Sophos InterceptX running on a server

Sophos needs to update theire Database. I was looking around for new informations and found 3 different sources on theire page with different informations about Intercept X for Servers.

In the German specs. Cyrptoguard is only available for Central Server Protection Advanced

In the english specs. Cryptoguard is availabe for Central Server Protection Advanced and as eXploit Prevention for all On Premiseversions

And in a third official Document i can only find eXploit Prevention for on premise and no Informationsabout the Central Version.

That is confusing me.

Hello Ecrook,

what do you call a Sophos Official Document [:P] and which Database are you referring to? [:)]
Seriously, it is hard (and always has been, guess that's in Sophos' DNA and note: There might be translations when documents are originally written but later updates are often only in English - and maybe Japanese but I can't tell and it won't help anyway [;)]) to get concise, comprehensive and consistent information - especially when new features and products are added as a result of an acquisition. The various names and monikers add to the confusion.

As far as I can tell (in principle what you've already found):

• you'll find eXploit Prevention only in conjunction with on-premise SEC
• Intercept X is still also a stand-alone product, information (tech specs et al.) is perhaps deliberately vague (from the datasheet: supports Windows 7 and above) and outdated or not quite correct (same source: can run alongside [...] Endpoint [...] when managed by Sophos Central)
• CryptoGuard (yet another name) for servers is available in Central since the start of this month

Unfortunately even resellers or partners might not be up-to-date. But sorry, I digress - what was your question?

Hi Christian

what do you call a Sophos Official Document and whichDatabase are you referring to? 

These are the different factsheets.

https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/factsheets/sophos-server-protection-dsna.pdf?la=en

https://www.sophos.com/de-de/medialibrary/PDFs/factsheets/sophos-server-protection-dsna.pdf?la=de-DE

And the third Document is a Price calcualtor only available for Partners. But i think this is outdated because it´s from mid february

• CryptoGuard (yet another name) for servers is available in Central since the start of this month

Cryptoguard isn´t another name. It´s only a Module inside Intercept X. And this is also confusing me. Why is the  eXploit Prevention ( Intercept X without Root Cause Analysis) available for on premise and only Cryptoguard for Central?

Unfortunately even resellers or partners might not be up-to-date

That is the problem. The only information we got as a partner was that eXploit prevention is now available for on premise.  I think i will contact our Partnermanager to clarify the problems. Maybe he can bring light into the darkness :D.

Hello Ecrook,

Cryptoguard [is] only a Module
right. With another name I meant another name that comes into play (and thus adds to the confusion).

Why is the eXploit Prevention available for on premise
SESC (or SEC licensing) doesn't differentiate between server and non-server OS. IIRC initially the license permitted up to 10% servers, later 25%, and now there's no distinction (except for Japan) - but not all components run on servers (e.g. the Sophos Client Firewall).

light into the darkness
wouldn't be the first time, that licensing and prices change after a few weeks or months.
