Sophos Central enforces a bad password policy. Your account will be temporarily locked after five attempts to sign in with an incorrect password. Initially, the lockout lasts one minute, incrementally extending to five hours if incorrect password attempts persist for the same administrator.

You can contact Sophos Support. See Sophos Support.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

You can change your MFA method using the Manage MFA setting.

Account Preferences

You can enable Enterprise Management for Sophos Central Enterprise.

Sophos Central Enterprise enables distributed security management. It gives administrators the ability to manage the security of an organization divided into multiple sub-estates. For example an organization that has several sites can manage the security for each site as a separate sub-estate.

Click your Profile icon, and then click Account preferences.

Warning

Once you have turned on this feature, it can only be turned off from Sophos Central Enterprise by an Enterprise Super Admin.

When you enable Enterprise Management from a Sophos Central account any other accounts associated with your customer account are linked to your Sophos Central Enterprise account as sub-estates.

Sub-estates can't be managed in Sophos Central Enterprise until the sub-estate's Sophos Central administrator allows the Enterprise Admin to access the sub-estate's account. You must have the Super Admin role to do this. You cannot turn off Enterprise Admin access once you have opted in.

To allow access:

  1. Check in Account preferences that Enterprise Management has been enabled and that you can see the Enterprise Admin's details.
  2. Switch on Enterprise Admin access.

Evaluation modes

Warning

Use these settings only in a standalone test network.

Monitor mode

You must join the New Endpoint Protection Features Early Access Program to use Monitor mode.

In this mode, we detect threats but don't block them.

Warning

This mode turns off protection for all your computers and servers. This applies regardless of your policy settings.

If you want a detection-only product that can run alongside third-party protection, join the XDR Detection Sensor Early Access Program instead.

Aggressive threat detection

In this mode, we do extra-intensive monitoring and classification of application behavior.

Warning

This mode slows down your computers and servers. It also generates many more detections and automatically created investigations.

Sophos Support

You can select the types of Sophos Support you want to receive.

Click your Profile icon, and then click Support settings.

The options are:

  • Remote Assistance. This enables Sophos support to access your Sophos Central session directly for 72 hours to help you. This option is disabled by default.

    Note

    You can also enable this option when you request support by clicking Help > Create Support Ticket at the top of the page.

  • Partner Assistance . This enables your designated partner to access your Sophos Central portal and to configure the Sophos Central service on your behalf. This option is disabled by default.

    Note

    If you do not enable partner assistance, your partner will only see high-level reporting information such as services purchased and current usage figures.
