Sophos Endpoint settings are managed by the RCS tech department. We do not block web pages or track your browser history. Sophos will however block malicious web traffic and downloads using its '''''Real Time Scanning''''' and '''''Runtime Protection''''' features. If Sophos does block traffic that you need to access, you may '''''override''''' the settings by checking the checkbox as shown below. This will allow you to disable individual or all settings for up to 4 hours.
