DescriptionProtect your data from loss or theft with Sophos Central Device Encryption. This is not a new encryption tool; it's a powerful management layer that lets you manage your operating system's native Windows BitLocker and macOS FileVault full disk encryption directly from the Sophos Central console. Protecting lost or stolen laptops is a critical part of security and compliance. Sophos makes it simple to deploy, manage, and (most importantly) recover access to encrypted devices, all from the same place you manage your endpoints. |
Key Features & Benefits
- Central Management: Manage BitLocker (Windows) and FileVault (macOS) encryption policies for all your computers from one console.
- Self-Service Key Recovery: Users can retrieve their own recovery keys from a self-service portal, reducing help desk calls.
- Administrator Key Recovery: Securely store and access all recovery keys from Sophos Central for authorized admins.

Central Management vs. No Management

FAQs for Device Encryption
Q: Does this license include Intercept X endpoint protection?
A: No. This is a standalone license that can be purchased separately or as part of the "Intercept X Advanced with XDR" bundle. If you only need encryption management, you can buy this license on its own.
Q: How is this product licensed?
A: Sophos Device Encryption is licensed per-user, just like Intercept X. One user license covers all of that user's devices (Windows and Mac), making it very cost-effective.
Q: Does Sophos install its own encryption?
A: No. This product is a management tool. It activates, enforces policies on, and manages the recovery keys for the native, built-in encryption of your operating system (BitLocker for Windows and FileVault for macOS). This is the most stable and secure method.
