DescriptionSophos Central Email Advanced is a complete cloud-based email security and monitoring system. It integrates directly with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and on-premise Exchange to provide an essential, powerful layer of protection against all email-borne threats. It stops spam, malware, and advanced threats like phishing and impersonation before they ever reach your users' inboxes. By using AI-powered sandboxing and analysis, it catches the zero-day threats that default security solutions often miss. |

Sophos Email vs. Default Microsoft 365 Security
Many customers ask, "Doesn't Microsoft 365 already protect me?" While M365 has good basic security, Sophos provides a critical second layer of defense that is more specialized in catching advanced threats. Relying on a single vendor (Microsoft) for both productivity and security can be a risk.

FAQs for Sophos Email Advanced
Q: How is Sophos Central Email Advanced licensed and priced?
A: It is licensed as a per-user, per-year subscription. The price is based on the number of mailboxes you need to protect. As a Platinum Partner, we can provide an official quote based on your exact user count.
Q: Does this replace my Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace license?
A: No. Sophos Email Advanced is a "gateway" solution. It sits in front of your M365 or Google Workspace, scanning all mail before it's delivered. You still need your M365/Google license for your mailboxes.
Q: What is the difference between Sophos Email Advanced and Sophos Phish Threat?
A: This is a common question. Email Advanced is the technical protection that automatically blocks threats. Phish Threat is the user training module that sends simulated phishing emails to your employees to teach them how to spot attacks.
