Sophos offers an impressive portfolio for protecting your business. With the XG Series and the “Synchronized Security” approach, firewall and endpoint protection were brought even closer together last year and now work in tandem to keep everything under control.
Continuous checks for viruses, Trojans and other malicious threats are just one measure that helps you sleep better at night. The next step to make your company even more secure is encryption. With the new “Sophos Central Device Encryption”, you can achieve this in just a few clicks.
In this blog post we’ll take a very brief look at “Sophos Central Device Encryption”.
How does Central Device Encryption work?
Sophos Central Device Encryption is arguably the simplest product in the Sophos Central portfolio. It enables you to activate full-disk encryption on any selected computer in your network with just a few clicks via the central management console “Sophos Central”. If a device containing company data is ever stolen, you no longer need to worry about sensitive information falling into the wrong hands.
For full-disk encryption, Sophos uses BitLocker for Windows and FileVault 2 for macOS. Sophos does not introduce its own encryption technology, but instead leverages each operating system’s native encryption.
Sophos Central Device Encryption is currently available only for Windows (BitLocker). Management of FileVault on macOS is planned for early 2017.
