Easy and efficient central management

Sophos Central helps you manage security policies and administer multiple products from a single web interface. No management servers to deploy or install, your endpoints, servers, appliances, and devices will check in directly with Sophos Central to receive new settings, send alerts, and share contextual security intelligence.

Getting started is easy

Managing your security from Sophos Central means you no longer have to install or deploy servers just to get started. Sophos Central provides default policies and recommended configurations to ensure you get the most effective protection from day one.

Synchronized Security

The Sophos Security Heartbeat lets your Sophos products share real-time security intelligence. Sophos Central synchronizes that intelligence across your security products, creating more effective protection against advanced malware and targeted attacks. To take advantage of Sophos Security Heartbeat today, you need Sophos Endpoint Protection and a Next-Gen Firewall powered by Sophos Firewall OS.

Partner support

Your Sophos Support Partner also uses Sophos Central to manage their business, meaning you can grant them access to your configuration if needed. Want someone to check out your firewall configuration? No problem, your Sophos Support Partner can assist.
