Question

Is CryptoGuard in Central Server Protection Advanced working on a terminal server or a Citrix server?

Hi Dan, 
 I'll do this in reverse order; https://www.sophos.com/legal.aspx is where you can find the EULA and Licensing Guidelines. I will be reviewing both of these before we launch official support so there might be a few minor updates to what you see today. 
 If the users are using Endpoint protection on their devices, then we dont double count and you would purchase the license suitable for the protection they need on their device. In the situation in which the users wont be running Sophos on their endpoints, then we will use any available enduser license. 
 I hope this helps. 
 Regards, 
 Stephen

Hi Dan, 
 As you highlight with the Microsoft example, we are looking to achieve parity between the Endpoint and Server licenses. Therefore, if you are running Central Server Advanced on the RDS server, the users would require Central Endpoint Advanced licenses. The exception is CryptoGuard, as this is included in the Server Advanced license you would get this benefit with Endpoint Advanced, you are not required to purchase Intercept X. 
 Many thanks for your questions and feedback on this.

 Stephen

Hi all, 
 We have published this article; https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/127299 to confirm our support of CryptoGuard (plus other features) on Temrinal Servers. We are working on further enhancements to our support which I will share with the community early in 2018.

Hi Matt, 
 Correct, we dont support RDS/XenApp environments currently because we havent done the testing to confirm the functionality. The setup you have in your test environment should work as expected but we cant confirm that the functionality (alerts, events etc) will work as it does outside of RDS environemtns. 
 
 I can confirm that the CryptoGuard feature built into Central Server Protection includes the follback of encrypted files.

Hi Matthew, (sorry for the delay, I have been away). 
 Our EULA refers to the following: ''User' means an employee, consultant or other individual who benefits from the Product licensed to Licensee.' 
 Therefore, any users accessing the server, and benefitting from its protection, will need a license. In your example you would need 1 server advanced licnese and 9 end user licenses. 
 I hope this helps.

Hi Gerd, 
 At this time, CryptoGuard is part of the Sophos Server protection agent, we are looking at plans to offer an Intercept X for Servers that would allow you to run alongisde traditional AV. Until then, you would need to replace the existing anti virus product on the server.
