By locking a known-good server configuration, and building in automatic trust of known good updaters and linked DLLs, Sophos Cloud Server Protection Advanced dramatically reduces the administrative time needed to lock down multiple servers from weeks to just minutes, by simplifying configuration and only allowing approved or whitelisted applications to run.
The simple one-click lockdown puts the server in a default/deny mode so that only approved or whitelisted applications can run. With integrated anti-malware, HIPS and whitelisting, Sophos Cloud Server Protection improves overall security, and can more effectively prevent zero-day attacks, especially content and memory-based attacks that typically target servers and can by-pass products that just use whitelisting.
“Servers are the work-horses of any organization central to storing sensitive data, facilitating communications and executing business processes,” commented John Shaw, vice president product management at Sophos. “With this level of integration, IT administrators at small to mid-sized organizations can now easily upgrade protection of their critical Windows servers – whether on-premise or in the cloud – and prevent attacks without spending weeks or months to configure, test and deploy white-listing applications.”
Sophos Cloud enables the simple and effective management of security, with an integrated cloud-based management console. The single ‘pane-of-glass’ interface provides visibility into all users, showing all their devices and their protection status on each.
