Sophos Webserver Protection - Renewal - 61 Month Protection

Ensure your web infrastructure remains shielded from evolving cyber threats with this 61-month renewal of Sophos Webserver Protection. Designed for busy IT environments, this renewal license extends active protection, keeps threat intelligence up to date, and preserves centralized control over web server security policies. Whether you manage on-premises Windows or Linux web servers, this renewal delivers continuous defense against malware, zero-day exploits, and web-based attacks while minimizing impact on performance. By choosing a renewal, you simplify procurement, maintain compatibility with existing configurations, and ensure uninterrupted access to security updates, expert support, and policy management capabilities.

• Comprehensive web server security — Sophos Webserver Protection provides layered defense for internet-facing and internal web servers. It scans for malware, blocks exploit kits, detects suspicious payloads, and prevents common attack vectors such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Real-time monitoring, heuristic analysis, and signature-based detection work together to identify known threats and evolving zero-days. The Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules are configurable to protect your applications without hindering legitimate traffic, while automated updates keep protection aligned with the latest threat intelligence. This coverage ensures safer web services, improved uptime, and reduced incident response time for your IT team.
• 61 months of renewal coverage — This extended license provides nearly five years of continuous protection for your web servers, reducing renewal frequency and simplifying budgeting. With a long-term renewal, your security posture remains stable and predictable even as threat landscapes shift. You’ll receive automatic software and threat intelligence updates during the entire term, so your servers stay protected against emerging exploits, malware families, and phishing schemes targeting web applications. The renewal also helps you maintain consistent policy enforcement across servers, avoiding gaps that often occur with shorter-term licenses and re-deployments. This extended term fosters strategic planning and reduces administrative overhead for security teams.
• Lightweight deployment and seamless integration — Sophos Webserver Protection is designed to fit into existing environments with minimal disruption. It supports popular server platforms, integrates with your current logging and monitoring tools, and leverages efficient resource usage to minimize CPU and memory impact. The solution can be deployed in both physical and virtualized environments, and it supports centralized policy distribution to scale across multiple hosts. With low onboarding friction, IT teams can realize faster protection without re-architecting their web infrastructure, ensuring a smoother path from purchase to production protection. The result is reliable security that scales with your growing web footprint.
• Centralized management and detailed reporting — manage licenses, policies, and updates from a single console. The intuitive dashboard provides visibility into protection status, threat events, and compliance posture across all protected web servers. You can tailor alerts, schedules, and reporting to your organization’s needs, export audit trails for governance purposes, and demonstrate PCI DSS or other regulatory alignment. This centralized approach reduces operational overhead, accelerates incident response, and enables consistent enforcement of security controls across all web services. Renewal status, coverage, and renewal reminders are clearly visible, helping you plan ahead and avoid gaps in protection.
• Regular threat intelligence updates and support — The renewal includes ongoing access to Sophos threat intelligence feeds, signature updates, and malware heuristics. Automatic updates keep your protection current against new attack techniques, vulnerable plugins, and emerging phishing campaigns that target web servers. If you encounter issues during renewal, you’ll have access to Sophos support for guidance, troubleshooting, and best-practice configurations. The combination of timely updates and responsive support helps you minimize dwell time of threats, reduce risk exposure, and maintain a strong security posture with minimal manual intervention. This ensures your defense stays sharp in a dynamic threat landscape.
