Sophos Central server protection: real time scanning

Hello, we are evaluating sophos as av for our servers: what is not understand is there any real-time scanning for linux?



is that a feature only for windows system? uploading a virus test file (eicar.com) is undetected until a scan; is that how is supposed to work?

many thanks

  • Hi Stefano,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community. I've moved this post over to a more appropriate forum.

    If you are looking for on-access scanning with your Linux Server protection, I recommend deploying "Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux (Legacy)". You can find this in the "Server Protection > Protect Devices" menu. 

    The current version of Sophos Protection for Linux or SPL, is a plugin based installation. There will be more plugins added as we go forward, but some information on what is currently available is outlined in the following article. 
    - Sophos Protection for Linux: Product and plugin installation confirmation

    If you are interested in the MTR solution I recommend deploying SPL as this includes the MTR plugin, where as the Legacy option does not. You can also reach out to our sales team to get more information.
