What is the purpose of the Sophos Endpoint installer?

The purpose of the Sophos Endpoint installer is to deploy and configure the Sophos Endpoint security solution. This tool is essential for integrating Sophos security features into the endpoint systems. When the installer is executed, it sets up the necessary components and configurations that allow the endpoint to communicate with the Sophos management platform. This ensures that the endpoint is protected against threats, can receive updates, and operates within the defined security policies established by the organization.

By using the installer, administrators can efficiently manage multiple endpoint devices with standardized security settings, reducing the risk of misconfiguration and enhancing the overall security posture of the network. The deployment process includes installing the software agents that will actively monitor and protect each endpoint, allowing for real-time threat detection and response.

Other options relate to functions that are either outside the main purpose of the installer or are managed through different tools or processes within the Sophos ecosystem. User training, network settings management, and user account creation happen within different contexts and require separate approaches that are not fulfilled by the installer alone.
