Benefits of endpoint web control

While the Sophos Web or UTM appliance provides security and productivity protection for systems browsing the web from within your corporate network, endpoint web control extends this protection to users’ machines. This provides protection, control, and reporting for endpoint machines that are located, or roam, outside your corporate network.

Sophos Enterprise Console can deliver web control policies to your endpoint machines that provide malware protection and productivity rules based on common site categorizations. With the combination of Sophos Enterprise Console and a Sophos Web or UTM appliance it is possible to extend your full web policy to endpoint machines, providing more than 50 site categories, highly flexible policy configuration, and detailed reporting on threats and usage.

With Sophos LiveConnect, roaming machines will still receive full web policy updates, and will provide web usage logs back to the appliance, from wherever it connects, without having to use a VPN or configure special network settings.
