IT OPERATIONS USE CASES
Sophos EDR excels at helping you keep your IT operations hygiene in peak condition. Here are just a few examples of the tasks it will help you perform more quickly.
Device health checks - Identify devices that are having performance issues then remotely access them and take needed action. You can:
- Find devices with low disk space, high memory/CPU usage or that are pending reboot
- Remotely access devices to free up disk space, investigate causes of high usage and reboot as needed
Vulnerabilities - Detect devices that have issues or vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malware or attackers. You can:
- Locate devices with software vulnerabilities, unknown services running or unauthorized browser extensions and detect shared or stolen cloud account credentials
- Remotely access devices to install patches, investigate and terminate unknown services, uninstall browser extensions and update cloud account credentials
Unwanted software - Track down software that could cause compliance issues or productivity issues. You can:
- Find unwanted programs such as Spotify, Steam and Bittorrent
- Remotely access devices and uninstall the software
Configuration oversights - Find devices and cloud workloads that have configuration issues that can pose security risks. You can:
- Identify servers with RDP and SSH enabled, cloud security groups with network ports left open, monitor and inventory public cloud hosts, containers and more
- Remotely access the servers, disable RDP/SSH and check for servers listening on the open ports
Compliance - Identify and address compliance issues on-premises and in the cloud. You can:
- Find sensitive files (e.g. financial information), assess configurations for AWS, Azure and GCP environments
- Remotely access devices to delete sensitive files, ensure secure cloud configurations against CIS benchmarks
Project rollouts - Check whether IT projects have been rolled out across all your devices. You can:
- See if software has been deployed on devices to measure progress throughout rollout
- Remotely access devices to ensure successful deployment and reboot if required to make any necessary changes
