You could use multiple consoles to manage your networking and security. But all you need is one.
Sophos Central provides a single cloud platform to manage your Wi-Fi alongside your firewalls, switches, endpoint and server security, email protection, and more.
One platform.
With our single-platform approach, your Wi-Fi is always just one click away from your other Sophos solutions.
Two ways to manage.
Remotely manage your full Wi-Fi estate in Sophos Central or configure individual AP settings in the local user interface.
Three steps to connect.
Our simple setup and configuration mean your wireless networks will be up and running in no time.
Scalable, Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi
Growing your network, one access point at a time.
Hardware resources can limit on-premises, controller-based solutions. With Sophos Wireless, extending your network is as simple as adding another access point.
Active Threat Response
Isolate compromised hosts at the access layer.
In combination with Sophos MDR, Sophos XDR, and even third-party security solutions, Sophos Active Threat Response triggers an automatic response to isolate compromised hosts across all Sophos AP6 Series access points and Sophos switches on your network. This approach prevents lateral movement and facilitates a faster time to remediation at the all-important access layer.
For customers using Sophos Network Detection and Response (NDR), Active Threat Response adds a response action to detections from deep within the network.
How it works
API-Triggered Threat Feed
A threat feed is sent with the MAC addresses of any devices that are potentially compromised.
Distributed on the Network
The feed updates all AP6 access points and Sophos switches managed in the same Sophos Central account.
Automatic Isolation
The compromised devices no longer have access and are isolated across the network.
Benefits
- Isolates compromised wired, wireless, managed, and unmanaged hosts
- Prevents lateral movement and buys you time for remediation
- Detections can originate from multiple sources (Sophos or third-party solutions)
Active Threat Response is available via Sophos Central for Sophos Wireless (AP6 Series only), Sophos Switch, and Sophos Firewall.
While a Sophos Firewall is not a prerequisite for Active Threat Response with Sophos Wireless, customers who also own a Sophos Firewall benefit from different response actions and enhanced automation, resulting in faster time to remediation at every network layer.
Management Options
Central Management
Sophos Central puts on-site or remote setup, management, and configuration of all your wireless networks and access points just a click away from your other Sophos security solutions and services.
There’s no more switching between consoles, so you can use your time more efficiently and have full visibility at a glance.
AP6 requires a Support and Services subscription. Learn more.
Local Management
The local user interface offers a simple way to log into an individual AP6 when you’re on site. It’s a great way to get system information or change settings if you prefer to use on-premises access.
This management option is ideal if you don’t yet have an AP6 Support and Services subscription or need basic access to a single access point.
Local management is included in your AP6 purchase; central management is recommended. Learn more.
