Installation

Running Sophos is required on all RCS owned computers. Our current version is Sophos Endpoint Protection and on a Mac can be installed via Self Service. On a Windows computer, open a tech support ticket and we will reach out to schedule an appointment for installation.

See our technology usage policy for more details about why Sophos is required to be installed.

Usage

Admin Login

In order to make any changes to settings or to resolve notifications you must click "Admin Login" first.

 

You will then be promoted for you laptop password to continue.

 

Settings

Once you have authenticated through "Admin Login" you can click the 'Settings' tab to view enabled settings.

 

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 then revert back to default after the 4 hours.
