Sophos Web Protection Renewal — 61 Month Edu

In educational environments, students, teachers, and staff rely on safe, productive internet access. The Sophos Web Protection Renewal for 61 months is designed to keep that protection seamless and uninterrupted, with academic pricing that makes ongoing security affordable for schools, colleges, and universities. This renewal extends robust web filtering, real-time threat detection, and centralized policy management across campuses, ensuring that learning workflows stay secure without disrupting daily operations.

Academics and IT teams benefit from a long-term license that minimizes renewal frequency while maximizing protection. The 61-month term helps you budget more predictably across fiscal cycles and academic years, reducing the administrative overhead associated with frequent license updates. When paired with Academic pricing, this renewal supports widespread deployment across labs, classrooms, libraries, and staff devices, giving every user a safer browsing experience. The renewal integrates with the Sophos Central console, delivering a single pane of glass for policy configuration, device visibility, and compliance reporting—so administrators can focus on delivering top-tier education rather than wrestling with fragmented security tools.

• Comprehensive web protection for schools: Real-time web filtering, malware defense, and advanced threat intelligence from SophosLabs help prevent access to malicious sites, block phishing attempts, and stop drive‑by downloads. With policy-driven controls, you can tailor protection by user, group, or device, ensuring safe browsing while preserving legitimate research and learning activities.
• 61‑month renewal for continuity: A long-term license reduces renewal churn and maintains ongoing protection across a full academic term, budget cycles, and device lifecycles. This stability is especially valuable for institutions that operate large fleets of endpoints, labs, and BYOD programs.
• Education pricing designed for institutions: The renewal is priced to meet the tight budgets of schools and universities, enabling broader deployment across departments and campuses without compromising on security quality or feature depth.
• Centralized management and policy control: Manage web security from a single console (Sophos Central), with centralized policy creation, reporting, and alerting. IT teams can configure categories to block or allow, enforce safe search, and monitor user activity with enterprise-grade visibility across the entire campus network.
• Flexible deployment and governance: Policies can be granularly applied by user, group, or device, including time-based access, exception workflows, and compliance-ready logs. The renewal supports scalable deployment from small classrooms to large-scale campus environments while meeting auditing and FERPA/ COPPA considerations as applicable.
