Sophos Certified Engineer Practice Exam

Sophos utilizes the Security Heartbeat feature to facilitate security compliance across endpoints by enabling real-time communication between Sophos endpoints and the Sophos Central management platform. This feature allows endpoints to share security status and health information, creating a dynamic and responsive security environment.

When an endpoint is compromised or exhibits suspicious behavior, the Security Heartbeat will notify the central management system, which can then take appropriate actions, such as isolating the affected endpoint from the network. This immediate response helps maintain compliance with security policies, ensuring that all devices are monitored closely and that threats are addressed as they arise.

Additionally, the Security Heartbeat provides insights into the overall security posture of the organization, allowing for better visibility into compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements. This feature enhances the ability to enforce security measures consistently across all endpoints, thereby strengthening the organization's overall security stance.
