Sophos cyber security for UK organisations
Sophos supplies endpoint protection, firewalls, email security and a 24/7 managed detection and response (MDR) service, all managed from one cloud console, Sophos Central. It suits organisations of any size that want endpoint and network security from one vendor, with the option to hand round-the-clock threat monitoring to Sophos.
The problem it addresses
Many organisations run endpoint protection from one vendor and a firewall from another. The two do not share what they see, so an attack that shows up on the network and on a laptop at the same time looks like two unrelated alerts.
Many organisations also have no one watching for threats outside office hours, so an alert raised at night may not be seen until the next working day.
Sophos connects its endpoint, firewall, email and network products through one console, and offers a managed service that watches them around the clock.
How it works
- Protect. Sophos Endpoint protects workstations and servers. Sophos Firewall, Email and Workspace Protection cover the network, the inbox and remote workers.
- Detect and investigate. Sophos EDR and XDR add investigation and threat hunting, drawing on endpoint, network, email, identity and cloud activity.
- Respond. With Sophos MDR, Sophos analysts detect, investigate and contain threats 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Manage. Sophos Central is a single web app for all your Sophos security. It connects endpoints to the firewall so they can act together.
