1 day ago  Sophos Central, a cloud-native management platform, integrates Sophos’ entire portfolio of next-generation products, including the Intercept X endpoint solution and the XG next-generation firewall, into a single “synchronized security” system accessible through a set of APIs. Sophos has been driving a transition to next-generation. The information about different Sophos Central management roles can be found in the Sophos Central Admin User assistance document. To know how to assign or remove administration roles to or from a user, follow the steps indicated here. © 1997 - 2019 Sophos Ltd. All rights reserved. Mobile Management Sophos Home’s mobile app and cloud dashboard is easy to use. Add more computers, perform remote scans, receive alerts, and modify security settings remotely, whenever you.

Note If an option is locked, global settings have been applied by your partner or Enterprise administrator.

You can extend the website filtering provided by Sophos Central. For more information on how Sophos filters websites see Sophos Web Security and Control Test Site.

Go to Overview > Global Settings > Website Management.

On the Website Management page, you can use a website list to:

  • Control websites not in one of the Sophos categories.
  • Tag websites to put them in groups, which are like custom categories. You can then use policies to control these websites for certain users.
  • Override the Sophos category for a site. This changes that site’s category for all your users.
Note If you think Sophos has put a website in the wrong category, you can ask us to change it. To do this, see Open a Support Case. We suggest you try this instead of overriding the category.

    Entries in the website list can be single URLs, full domains, TLDs, IP addresses, CIDR ranges, or even top level domains.

  3. Select Enable Category Override if you want to associate a specific category with the sites you have entered. Then select a Category.
  4. Select Enable Tags to associate a tag with the sites you have entered. Then type a tag name.

    It can be helpful to include information about tags you have created and categories you have overridden for troubleshooting policy issues in the future.

  6. Click Save.
