How to safely operate a developer-friendly loose policy?

Yohei Ikata

What is your company's policy regarding the operation of endpoint protection for software developers?  I like Sophos Endpoint Protection, but the software developer environment is a headache. Our anti-threat policy has been so badly written that exceptions have been added every time a problem arises, and no one knows what the big picture is anymore.

*understands it's a contradiction* We want to know the policies that allow the software we are developing to operate unencumbered by motion detection, yet safely.

Microsoft currently has a compromise called Dev Drive. This is a very loose policy, but very comfortable from a developer's perspective. I would like to achieve the same thing with Sophos Endpoint Protection if possible.

ref. Set up a Dev Drive on Windows 11 | Microsoft Learn, https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/windows/dev-drive/

This is a total loophole in principle, but I would like to find a compromise, because if we try to strictly discipline software developers, the problems are likely to go underground. constructive discussion.

    Hello Yohei,

    Thank you for reaching out to the community forum. 

    Regarding this query that you've shared. Currently, our Endpoint protection does not provide this kind of feature. The Policy configuration is as straightforward as it’s, and whenever you need to exclude certain applications/Files, etc., a manual intervention is needed.

    I suggest you raise a feature request for this one with your account manager so our dev team can review it. though I can't guarantee that this Feature request will be applied, as we have standards that need to be followed. However, we do encourage this kind of suggestion in order to further improve our product.
