Sophos Server Protection adds server-specific controls on top of the Sophos endpoint engine: application lockdown, file integrity monitoring, and performance tuning for production workloads. Built for Windows and Linux servers running on bare metal, virtualization platforms, and every major cloud.
Servers run predictable workloads, have strict change controls, and can’t tolerate the kind of overhead acceptable on a laptop. Sophos Server Protection is tuned for exactly that.
Application allow-listing for sensitive servers. Once the server is locked, nothing outside the approved baseline can execute, even if an attacker reaches the OS.
Alerts when critical system files or directories are modified, including by legitimate admin accounts. The trail auditors and DFIR teams need after an incident.
Kernel-aware exclusions and on-access scanning tuned for SQL Server, Exchange, Hyper-V, VMware, and other production workloads. Minimal CPU overhead by default.
First-class support for AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Auto-scaling friendly, with templates for Packer, Terraform, and Bicep pipelines.
Stops ransomware encryption on file servers, including remote ransomware where a compromised endpoint elsewhere tries to encrypt server shares.
Servers report into Sophos Central alongside laptops and desktops. One policy framework, one alert queue, one place to investigate.
Most servers do exactly the same thing day after day: run the database, serve the file share, host the line-of-business app. They shouldn’t be running arbitrary executables. Server Lockdown enforces that.
Servers fail differently than laptops. A compromised server affects every user that depends on it. These are the workloads our customers protect first.
The crown jewels. CryptoGuard plus Server Lockdown means a compromise on a workstation can’t turn into a ransomware payday on the file share.
Ransomware-resilient by designAWS, Azure, and GCP workloads benefit from the same protection as on-prem servers, with pipeline-friendly deployment so every new VM ships with protection baked in.
Auto-scaling friendlyHIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, and CMMC environments need both protection AND auditable change records. FIM produces the audit trail; Lockdown enforces the policy.
Audit-ready by defaultServer Protection is rarely deployed alone. Most organizations pair it with endpoint coverage, EDR for investigation, or Cloud Workload Protection for elastic environments.
The same engine that protects your servers also protects your endpoints. Unified policy, single console, consistent posture across the whole estate.
Adds continuous server telemetry, threat-hunting queries, and live response. Investigate the server fleet without RDP/SSH sessions to every host.
Same engine, packaged for elastic cloud workloads. Built for ephemeral VMs, containers, and Kubernetes nodes that spin up and down by the minute.
