how to encrypt servers

Hi Mark Nacionales 

You cannot install Sophos Enterprise client on the server as it is not supported. Please check this article which lists out the system requirements for Safeguard Encryption. 

Hi Shweta 

Thank you for the reply. Yes I already checked that article. My question is, for file servers, how does Safeguard encrypt the files in the file server? Because from what I have read, we need to use the location-based file encryption where a shared folder will have a security policy where only a user/group can access it. Does Safeguard Server do the file encryption of the file server since there is no safeguard client being installed on the file server.

Hi Mark Nacionales 

Location-based file encryption is supported for the scenario where the safeguard client present on the user's client operating system will encrypt the file which is present on the mapped drive or folder from the file server on the user windows computer.
