Sophos Endpoint protection no firewall service?

Ron Bishop

Does the Sohops endpoint protection client not include a firewall service? Is this a separate product?

Do I need to enable Windows Firewall? If so, are there any special settings I need to enable in Windows firewall?

 

Thanks

    Hello Ron Bishop,

    you didn't say which product line. Firewall (SCF) is available with the on-premise managed SESC but not with Central or Home.

    Sorry. It is Central. 

    We went with this option to reduce our hardware footprint in house. 

    So windows firewall needs to be enabled I take it.

    Hello Ron Bishop,

    never mind!
    I think I've heard rumors that there are plans to add the ability to manage the Windows firewall. Seems that other than the adaption to Windows 8+ development for SCF has been stopped.

    Hi ,

     

    Although marked as such, I don't think this question has been answered yet...

     

    We've just switched from another AV solution which provided each user with a local firewall - but now we have deployed Sophos Endpoint with Central, do we need to enable the Windows Firewall for our users, or is Endpoint providing it?

     

    Windows on the client PCs is just reporting the Network Firewall is off, whereas it used to show my old AV was running it - so are we covered?

     

    Thanks
