How many licenses do I need to purchase of Server and Client versions

We are a school with 6 servers and 400 Windows 10 workstations. We currently have Sophos Endpoint installed on our network.

I am interested in increasing the security particularly in light of recent ransomware incidents and have been considering Intercept X

My question is that given all student and  teacher files are redirected to the servers, (the workstations don't hold any user files) would we need to implement Intercept X on all servers and all workstations or would it be effective just deployed to the servers where all the files and data are stored.

Regards,

Neville.

  • You should always protect the entire network, not only particular hosts. You should interact with your Sophos Sales Rep to get this offer. Goverment facilities do have own calcs. 

    See: https://www.sophos.com/de-de/legal/license-entitlement-and-usage-policy.aspx

    General exception for Education, Health and Government Entities:

    If Licensee or Customer is an educational, health or government entity, Products or Services that are usually licensed or made available on a per User basis may alternatively, at Sophos’ option, be licensed or made available on a per Computer basis, or for email Products only, on a per mailbox basis. If a bundle includes both email and non-email Products, the aforementioned licenses must be the higher of the entity’s Computer and mailbox count. If Licensee subsequently transfers such Products or Services to an entity that does not fall within the education, health or government sector then the License Entitlement or Service Entitlement shall revert to calculation on a per User basis.

  • I am in agreement with , even though you may host your files on the servers, the endpoints are still at risk and subject to a great number of vulnerabilities. Any device that is on the network should be protected, especially if these devices are used by people. I think Intercept X is even more important for the endpoint due to the behavior detections that it brings.
