GEC NEWS WIRESophos Cloud Integrates Application Whitelisting and Anti-Malware to put Advanced Server Protection Within Reach of Over-stretched IT Teams
Sophos has declared the availability of a new advanced server protection product.
Sophos Cloud Server Protection Advanced integrates server application whitelisting with anti-malware to deliver single-click server lockdown, using the simple, intuitive Sophos Cloud management console that makes it easy to deploy, manage and maintain. The simple one-click lockdown puts the server in a default/deny mode so that only approved or whitelisted applications can run. With integrated anti-malware, HIPS and whitelisting, Sophos Cloud Server Protection improves overall security, and can more effectively prevent zero-day attacks, especially content and memory-based attacks that typically target servers and can by-pass products that just use whitelisting.
John Shaw, vice president product management at Sophos said, “With this level of integration, IT administrators at small to mid-sized organizations can now easily upgrade protection of their critical Windows servers – whether on-premise or in the cloud – and prevent attacks without spending weeks or months to configure, test and deploy white-listing applications.”
“Sophos Cloud Server Protection Advanced is particularly easy to implement, very resource efficient, and reliable while protecting Windows Server operating systems. We have already tested it successfully and are excited about this new functionality.” states Maik Luehrs, Technical Consultant, dicom Computer Vertriebs GesmbH.
Sophos Cloud enables the simple and effective management of security, with an integrated cloud-based management console. The single ‘pane-of-glass’ interface provides visibility into all users, showing all their devices and their protection status on each.
