Sophos Endpoint Security and Control
17 Monitoring endpoint security
Once Sophos Endpoint Security and Control is installed on endpoints, you manage groups, policies and other settings via Sophos Enterprise Console, which provides complete status reporting of endpoints. For more details, see the Sophos Enterprise Console Help and Policy Setup guide.
Most MSPs will use their existing RMM system for routine status monitoring, and only use Sophos
Enterprise Console for group/policy configuration, and in the event of a security problem, for detailed endpoint status analysis. Your RMM system is used as the primary method for management and monitoring of all endpoint software (not just Sophos Endpoint Security and
Control).
This section explains how to use the SetData script to provide the most important endpoint status information to your RMM system.
The diagram below shows how the RMM system uses the SetData script to know endpoint status.
