X Advanced licences.
This scans machines to detect malware, adware, ransomware, suspicious files and unauthorised software.

Why Sophos Central?
• The dashboard provides an overview covering all school machines (with the software installed), letting you know if there are any issues or if the software hasn’t been able to update
• You can control whether or not users are allowed to access USB drives and specific software
• You can track which user accessed a machine at the time of an attack
• The software can be installed in multiple ways
• If you would like extra protection, you can also purchase other licences from us, just get in touch and let us know what you are looking for
