I want to discuss the experience with Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service products. I have familiarity with the service in general, but I do not have specific experience with Sophos. Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service on endpoint security is a standalone solution installed on the PC that can be left to customers to manage themselves. When it comes to as a service, this is something different where we subscribe to the service from the provider and then let them handle the administration of the security on the customer's end. We do not have that service ourselves, but we resell and provide bundled solutions. This type of software allows customers with IT teams to handle the deployment themselves. Endpoint security is not complicated when it comes to deployment, and the IT team can do it on their own. The issue is that I am mentioning the need for more education because customers are using the solution, but I do not think they are maximizing the use or the functionalities of the solution.
Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service is an on-premise solution. This is the first implementation of Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service with Citrix, and otherwise we are going with the Sophos XDR solution instead of a third party, as we are currently using Trend Micro, which is not working properly with Sophos. The thin client is not compatible with the Sophos firewall, and we found the fault in the Sophos solution. They have now released a light version of the XDR, and that type of activity is what we are coordinating in the backend.
We work with Sophos XG Firewall including Sophos Agent for Servers. Most of my customers are maintaining developer environments and want to secure their developer environments by preventing uploading and use of phishing websites and outbound emails to public email services like Hotmail and Gmail. They want to secure their environment to block users from sending emails to public email addresses and prevent uploads with this security measure.
I spent a couple of hours deploying Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service. Since we were already working on several firewall technologies and the platform is user friendly, I managed to complete the implementation quickly. I took part in the deployment with my team, as I was performing implementation work in earlier days.

Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service serves as our main solution to maintain a 24/7/365 security operations center that oversees our networks, computers, and servers, ensuring that if a breach occurs, the team will remedy it and eradicate the intruder. A specific example of how Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service helped my team occurred three weeks ago when one of our employees clicked on a phishing link. Sophos was able to stop the employee, halt the attack, reset the user password, block all activity, and effectively counteract the situation due to their integration with M365.

Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service is our main solution to ensure secure operations as we build and connect more clients successfully, while also addressing our specific requirements. We have been using Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service, which provides many functionalities, including a taskbar that shows resource consumption from PCs, leading to good customer feedback. When Sophos resources are low, customers purchase more, recognizing it as a useful product. We use mobile device management (MDM) services, and customer feedback indicates that it works very well for their custom work apps, benefiting both us and them. Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service is deployed in our organization for cloud security purposes. Currently, we are not utilizing any specific cloud provider; instead, we are using Sophos endpoint security.
