Sophos InterceptX running on a server

Question

We recently bought Sophos InterceptX and have installed it on all of the clients to protect them from threats. My question is this server is a file server and I don't know how the program would work on the server as it is hosting all of the files. Does anyone have any experience in this situation. The server is Microsoft Server 2012.

Hello Stephen Hogan , 
 Intercept X isn't your "classic" AV that scans files (with potential active content) but monitors activity (process behaviour, network traffic destinations, writes to files) on the machine. Thus local and remote have no real meaning here, it'd only apply to on-access scanning. Arguably it's redundant (but don't forget that remote might also be any other - potentially unprotected - machine remote storage).

It depends which kind of license do you have and which kind of protection by Interecept X do you want. 
 Currently it is available the protection antiransomware (cryptoguard) if you use Cloud management and buy Central Server Protection Advanced. 
 For on Premise managed Sophos enterprise Console, antiransomware protection is availaible for Server Protection Enteprise and there is an Add-on for 
 Server Protection For Virtualization and Windows.
