Sophos Central Device Encryption - it supports Windows Servers??

Hello Renato,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

Central Device Encryption does not support servers, only Windows Endpoints.

You could manage it via Bitlocker, but Central will not manage these settings.

Can I use BITLOCKER on Windows servers and also use  Sophos Central Device Encryption to manage Workstation for this same environment??

Hello Renato,

It’s possible to use BitLocker drive encryption policies from Active Directory in order to trigger encryption of these server OS'. The management of Recovery Keys will be done by your AD environment if done this way.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/bitlocker/deploy-management-agent

Configure BitLocker Management Services: When you turn on this setting, Configuration Manager automatically and silently backs up key recovery information in the site database. If you turn off or don't configure this setting, Configuration Manager doesn't save key recovery information.

Sophos CDE for management of keys won’t be possible on the Server OS'. CDE is only able to record workstation recovery keys.

Regards,

tks!
