Sophos Central Policy Templates for multiple tenants (Kind of Policy Repository)

Hello everyone,

 

we are managing multiple tenants (Intercept X) via Sophos Central. We have the option to create several "Base Policies" and assign them to our tenants. So far so good.

 

One thing i am missing is the possibility to create global policy templates (NOT base policies !) that can be picked by tenants for specific computer or user groups.

For example, we want to create the following global Threat Protection policies in our central admin interface:

- Laptop Policy

- Desktop Policy

- Domain Controller Policy

- Terminalserver Policy

etc.

Each policy contains best practises and empirical proven settings for a certain type of computer. As you will agree, each of these computer types has slightly different antivirus requirements.

 

Now, a tenant can create a Computer Group in his personal admin interface. For example, a Computer Group containing all his terminal servers. Then, he can assign the global "Terminalserver Policy" to this group.

 

At the Moment, every tenant has to create his own terminal server Policy, which makes it difficult to apply best practices to all of our tenants with one mouse click.

 

Has anybody an idea ?

 

Thank you,

Bodo

  • Hi Bodo,

    You can create separate global templates for computers and servers but this won't differentiate from Laptop/Desktops or Domain Controllers/Terminal Servers.

    I think this is a good feature request and is what Global Templates should be going forward.

  • This should definitely be what they are striving for.  I am surprise it does not already exist, applying policies should be straight forward, adding an option to configure them more should really just be a quick fix for Sophos.
