Restart required after Updates from Sophos

Hello,

I use Sophos Endpoint and using the Enterprise Console, I notice that almost once a month, after Sophos has updated the desktops/servers, I get a "Warning - Restart required for updates to take effect" . Is that normal? I just want to make sure I haven't missed any settings since it also affects servers.

Thank you,

ARIT

Hello ARIT,
it's not every month although it might seem so. Every month there's a major update where individual IDEs are consolidated and new detection data (VDL) issued. A reboot is required if certain components are upgraded (for an example please see Advisory: Considerations for customers running Endpoint Security and Control 10 in advance of May maintenance release - note it says Existing protection will not be compromised before the required reboot is completed. For major version upgrades there's always the reboot requirement but the note about continued protection applies as well (example: Advisory: Sophos Endpoint v 9.5 and 9.7: automatic upgrade to v 10, reboot required).
