Sophos Central File encryption

Hi EricKant 

As of now the Sophos Central client is managing Windows Bitlocker for the drive encryption. Currently we do not have any update on Sophos central file encryption.

On the roadmap of the Sophos Partner Conference in Lisbon state that is coming up this year. What's the current timeline of release of Sophos Central File Encryption?

Hi EricKant 

Our team is working on the Sophos Central File Encryption (For external drives) option, it might be available from 2018 (No Definitive ETA  available as of now).

Is there any news about the roadmap of File base encryption in Central?

Hi EricKant,

Currently we have no ETA on the this, as mentioned earlier it might be available from 2018 as the team is working on it.

Hopefully it will coming soon. Is there an early acess program available?

I see the option file encryption in the central dashboard and I want to test this

Any news about this? 

Hello!

It should be out in late Q2 or early Q3.

Hi Everyone,

The Previously mentioned information is out of date and we need to wait for the official announcement from the concerned team regarding Central file-based encryption. We appreciate your patience in this regards.

Hi Gowtham

Any updates on this that you can share?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

The roadmap to deliver File Encryption in Sophos Central has unfortunately been canceled. Customers who need file encryption capabilities can still enjoy the extensive file encryption functionality in SafeGuard Enterprise.

Hi Gowtham

Thanks very much for the update. I had been chasing our Sophos account manager but not had a reply. Now I know why.

"enjoy" isn't a word I would use to describe SafeGuard! I can see it may work really well for some environments, but it's not totally suited to ours.

Thanks

Lee
