Free endpoint assessment test from Sophos

Sophos (published 14/05/2008)
 

Test service from Sophos enables users to assess whether their endpoints are up to date with the correct service packs and patches.


Out-of-date service packs, missing patches and inactive firewalls all render your endpoints vulnerable to malware attacks, making them a real security risk to your organisation.

Assessing whether your computers have up-to-date protection has been a difficult and time-consuming task – until now.

With the new free Sophos Endpoint Assessment Test you can quickly see if your endpoints are properly protected. In a single scan, you can see whether:.

* Your Microsoft service pack is the current one for your operating system.
* Your Microsoft patches are all up-to-date.
* Anti-virus protection is installed, running and current.
* A personal firewall is installed and running.

Once you know the true picture, you can take immediate steps to fix any vulnerabilities.

Sophos NAC is an easy-to-deploy software-based solution for endpoint assessment and control. It enables you to quickly check that your endpoints are secure and also control who and what is connecting to your network.

Sophos NAC is included at no additional cost in Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 8.0, giving you fundamental control of the security status of managed and unmanaged computers.

For greater control, Sophos NAC Advanced provides more sophisticated policy definitions, and advanced reporting capabilities.
