Sophos for home use

nduda78

So i was reading the KB's and EULA for providing Sophos for employees to use at home. Basically what I got out of it was that we need to provide a packaged version of Sophos that uses an update server that we host. I understand this and like it because if the employee leaves the company the AV will stop updating, and if they dont have the EM credentials they cant update directly from Sophos.

My question is what is the best practice for a global pressence? I'd rather not have public web servers all over the globe with different packges for each. for example, Im in Boston, and we have an office in Australia. I'd rather not have the home user in Australia updating against a server here in Boston.

    Right, I understand all this. I should have been more clear.

    First off, am I correct in saying that the only approved method, according to EULA, for home Sophos users is to update against a WebCID that the company publishes. We are not permitted to give out the EM credentials for users to update against Sophos directly? I prefer they update against us.

    I would also want it public, through a proxy we run, rather than VPN so they can always have the latest updates.

    If its IIS, I imagine I would set the users credentials on the WebCID so each employee would use their own credentials in the Sophos endpoint software, rather than a static username and password.
