Protect your educational network with a long-term renewal of Sophos Network Protection, tailored for academic institutions. This 62-month renewal delivers ongoing, enterprise-grade security without interruption, combining advanced threat defense with centralized management and predictable budgeting. Designed to support schools, colleges, and universities, this Edu renewal keeps your network safeguarded against evolving cyber threats while you focus on teaching and learning. With 62 months of validation, administrators gain confidence that protection remains current, policies stay enforced, and users experience seamless access to critical resources.

• Comprehensive network protection that goes beyond a basic firewall. Sophos Network Protection combines a next-generation firewall, intrusion prevention, malware protection, and web filtering with application control to secure the entire campus network. The platform leverages synchronized security and real-time threat intelligence to defend endpoints, servers, and networks from known and emerging threats. With centralized visibility, IT teams can correlate events, enforce consistent policies, and respond quickly to incidents without sacrificing user productivity.

  In addition, you gain robust VPN capabilities for secure remote access, plus centralized policy enforcement that scales across departments, campuses, and BYOD environments. This holistic approach reduces security gaps and simplifies ongoing governance for IT administrators overseeing multi-site educational networks.

• Academic pricing paired with a 62-month renewal provides predictable budgeting and a lower total cost of ownership for educational institutions. The Edu license is structured to align with school procurement cycles and grant programs, helping you plan multi-year security investments with confidence. By locking in a long-term renewal, your campus avoids recurring renewal spikes and maintains continuous access to updates, threat intelligence, and product enhancements throughout the term.

  This renewal model also supports license portability within the education environment, making it easier to redeploy protections as classrooms, labs, or satellite campuses evolve. Institutions can consolidate renewals under a single contract framework, simplifying license management while maintaining rigorous protection for students, faculty, and administrative data.

• Easy deployment across the campus with a scalable, centralized management experience. Sophos Network Protection is designed to streamline rollout through a unified console, allowing admins to push consistent policies to networks, endpoints, and remote devices. Group-based policy templates, automated threat updates, and cloud-enabled management reduce manual configuration, enabling faster time-to-protection from day one of the renewal. The solution supports campus-wide segmentation, enabling safe guest networks, secure instructor dashboards, and protected administrative access.

  Whether your environment includes on-premises gateways, cloud-based resources, or hybrid architectures, the renewal supports scalable licensing that grows with your institution. This means you can extend protection to new lab spaces, research centers, or distributed campuses without rearchitecting security policies.

• Continuous protection with automatic updates and proactive threat intelligence. This renewal ensures your defense stays current against zero-day exploits and evolving attack techniques. Sophos delivers timely signature updates, behavior-based analytics, and real-time event alerts, helping IT teams stay ahead of threats while minimizing false positives. Automated remediation options and streamlined incident response workflows empower school security teams to act quickly, preserving learning continuity and minimizing disruption to students and staff.

  Additionally, the solution emphasizes secure web access, safe browsing, and policy-driven enforcement across devices and user groups. By maintaining a consistent security posture across the campus, administrators can uphold compliance standards and protect sensitive data across classrooms, libraries, and administrative systems.

• Flexible renewal tailored for education with support and renewal-management benefits. The Edu renewal includes access to Sophos support channels, administrative guidance, and renewal reminders to help IT teams stay on track with procurement timelines. License reassignment options and streamlined license management reduce administrative overhead, especially in dynamic school environments where staff, devices, and classrooms frequently change. This flexibility ensures you can adapt to institutional growth or program changes while preserving seamless protection for the school community.

  In short, the renewal is designed to align with how educational institutions operate—centrally managed, future-proof, and budget-friendly—so your network protection stays resilient year after year without unexpected interruptions.
