How can users enable advanced threat protection in Sophos?

Advanced Threat Protection in Sophos can be enabled through configuration settings in the Sophos Central dashboard. This centralized management console allows for comprehensive administration of security features across multiple endpoints and servers. By accessing the Sophos Central dashboard, users can toggle advanced threat protection settings tailored to their organizational needs, ensuring they benefit from enhanced protection against sophisticated attacks.

The availability of such settings in a centralized environment aids in maintaining consistency across the deployment, allowing administrators to easily manage and adjust configurations as threats evolve. This method contrasts with options involving third-party antivirus software, which would not integrate with Sophos products to enable such protections, as well as manual scanning or relying solely on default settings, which may not provide the full suite of protective measures that advanced threat protection offers.
