Hello,

We are seeing delays with policy changes and enforcement in Sophos Central (US-West region) as well as installation failures due to inability of new endpoint installations to initially register. Our engineers are working to restore latency. Please note your endpoints remain protected. Updates will be provided on this thread.

Thank you,

Bob

  • Can we expect a fix today? I too am holding up a deployment because of this outage. Is Sophos going to share a post mortem report with its customers? I'm deeply concerned and could use a little reassurance that this product isn't going to be a nightmare.

  • Ben, this is pretty bad, but this is the first Sophos Central issue that has affected the client side since our launch in February.  It's still very concerning though.  And I would definitely like to see a detailed outage report explaining how this issue was "fixed" and exactly why we can expect this specific issue to never happen again.

  • Hi Ben,

    I will communicate out as soon as I know the fix release time. We are trying to get the fix out asap. Thank you.

  • If this is your first major issue, then you have been very lucky.  We have had numerous outages that hit our business pretty hard.  Most have been with the Cloud Web Gateway and the fact that we have a lot of cloud-based applications.

    Good to hear! I want to reiterate the importance of a post mortem though. It's important for the customers to be reasonably satisfied that this isn't going to happen again.
