This renewal ensures your school's inboxes stay safeguarded against the latest threats while keeping operating costs predictable for IT teams and administrators.

With this renewal, you gain continuous access to Sophos’ proven threat intelligence, streamlined management, and robust protections that help educators focus on learning, not security concerns.

• Enduring protection with a 63-month academic renewal: This extended license locks in coverage for nearly five and a half years, reducing renewal complexity and budget volatility for educational institutions. By extending the license term, you minimize gaps in protection and ensure that security policies, threat intelligence, and software updates stay consistently active. The academic renewal structure is crafted to fit school procurement cycles, helping IT teams forecast expenses with confidence while delivering reliable, long-term security for faculty, staff, and students. This extended window also means fewer administrative touchpoints over time, freeing up valuable resources for other critical campus initiatives.
• Comprehensive email security you can trust: Sophos Email Protection delivers multi-layered defense against phishing, business email compromise, malware, and spam. It combines real-time threat detection with behavior-based analytics to identify emerging attack patterns and zero-day exploits. In addition to inbound protections, outbound filtering helps prevent data exfiltration and ensures compliance with campus policies. The solution often includes features such as sandbox analysis, URL rewriting, and attachment controls, giving administrators granular control over what enters and leaves the campus network. For schools handling sensitive student data, encryption options and DLP (data loss prevention) capabilities further reinforce compliance and privacy.
• Policy-driven controls for campus governance and compliance: The platform centralizes policy management through an intuitive admin console, allowing IT teams to enforce role-based access, retention settings, and encryption rules across the university, college, or school district. With granular policies, you can tailor protections by department, user group, or campus site, ensuring flexible yet consistent security postures. This level of control supports compliance with education sector standards and data privacy requirements, while simplifying audits and reporting with clear visibility into threat activity, user behavior, and incident response history.
• Academic pricing with clear budgeting advantages: This renewal is crafted to deliver substantial value to education customers. By choosing academic pricing, institutions benefit from favorable licensing terms that align with education budgets, often including favorable renewal terms, scalable user counts, and simplified purchase processes. The cost efficiency of a long-duration renewal helps IT leaders plan fiscal year spending, reduce procurement friction, and allocate resources toward other essential campus technology initiatives without compromising security posture.
• Seamless deployment, updates, and ongoing support: Sophos Email Protection is designed for quick deployment and minimal disruption to campus workflows. With automatic threat intelligence updates and regular product enhancements, your defenses stay current against evolving threats. The renewal typically includes access to technical support and resources aligned with academic licenses, ensuring administrators have guidance and assistance when configuring policies, integrating with existing mail infrastructure, or responding to security events. This combination of ease of use, continuous updates, and dependable support makes it a practical choice for busy school IT environments.
