Manage all your security on a single platform

Sophos Central is a scalable management platform which gives you a single pane
of glass for all of your cloud-managed security solutions. Using Sophos Central, you
can manage Sophos Wireless on its own, or alongside your Endpoint, Mobile, Email,
Encryption and Server Protection.

Superior visibility into wireless health

All the key information about the health of your wireless networks and connecting
clients is directly at your fingertips. With visibility into potential threats, such as
rogue APs, insight into clients with compliance or connectivity issues and advanced
diagnostics, identifying and troubleshooting issues is quick and easy.

Simple deployment and administration

Using the step-by-step guidance in our on-boarding wizard, creating networks,
registering one or more access points, and adding sites is child’s play. Our solution
is built to be simple to use, even for non-wireless experts, but that doesn’t mean you
forfeit functionality. Schedule firmware upgrades to keep your network up to date and
benefit from new features and enhancements in every release.

Intelligence connected with Security Heartbeat™

When using our Security Heartbeat™ enabled APX Series access points, you can
monitor the health status of any Sophos Central-managed endpoint or mobile device
and so automatically restrict web access on trusted Wi-Fi networks. Users with serious
compliance issues see a splash screen to alert them to their walled garden status but
receive full connectivity again, once health is restored.

Security enhanced for your trusted Wi-Fi networks

Our Enhanced Rogue AP Detection classifies neighboring Wi-Fi networks to identify
threats and prevent attempts to infiltrate an organization via Wi-Fi.

Additionally, you can keep your networks secure by providing controlled internet
access and hotspots for visitors, contractors, and other guests on your network. Use
enterprise-grade backend authentication for a seamless user experience.

Multi-site management and cloud scalability

Whether you have just one growing network, or multiple sites, extending your Wi-Fi is
as simple as adding an additional access point.
