Sophos Endpoint Security and Control - is Web protection safe to disable?

msavignac

Hi,

I found this in the documentation:

Sophos Web Protection provides enhanced protection against web threats by preventing access to locations that are known to host malware. It blocks endpoints access to such sites by performing a real-time lookup against Sophos's online database of malicious websites.

We had some problems with Sophos Web Protection (swi_ifslsp.dll) that made Google Chrome browser crash when we worked with our in-house MAM (Media Asset Management) web application.

I'd like to know if it's safe to disable this feature on our endpoints from a security perspective.

Note that this feature works well with Firefox, but for a reason we're still trying to figure, it's not the case with Chrome.

    Hi Christian,

    Thank you for your replies. If both Web Protection settings are Off (Block access to malicious websites AND Download scanning), we don't have any problem.

    I'll try by adding the IP addresses of our web application (in addition of the domain suffixes). I'll keep you informed.
