SOPHOS ENDPOINT SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION REVIEWER’S GUIDE
activepolicies
Simplified policy setting and enforcement
Using Sophos ActivePolicies™, you can quickly and intuitively create and deploy
network-wide policies independently of groups, allowing you to deploy one policy
across multiple groups simultaneously. ActivePolicies takes the pain out of policy
enforcement in seven key areas.
Updating policies
Enterprise Console enables you to keep your computers up to date with the latest
protection. You can configure the times at which different parts of the network
update and the location computers will connect to for their updates. This feature
is particularly useful if your organization has large networks covering different
time zones, or staff working at their computers at different times – particularly
remote laptops connecting to the network. Controlling automatic update settings
also enables you to minimize the effect of updates on network performance.
Configuring software subscription settings allows you to specify which versions
of endpoint software are downloaded from Sophos for each platform. The default
subscription includes the latest software for Windows 2000 and later.
You can also use bandwidth throttling, preventing computers from using all the
bandwidth for updating when they need it for other purposes, e.g. downloading email.
