Evaluatiing Sophos!

Robl216

Hi all,

I have used Sophos products before and will say that I have always found them to be very good.

I am now at a new company and am looking at alternative products to what they have now.  The aim is to try and bring all the seperate products they have into one if possible.

I know what Sophos Endpoint Protection can do and Safeguard.  But one thing we have here is a product to protect and resttrict removable media.  When I last looked at the Sophos solution I did not like the way, on a USB pen for instance, that if a file was removed from the pen drive it would not automatically encrypt it when put back.

Is this still the case as this is a major requirement for us here.  We need the removable media to be encrypted and stay encrypted no matter what we do with the files.

Anyone else using this with the Sophos product?

Thanks in advance.

Rob

    Hello Rob,

    Endpoint and Safeguard (unless you need only HD encryption) are still separate products.

    We need the removable media to be encrypted and stay encrypted

    AFAIK SafeGuard RemovableMedia (now called Data Exchange as optional module of SafeGuard Enterprise) does this and according to the available docs since at least 2007 (and probably longer).

    Anyone else using this with the Sophos product?

    Don't know if all readers of the SafeGuard board also read the Comments - so you might want to ask this question there as well.

    Thanks for the reply Christian,

    I will post on the SafeGuard board as suggested.

    When I last used the SafeGuard Removeable Media product it did encrypt the drive and files and installed SafeGuard Portable.

    The problem we had was that if a user opend a file from the encrypted pen they could write it back to the pen and it would not be encrypted unless they 'checked' it in using the SGP utility.

    Anyway, again thanks for the reply and I will post on the other board to see if I can get clarification.

    Rob.

    Hello Rob,

    might just be a missed configuration option - browsed through the docs and saw that you can deny access to all unencrypted files on a stick - thus I'd be surprised that it would require special actions by the user to encrypt files (unless the policy is set this way).

    Time permitting - you can test yourself, free trials available.
