Sophos Network Protection Renewal — 61-Month License

Introducing the Sophos Network Protection Renewal, the essential license extension that keeps your network defenses active and effective for the next 61 months. This renewal is designed for organizations that rely on robust, continuously updated security without the disruption of frequent license gaps. With 61 months of protection, you gain peace of mind, stable budgeting, and a streamlined path to maintaining a resilient network infrastructure. The renewal ensures that the powerful features of Sophos Network Protection stay current, enabling your security teams to focus on proactive defense rather than license administration. Whether you manage a small office, a multi-site enterprise, or a distributed environment, this renewal aligns with your commitment to sustained protection, compliance, and incident readiness.

• 61-month protection cycle: Lock in a long-term license so your network remains safeguarded without periodic renewal disruptions. This extended term supports predictable budgeting and continuous security coverage across your entire network perimeter, endpoints, and remote locations. The renewal helps prevent gaps in threat intelligence, policy enforcement, and signature updates, ensuring a constant defense posture.
• Unified security approach: Preserve the comprehensive protections offered by Sophos Network Protection, including firewall enforcement, intrusion prevention, malware defense, and web/application controls. With renewal, your security baseline remains intact, allowing you to enforce consistent policies across all sites and devices while maintaining centralized visibility and control.
• Streamlined renewal workflow: Simplify license management with a single renewal event that minimizes administrative overhead. Renewal optimizes vendor communications, portal access, and renewal status tracking so your security team spends less time on procurement and more on defense tasks such as monitoring, reporting, and incident response.
• Advanced threat protection continuity: Maintain access to ongoing threat intelligence, signature updates, and policy improvements that adapt to evolving cyber risks. Renewal ensures you continue to receive the latest protection layers, enabling proactive blocking of malware, exploits, ransomware, and zero-day threats as they emerge.

Renewal keeps your licensing aligned with growing networks, ensuring protection remains consistent even as your infrastructure evolves.
