Endpoint Web Control

While Sophos UTM 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. When enabled, all policies that are defined in Web Protection > Web Filtering and Web Protection > Web Filter Profiles > Proxy Profiles are enforced by Endpoint Web Control, even if the computer is not on a Sophos UTM network. Sophos UTM and Sophos endpoints communicate through LiveConnect, a cloud service that enables instant policy and reporting updates by seamlessly connecting Sophos UTM and roaming Sophos endpoints. For instance, a roaming laptop at home or in a coffee shop would still enforce Web Control policy, and Sophos UTM will receive logging information from the roaming laptop.
