Sophos Endpoint Agent XDR & Siemens WinCC V7.x

Hi community,

Sophos Central has not been approved by Siemens WinCC V7.x !
I am forced to install Sophos Endpoint Agent on such Servers anyway.

What are the recommended global exclusions from Sophos for such Servers,
and above all which exclusion type ?

Some Servers lose the WinCC license (because of a timeout ?), this is fatal for our production!

Can anybody help me ?

Best ragrds,
Thomas

  • In this case, you will need to populate the following exclusion of the type "File or Folder (Windows)"
    - C:\AX NF ZZ\

    Ensure that you include the trailing back-slash as this will indicate that you wish to exclude a folder and not just a file by the name "AX NF ZZ". 

    In the "Active For" drop-down menu, selecting "Real-time only" will ensure that Sophos does not scan the file/folder prior to your system accessing it. The files will still be touched briefly to check the path, however, the scan operation will be omitted for those files. 

    You can find much more information on exclusions at the following documentation link, you'll also find a video explaining exclusions.
