Malicious Traffic detection

Question

I am planning to enable MTD across the organization and have few questions since we are not using web control of Sophos endpoint security and control as we have other stuff for it. 
 Web control needed to enable MTD? or it's independent? 
 Where we can see download reputations in console? is it visible after enabling MTD?

 MTD is independent of Web Control. Web Control is part of the Sophos Anti-Virus component. MTD has it's own MSI and a separate component. 
 MTD and Download Reputation are reasonably new. What version of Enterprise Console are you running? It could be you need to update SEC. The latest version of SEC is 4.5.1.
