Large Download Notification for April

Jonathan_IT

In regards to:

Advisory: Sophos Endpoint Security and Control version 10.3.7

http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/120492.aspx

Will (for example) the AntiVirus 59MB download mean 59mb synced to each endpoint? Other than throttling on Sophos update policy side of things is there a way to schedule roll out so that I don't kill my WAN?

Or any heads up we may need about the traffic, install, etc? I am just trying to get a heads up on what I should be expecting if there are any known caveats others know to look at for, etc.

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thw download will go first to SUM and then to every CID with a subscription to this particular product version and then as the endpoints update they will all downlaod the changed elements depending on what they have installed. All will get SAV, SAU and the CRT but only those with patch and firewall will get those updates.

    In terms of a "heads up" that's what the KBA was intended to do, this is a major upgrade for the product hence the forewarning of a large download, if you have a license that gives you access to multiple subscriptions we would advise that you try out version 10.3.7 (currently in the Preview subscription) and then if you need to control it' rollout due to WAN bandwidth constraints etc then switch small groups of computers at a time to the Preview subscription and then swtch them all back to Recommended before the end of April to avoid the next Preview Upgrade.

    The switch back to Recommended will not result in any chnages as the same product will exist in both subscriptions.

    Hope this helps!

    Darren.
