Cloud Optix

Sophos Cloud Optix is an AI-powered security and compliance platform for public cloud environments.

Sophos Cloud Optix does the following:

  • Provides a real-time inventory of your servers, storage, and network elements in the cloud.
  • Helps you manage resources, monitor security, and meet compliance standards in one simple-to-use interface.

Initial setup

You can add your cloud environments, like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), to Sophos Cloud Optix to see your cloud resources, network traffic, and potential threats. The service only needs read access to your cloud environments.

Read the Sophos Cloud Optix help to find out how to protect your cloud environments.
