The challenge \u2013 why Sophos Workspace Protection?<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe traditional network perimeter has been disappearing in recent years, with applications, data, and users everywhere. This shift has made protecting remote and hybrid workers a significant challenge for IT teams.<\/p>\n
In response, cloud-delivered network security solutions like Secure Web Gateways (SWG), Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), and cloud firewalls \u2013 often collectively known as SASE or SSE solutions \u2013 have emerged to try to solve this issue. However, these solutions come with their own set of challenges related to back-hauling and encrypted traffic, latency, and cost effectiveness that have made them unworkable options for many smaller and mid-sized organizations.<\/p>\n
At the same time, many organizations are grappling with both shadow IT and the need to safely adopt and integrate generative AI technology and services into their workflows without exposing proprietary information or sensitive data. There\u2019s been no easy way to solve these issues, particularly with a remote or hybrid workforce.<\/p>\n
Most organizations have been waiting for a better way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A better solution: Sophos Workspace Protection<\/strong><\/h2>\nSophos Workspace Protection provides a unique and elegant solution to the challenge of protecting remote and hybrid workers. It integrates all the network security components needed to secure apps, data, workers, and guests \u2013 wherever they are \u2013 into a single easy-to-use and familiar app: a hardened Chromium browser.<\/p>\n
Sophos Workspace Protection includes:<\/p>\n
\n- Sophos Protected Browser<\/strong> is a new, secure Chromium web browser powered by Island.io that provides several security features, including control over app usage, local data controls, and web filtering, that is hardened against exploits and attacks. It also integrates Sophos ZTNA for access to web apps and rich SSH and RDP support.<\/li>\n
- Sophos ZTNA<\/strong> is now integrated into Sophos Protected Browser and can still be used agentless or with a thin agent as before. It also works with Sophos Endpoint to provide device posture assessment and Synchronized Security Heartbeat<\/a> for defining device health as part of access policies. Existing Sophos ZTNA customers will automatically get access to the full Sophos Workspace Protection bundle and all the added benefits it provides.<\/li>\n
- Sophos DNS Protection for Endpoints<\/strong> provides an additional layer of web protection across all apps, ports, and protocols on your remote Windows devices, with added visibility and security, and privacy with DNS over HTTPS.<\/li>\n
- Email Monitoring System <\/strong>\u2013 a Sophos email solution that deploys alongside Google or Microsoft email solutions to monitor email traffic and provide additional insights, analysis, and detections of unwanted or malicious email, including phishing attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
