SYSTEMS PANEL

View the real-time status of your system performance, services, connections, and other system parameters. The panel also provides helpful system and network tools you can use for troubleshooting purposes such as ping, traceroute, packet capture, command-line access, and much more.

REPORTS

This panel displays the top five reports that may have data of interest or that require action based on automatic background analysis. Examples include high-risk applications, objectionable websites, web users, intrusion attacks, web server attacks, and more.

TRAFFIC INSIGHT

This provides an overview of traffic processed in the last 24 hours, including web activity, allowed and blocked apps, and web categories, as well as network attacks.

NAVIGATION

The menus and navigation stay out of your way while still providing quick access to all areas of the system. In fact, you’re never more than three clicks from anywhere.

SECURITY HEARTBEAT

The Sophos Security Heartbeat™ indicates the health status of all your Sophos Central managed endpoints.

ADVANCED THREAT PROTECTION

This feature provides an immediate indication of the presence of advanced threats on your network—either bot-net or command-and-control (C&C) traffic that has been blocked.

USER THREAT QUOTIENT

Unique to Sophos, User Threat Quotient (UTQ) is an indication of a user’s risk level based on recent web and advanced threat activity.

ACTIVE POLICIES

The Active Policies panel right on the control center indicates exactly how many policies you have of each type and how many are unused, disabled, changed, and recently added.

CONNECTIONS

The connections widget shows the status of various connected devices and users including Remote Ethernet Device (RED) VPN connections, pending and active wireless access points, remote SSL VPN connections, and the current live users count.

MESSAGES

The messages panel displays important system notices, warnings, and alerts with blue, yellow, and red icons, respectively.
