Improve FIM Event Logging
If the File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) logs aren't going to be centralized in the administrative console, enhance the existing endpoint FIM logging to the Windows Event Viewer by populating the FIM event details (file name, location, action) in the General tab of the event (instead of only in the Details view). Also, create useful Event IDs, Event Sources, and Task Categories to allow for filtering locally and advanced parsing by SIEM solutions.

exploit exclusions
now only
with the addition of exploit exclusions to see if it can be mitigated.From the Sophos Central console:
Global Settings> Global Exclusions> Add Exclusion> Exploit Mitigation> Internet Exploreralso add the known url or ip of your own application, even better if applicable to a group of PCs

Sophos Central Patch Assessment
We all know patch is very important in security. It would be very helpful for us if there is a patch assessment (like on the on-premise SEC) on Sophos Central Advanced.
It should also categorized reports based on its criticality, Critical, High, Medium, or Low like the patch assement on SEC.

Application installed
On Sophos Central, just like on the server protection which Sophos agent able to see what applications are installed on the servers. On the endpoints should also has this inventory of application features. This will help to see what applications are suspicious and looking for unpatch applications.

Change from max 14 character passwords to much higher
We had a Cyber Security team do an Audit on our Company, one of their recommendations was to increase password length to 16 characters with no complexity as hackers can now ***** 8 character passwords and/or hashes near immediately now. With this extend out the end user from changing their password from 90 days to 1 year. Upon making this change in our AD environment it broke Sophos installs on new machines. The mechanism that sophos uses is it ties to create a user on the system but with only 14 characters, which violated this policy and thus Sophos cannot…

For Sophos Anti-virus client, please display a pop-up message (e.g. upon every restart or bootup) that reminds user to do a restart in order for the computer to complete the updates. Currently users are required to manually check the agent status for any 'reboot to complete updates'...

BitLocker Force HW Encryption
Force HW Encryption for BitLocker Encryption. Display Status if Hardware Encryption is in use or not in Central and on Endpoint Diagnostic Utility
1 voteWe don’t have any plans to let admins force hardware based encryption. However, within the Central console it is possible to see which encryption type has been used on a device. This is available by going to the Encryption section of Sophos Central and using the filter at the top to view encryption states, or by clicking on an individual machine and expanding the ‘Device Encryption’ section.

Intercept X - Threat Case - Root Cause not Identified, No Threat Case
After upgrading to Intercept X with EDR there are situations where a Threat Case is not created. Sophos Support mentioned a Threat Case was not forwarded to Central because a root cause could not be found. Even when a Root Cause cannot be identified consider creating a Threat Case so customers have access to the additional context information. Perhaps set the beacon as the root cause.
"Note: Threat cases are only created for malicious detections; this does not include detections for PUAs, Application Control, Device Control, Web Control. Additionally if Sophos isn't able to automatically confirm a root cause, a…

Intercept X - JAR files
Intercept X does not appear to process JAR files - malware like Java Adwind seems to get past Intercept X. Are there plans to have Intercept X / Sophos ML to process JAR files? This woud provide much needed heuristic detection of this common family/type of malware.

Intercept X - Detect Malware Downloaders (Macro's, PDFs, etc]
Intercept X is great for detecting new executable malware, however it does not seem great at detecting malware downloaders, e.g. Office macro or PDF downloaders.
Can Intercept X be enhanced so it looks for Office documents that spawn powershell/cmd/BITSAdmin or any other application that can be used to download executable content? This will provide an additional layer of defence in depth that an adversary has to bypass in order to infect a system.2 votes -
Monitoring mode for Exploit Prevention
There should be a monitoring mode for exploit prevention ( detection is on but blocking is off )
so we can initally test what can the impact be and what kind of applications will be blocked by exploit prevention.2 votes -
Heartbeat
The security heartbeat only works if the end point has direct internet access. Please can you allow the heartbeat to use the same internet settings (proxy server) as the workstation.

Is it planned to merge Enterprise Console with Sophos Central in the future, to have all features of both, something like "hybrid cloud"
It would be nice to have the extended security of the cloud also on the On-Premises Version, but without the drawbacks like automated Client Version Upgrades and no Push-Client Installation possible...

Include in the exclusion process to automatically exclude files touched by a specific process
We have some applications that are used to monitor/scan files across a system and being able to exclude any file it touches during the time it is opening that file would alleviate process impact on the system, and prevent locks on files which could cause issues with the parent application.

Sophos cloud Linux workstation AV endpoint
Please provide a Linux workstation license for Sophos Cloud. For users that have linux desktops, we don't have an option if we want to use Sophos Cloud for our management service.
