Sophos Cloud Server Protection Standard

Powerful Protection for Servers
Ensure the highest level of security for your mission-critical servers. Sophos Server Protection integrates server application whitelisting/lockdown with our advanced anti-malware and HIPS. This provides you with effective protection against zero-day attacks.

- Server application whitelisting/lockdown—protects against known and unknown threats
- Device Control protects against data theft via USB sticks
- Malicious Traffic Detection blocks or alerts based on traffic to known Command and Control URLs
- Application Control limits the applications that can execute, further reducing the attack surface
- Server Lockdown allows only specific applications and associated/trusted files to run
- Comprehensive malware scan before lockdown — your servers are locked in a known-good state

Performance Without Impact
Sophos Server Protection ensures that while protecting your Windows, Linux, UNIX, and virtualized server environments from malicious attacks your servers continue running at peak performance.

- Extremely lightweight with a small footprint
- Automatic scanning exclusions increase performance and reduce risk of disturbing key applications
- Small delta updates are compressed to speed updates
- Optionally schedule scans
- Server application whitelisting/lockdown — permits only trusted applications, further enhancing performance
