How to Install Sophos Email Protection

As a renewal license, installation steps focus on reactivating or extending your existing Sophos Email Protection configuration rather than deploying a fresh environment. Here are practical steps you can follow to ensure a smooth renewal activation and continued protection:

• Step 1: Sign in to your Sophos Central account or the partner portal used for license management. Ensure you have administrative privileges to modify subscriptions and domain assignments.
• Step 2: Locate your existing Sophos Email Protection renewal entry under Subscriptions or Licenses. Verify the renewal term is set to 61 months and confirm the correct customer account and domains tied to the license.
• Step 3: Apply the renewal license key or renewal entitlement to the appropriate domains or tenants. This action extends the license duration and ensures that protection features remain active without interruption.
• Step 4: Review and update policy configurations if needed. Check anti-spam, anti-phishing, URL filtering, DLP, and encryption policies to confirm they align with current security requirements and incident response processes.
• Step 5: Validate protection status and run a quick test on inbound and outbound routes. Use test messages to verify that policies are enforcing correctly and that legitimate communications aren’t being inadvertently blocked.
• Step 6: Confirm activation with your IT security team and notify stakeholders about the renewal completion. If you changed domains, update any integration points or mail flow rules accordingly.
• Step 7: Monitor dashboards and reports in Sophos Central to track threat activity, false positives, and policy effectiveness. Establish a cadence for reviewing protection metrics and updating controls as needed.
