How to install Sophos Email Protection

Installing or renewing Sophos Email Protection in a government environment is designed to minimize downtime and integrate smoothly with existing security operations. Begin by coordinating with your procurement and IT teams to confirm the renewal terms and delivery timelines associated with the 63-month government license.

Step 1: Review your current deployment model and verify that your mail flow route remains compatible with Sophos Email Protection. If you use cloud-based mail, confirm the cloud integration settings and user access policies. For on-premises deployment, ensure connectors and gateways are online and properly licensed for continued operation.

Step 2: Access the renewal portal or your authorized distributor portal to initiate license activation. If required, gather your current license identifiers (such as your government-approved SKU or account IDs) to ensure a seamless transition. Confirm the renewal start date to avoid any gaps in protection.

Step 3: Configure or update security policies as needed to align with any new governance or regulatory requirements. Review anti-spam, anti-phishing, encryption, and data handling rules. Ensure reporting and auditing capabilities meet your agency’s compliance needs, and confirm that event logs are being captured for ongoing oversight.

Step 4: Validate production readiness by running a controlled test on a subset of mail flows. Monitor for any changes in mail deliverability or false positives, and adjust filtering rules accordingly. Once validated, roll out the renewal changes across the organization, ensuring all users and mail streams receive continued protection without interruption.

If you encounter deployment or activation questions, consult your designated government account representative or your authorized Sophos partner. The renewal is designed to integrate with existing security operations centers, security information and event management (SIEM) workflows, and incident response playbooks—facilitating a smooth transition without impacting day-to-day email communications.
