• Unified risk visibility across endpoints and servers: Experience a holistic view of your security posture with a single pane of glass in Sophos Central. The Managed Risk engine aggregates telemetry from endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads to deliver a comprehensive risk score, historical trends, and domain-specific insights. This consolidated perspective helps security teams identify blind spots, align teams around shared priorities, and accelerate remediation cycles. By translating disparate signals into intuitive dashboards, you gain clarity on what to fix first and why, enabling more effective resource allocation and faster risk reduction across a large estate.
• Prioritized remediation and actionable guidance: The platform does not merely highlight vulnerabilities; it translates findings into prioritized, actionable tasks. Receive precise remediation steps, including patching recommendations, configuration hardening, access control improvements, and policy adjustments tailored to your risk tolerance. This targeted approach ensures your security program achieves measurable progress without overwhelming IT teams, reducing mean time to remediation (MTTR) and preventing alert fatigue in high-volume environments.
• Comprehensive reporting and compliance readiness: Built for governance and audits, Sophos Central Managed Risk provides rich reporting capabilities. Generate executive summaries for leadership, technical lineage reports for security teams, and compliance-focused documents that align with common regulatory frameworks. Customizable risk metrics, historical trend data, and exportable reports empower you to demonstrate continuous improvement, support remediation tracking, and maintain readiness for external assessments and internal audits alike.
• Cloud-based management with scalable licensing: Designed for growing organizations, the 56-month license accommodates 1000–1999 users and servers, offering scalability without the burden of on-prem infrastructure. Cloud delivery ensures automatic updates, ongoing risk intelligence, and centralized access from anywhere with an internet connection. This model reduces maintenance overhead, simplifies license management, and provides consistent protection across distributed workforce environments while preserving the flexibility to expand as your business scales.
• Easy deployment and seamless integration with Sophos Central: If you already rely on Sophos Central, Managed Risk integrates natively with your existing security stack. Benefit from cross-product risk correlation, centralized policy management, and streamlined governance under a single console. The license enables rapid activation, straightforward policy rollout, and ongoing coordination with other Sophos security products, helping ensure your security controls work together to minimize risk and maximize protection across endpoints and servers.
