Updated Known Issues List 29 October 2019 / IPS causes issues with wireless network adapters

Where do  I find this setting at?

Thank You,

Jacqueline

Hi Jacqueline,

Assuming you are asking for where to switch off IPS in the settings shown in the screenshot before, here are the steps to get to the setting. 

1. Log in to Sophos Central
2. In the navigation panel on the left, click on "Endpoint Protection"
3. In the navigation panel of the Endpoint Protection, click on "Policies" under "Configure"
4. You should now see a list of policies you can apply to endpoints. The first type should be "Threat Protection". Click the "Base Policy - Threat Protection" policy
5. Click on "Settings"
6. Scroll down to the section "Runtime Protection". You should see a few lines that have a blue background. The first one is "Prevent malicious network traffic with packet inspection", under "Protect network traffic"

Hey Vincent, the latest fix list for the 2.5.2 endpoint release indicates the Network Protection module was updated -- is this a fix for this Wifi issue?  Referenced here:  downloads.sophos.com/.../sesc_core_rneng.html

Hi Bruce,

Unfortunately that is not yet the case. We have found the root cause of the Wi-Fi issue, and are working on a fix, but it has not been released yet.

This release has nothing new with regards to the components in the EAP. We will update the EAP soon, but i will announce this in the forum so you are aware of any changes beforehand. 

Best regards,

Vince

Understood, thanks!  I was just itching to test the Wifi fix.

Just got 2.0.16 Intercept X update on my test clients --- any idea as to fixes we can look for (specifically the wifi issue)?

Hi Bruce,

Just a quick reply as Stephen has answered your question here as well: https://community.sophos.com/products/intercept/early-access-program/f/feedback-and-issues/116564/new-version-released-and-installed-any-updates-as-to-fixes-in-this-version.

This release updates Intercept X components, see this blog post: https://community.sophos.com/products/intercept/early-access-program/b/blog/posts/enhanced-protection-eap-extended-with-new-intercept-x-features. These features are silent in a first phase, we'll update you when they go live.

We'll keep you informed on any updates for AMSI and IPS (and Intercept X).

Regards,

Vince
