Sophos Endpoint, Firewall & Managed Cybersecurity Solutions

Cybersecurity works best when endpoint, network, identity, email, and response capabilities reinforce one another. Sophos has built its portfolio around that connected approach, with endpoint protection, EDR/XDR, firewalls, email security, networking, and managed detection and response managed through a cloud-based platform.

Sarsfield Technology helps Southeast Michigan businesses deploy and support Sophos solutions based on the organization’s actual risk and internal resources. We can install and configure Sophos Endpoint, deploy Sophos Firewalls, manage policies, coordinate licensing, migrate from older security products, and add Sophos MDR for organizations that want around-the-clock detection and response without building an internal security operations center.

Why Sophos with Sarsfield Technology

Security products create value only when they are deployed correctly, monitored, maintained, and connected to an incident-response process. We help clients implement Sophos as part of a broader managed-security program that includes identity, patching, backup, vulnerability management, network design, and user support.

Sophos Solutions We Implement & Support

Sophos Endpoint Protection

Sophos Endpoint is designed to protect workstations against malware, ransomware, exploits, and advanced attacks. Current Sophos endpoint offerings include prevention plus options for EDR and XDR, allowing deeper investigation and response when suspicious activity occurs.

Sophos EDR & XDR

Sophos EDR adds tools to identify, investigate, and neutralize evasive threats on endpoints and servers. XDR extends visibility across a broader attack surface. We can help clients determine whether basic endpoint protection, EDR, XDR, or a managed response service is appropriate for their internal capabilities and risk profile.

Sophos MDR

Sophos MDR provides 24/7 managed detection and response backed by Sophos security analysts and an expanding AI-native security architecture. Sophos currently highlights more than 500 security and IT integrations and a vendor-agnostic approach, making MDR relevant even in environments that include Microsoft or other security products.

Sophos Firewall & XGS Appliances

Sophos Firewall provides next-generation firewall, VPN, web/application control, intrusion prevention, SD-WAN, and threat-protection capabilities. For SMB and branch deployments, Sophos now lists second-generation XGS desktop models including XGS 88/88w, 108/108w, 118/118w, 128/128w, and 138; first-generation desktop models are listed as available only while stock lasts. We can help clients size, deploy, configure, and upgrade firewalls accordingly.

Sophos Central / Sophos Fusion

Sophos Central is the cloud management console used across the Sophos security portfolio. In 2026 Sophos announced that Sophos Central is evolving toward the Sophos Fusion name as part of its AI-Native Cybersecurity Defense System. Existing customers will see the branding transition over time; the practical focus remains centralized security administration, policy, visibility, detection, and reporting.

Security Policies, VPN & Ongoing Management

We configure endpoint policies, exclusions when legitimately required, firewall rules, VPN, segmentation, content/application controls, alerts, and administrative access. Ongoing management also includes firmware/software updates, license review, threat investigation, and coordination with Sophos support when escalation is needed.

Current Capabilities & 2026 Product Direction

• Sophos Central is beginning a 2026 branding/evolution to Sophos Fusion, built around the Sophos AI-Native Cybersecurity Defense System architecture.

• Sophos MDR now emphasizes agentic AI combined with human analyst accountability and supports 500+ security and IT integrations.

A Better Fit for the Whole Technology Environment

Sophos can cover multiple security layers, but the strongest results come from integrating it with identity security, backup, vulnerability scanning, patching, and network management. Sarsfield Technology can manage those dependencies and help clients decide where Sophos should be the primary platform and where another product in the technology stack provides a better fit.

Serving Troy & Southeast Michigan Businesses

Sarsfield Technology is based in Troy, Michigan and supports small and midsize businesses throughout Southeast Michigan. We combine Sophos expertise with managed IT services, cybersecurity, cloud, networking, backup, communications, field installation, and user support. That gives clients one local technology partner that can evaluate the entire environment and coordinate the vendors behind it.
