Endpoint Security and Data Protection

Data loss prevention

Key features

Sophos takes a unique and simple approach to data loss prevention by integrating the scanning for sensitive information into the anti-virus agent. This makes it easier for you to configure, deploy and manage, as well as removing the need for a separate DLP agent to be deployed on the endpoints.

Our data control enables you to monitor for when users transfer sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or company confidential documents. You can reduce the risk of such data being accidentally saved to removable storage device or sent out of the organization, without preventing your employees from going about their daily tasks.

By combining our integrated endpoint data control with full disk encryption, granular device control and application control in Endpoint Security and Data Protection, you can easily implement a comprehensive data protection strategy all for the price of an anti-virus solution.

Integrated protection

  • Reduce the impact on system performance with a single agent that scans for sensitive data as well as malware
  • Detect when users transfer sensitive data to removable storage devices and internet-enabled applications such as email, web browsers and instant messaging clients

Easy to configure and deploy

  • Manage data control policies centrally and deploy across your entire estate or to specific groups.
  • Implement protection fast with pre-packaged data definitions including bank account details and social security numbers, supplied by SophosLabs
  • Automatically allow or block transfers - or give your users the ability to authorize transfers through desktop prompts. All end user decisions will be audited and can be reviewed in the management console.
