sophos safeguard file based encrytion

We are trying out  Sohos safegurad encrptyion for encrpyting files in our shares.

But we are facing a issue where files are not automatically encrypted.

This is the situtation we have two machines A nd B

A is a windows 7 machine with sophos safeguard client installed on it .

B is a windows 2012 machine which has network shares and has no sophos safeguard client installed on it.

when user copies files from machines A to the network share files are automatically encrypted.

But when files are copied from machine B into the share the files are not automatically encrypted.

when i check the encrytion state it says file is not encrypted however there is a rule defined for it.

  • Hi,

    The files will be encrypted and decrypted at the client side. That way if anyone is monitoring the connection they wont recieve any unencrypted data.

    If the Windows 2012 machine does not have the client installed it wont be able to read the encrypted files stored in the share, nor will any files copied to the location be encrypted.

    Hopfully this helps!
