Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a 'legacy platform' for this product?
Legacy platforms typically refer to older operating systems such as Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, or similar versions that may no longer receive mainstream support from the OS vendor but are still critical for specific business functions.
Can this protect endpoints that are not connected to the internet?
While Sophos Endpoint Protection benefits greatly from cloud-connected threat intelligence, it is designed to provide robust protection even for air-gapped or intermittently connected systems through local signature updates and behavioral analysis.
