Web Protection in Sophos Endpoint Protection 10

Hello,

I am having a considerable problem.

I just upgraded our Sophos Enterprise Console to v10 and everything went smoothly. I also noticed the Patch Assessment and Web Protection under Policies, so once I changed the SUM to use v10 for the client machines, I went to enable both the Patch Assessment and Web Protection.

Long story short, it didn't work. Eventually I checked the 'Detail' button and the licenses did not appear for Patch Assessment or Web Protection. This confused me: why even present the option to configure patch and web at all if you don't even have the ability to use it?

So I went back and disabled them both, did a 'comply with all group policies' update and moved on.

I then went to check my email (we use Google Apps) and it kept giving me an SSL error. Then my users started complaining of the same thing. Since I essentially troubleshoot things for a living, I turned off the web protection on my local Sophos configuration because it was the last thing I changed - this then allowed me into gmail. There were no error logs for this.

Problem is, it didn't care what options I set on the Enterprise Console. Even though I disabled web protection, is refused to let go of its settings and it remained on despite restarts, updating Sophos again and even deleting the computer from the console, re-adding and re-installing. Nothing worked.

Eventually I just disabled and stopped the Sophos Web Intelligence Service, that worked. That is far from ideal though. I need to be able to manage Sophos from the console as intended. My users cannot change the setting on their local Sophos (despite tamper protection being disabled at the console policy) and I don't want to have to have a disabled service to fix this; for all I know it affects other anti-virus processes!

Sorry for the long windedness but I wanted to try and answer as many questions as possible rigth off the bat.

Any assistance??

  • We are also having problems with Sophos Web Intelligence Service breaking an intranet streaming site.

    Our students and faculty are using a product called Medivision and it essentially runs a hospital room simulator with cameras, audio, and sim-patients. The server collects all the data during a simulation and allows for review.

    The cameras stream to the browser using QuickTime embedded - and after modifying our group policies to place the Metivision server into the intranet zone, white list it on every thing I can think of - this service will not allow the live stream to connect. When I shut off the service - it all magically works.

    My option is to now run these workstations with the service disabled or find an answer from Metivision (who is going to punt to Sophos because it "works fine for them") or you, Sophos.

    I plan on opening a support case - but I figured I'd throw a "me too" into the thread.
