I use the solution in my company for security purposes, but now we use it for branch connectivity, VPN, SD-WAN, and management of LAN. The tool is used in our company to deal with many issues, including email protection and sandboxing.

In my company, we use Sophos SafeGuard since it functions as a solution meant for corporate-level organizations, so it is located at the corporate office, where we also use it to get downloads of patches. In general, the solution is meant for corporate data security.

It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues. However, the only drawback for our users is the need for an additional password. Apart from that, it has been good so far. We recently passed the Personal Protection of Personal Information Act in South Africa. It has been in effect for the past three years, starting in 2018. There is a requirement to protect customer information as all our users work from home and utilize mobile devices. Therefore, we made the decision to ensure that all users have it installed. This way, in case of laptop theft or loss, at least we can guarantee the safety of the information.

I use SafeGuard to protect the end-user's system from any external algorithms. Users have to be ready for any attack, whether it's coming from within or outside the network.

It is used in environments where there are mobile executives and the data can't be compromised. For example, if a laptop is lost or stolen, you have to ensure that the data is not compromised. I have deployed it at a motor company in the Bay area for securing the local laptops. It is used at a hospital for securing medical records and CFO-related files. It is also used at a Law firm for encrypting pleadings and legal documents.

Sophos SafeGuard is a firewall; we use it for filtering and internet security. Sophos SafeGuard constantly updates, so I am always using the latest version. Within our organization, there are slightly less than 10 Sophos SafeGuard users.

We use this solution for encrypting our laptops. This is an anti-theft solution because I can even encrypt the boot sector, which means that the user has to enter a password to unlock the operating system. If the laptop is stolen then everything is encrypted.

Our primary use case of this solution is for security and VPN connection. The uses can vary per customer. For example, one customer wanted to protect their network, with VPN connectivity. Sophos has good features that customers know and like. It is also less expensive than other firewalls. Other customers, for example, wanted to publish their websites and their servers. They wanted to protect their servers and publish them on the internet. Another customer needs to have security because they were attacked by ransomware.
