Description
Web Protection ensures safe and productive web browsing. Protect users on your corporate network from web-based threats. Integration with other Sophos products and easy-to-use management make this solution an ideal choice for greater protection and control. To give you, as an IT administrator or security engineer, a better insight into this powerful solution, this page explains in more detail the key features and benefits of Sophos Web Protection License.
The Web Protection from Sophos offers a wide range of features to protect businesses from a variety of threats:
Key feature
With Web Control and an integrated web filter and proxy, Sophos Web Protection provides granular control over users' web access. The solution allows filtering web content by user, group, category, URL and keyword. The URL filter database with millions of websites in 92 categories is supported by SophosLabs. Organizations can create policies with browsing time limits by user/group and set up file type filters by MIME type, extension, and active content types (e.g., ActiveX, applets, cookies, etc.). Enforcement of SafeSearch (DNS-based) for leading search engines per policy (user/group) is also possible.
Key feature
QoS (Quality of Service) and traffic shaping enable companies to efficiently control and prioritize data traffic in the network. With Sophos Web Protection, you can use advanced traffic shaping options by web category or application to limit or guarantee bandwidth, prioritize traffic, and customize upload/download rate or split bit rate.
Key feature
As an increasing proportion of web traffic is encrypted, for example through HTTPS, traditional firewalls can no longer scan it effectively. This is where SSL scanning and TLS inspection come into play. Sophos Web Protection offers Xstream TLS Inspection to scan encrypted traffic for threats as well. This feature allows SSL/TLS traffic to be decrypted, analyzed, and re-encrypted without compromising user security or privacy.
Key feature
The Application Control feature in Sophos Web Protection enables identification and control of thousands of applications based on signature patterns, categories and risk levels. App-Control smart filters enable dynamic policies that automatically update as new patterns are added. Enterprises can increase visibility into cloud applications and identify shadow IT at a glance.
Key feature
The Synchronized App Control feature is part of Sophos's Synchronized Security, a comprehensive security solution that enables the exchange of information between different Sophos products. Synchronized App Control automatically detects, classifies and controls unknown Windows and Mac applications on the network by exchanging information between Sophos-managed endpoints and the firewall.
Sophos Web Protection provides flexible controls to manage access to applications by user, group, category and risk. IT administrators can create and enforce custom policies tailored to their organization's unique requirements and security concerns. This granular control makes it possible to effectively manage network protection and productivity while ensuring that critical applications and services run smoothly.
Key feature
Sophos Web Protection 's extensive reporting capabilities allow organizations to log and monitor all of the above. Detailed reporting and analytics provide valuable insight into web access, application usage, and detected threats to continuously improve the level of security in the enterprise.
