How to install Sophos Web Protection

Installing or renewing Sophos Web Protection is designed to be straightforward for IT teams already using Sophos Central. The renewal extends your existing Web Protection license, so there is typically no need to deploy new agents if you are already protected. Below is a practical, step-by-step approach to activate and optimize the renewal across your organization:

• Confirm renewal and access: Sign in to your Sophos Central administrator account and verify that the 63-month renewal is active on the Web Protection product. Review expiry dates, seat counts, and policy templates to ensure everything aligns with your current security posture.
• Assign licenses to devices or users: If your environment uses per-seat licensing, allocate the renewal to the appropriate users or devices within Sophos Central to guarantee uninterrupted coverage for the next 63 months.
• Update and synchronize policies: Synchronize web protection policies across endpoints, mobile devices, and browsers. Confirm that URL filtering categories, safe browsing rules, and exception policies reflect your current governance requirements and compliance standards.
• Configure centralized controls: Establish or refine gateway protection settings, web filtering policies, and threat protection configurations to ensure consistent enforcement across your organization, regardless of location.
• Monitor and validate protection: Use the Sophos Central dashboard to monitor protection status, analyze block events, and review policy performance. Validate that endpoints report correctly and that threat feeds update as expected.
• Plan for ongoing maintenance: Schedule renewal reminders, automated reports, and security analytics to keep administrators informed and prepared for future upgrades or adjustments to your protection strategy.
