Sophos Auto Update accesses many domains

Willum

Why does the Sophos Auto Update access so many domains outside of sophos.com?

I recently installed Little Snitch, which is a firewall that allows the blocking of individual outgoing connections.  I was surprised to find that Sophos Auto Update was accessing domains other than sophos.com....

    Actually, I see you are correct - it is all from CDNs. That is disappointing, as it means that Snitch gives no protection from apps like Sophos that use a CDN. But as Sophos AV is a priviledged process, if it gets hijacked, I guess I'm done for anyway, whatever Snitch does ;-)
