Email Security at a Glance

Threat Protection

Blocks spam, malware, and phishing on inbound and outbound mail, backed by live SophosLabs threat intelligence. Advanced adds Active Threat Protection: cloud sandboxing that detonates suspicious attachments before they execute, plus Time-of-Click URL rewriting that re-checks links the moment a user clicks them.

Impersonation & BEC Defense

Compares sender display names against your VIPs and commonly spoofed brands, flags look-alike domains, and can block, quarantine, or banner suspect messages. It also runs post-delivery protection for Microsoft 365, pulling phishing emails back out of the inbox if a link turns malicious after it is delivered.

Encryption & DLP

Scans message bodies and attachments for financials, PII, and health data, then applies policy-based encryption or blocks the send. Encrypt with TLS, S/MIME, or push-based delivery, with an optional web portal add-on for full pull-based encryption.

Deployment & Management

Connect with a standard MX record change, or on Microsoft 365 with Advanced, use Sophos Mailflow Rules for API-based setup with no MX redirect. Sync users with AD or Azure AD, set domain, group, or per-user policies, and manage it all in Sophos Central.

Email is one piece of Sophos Central

Sophos Email runs in the same console as endpoint, server, and firewall management. If you're building out your Sophos Central stack, it's worth seeing the full lineup before you settle on email alone.

Email Security FAQ

What is the difference between Sophos Central Email Standard and Advanced?

Standard is the core secure email gateway: anti-spam, anti-malware, and anti-phishing filtering on inbound and outbound mail, quarantine, allow and block lists, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, and per-user or group policies. Advanced adds the heavier protection most buyers are after: Active Threat Protection with cloud sandboxing and Time-of-Click URL rewriting, phishing impersonation and business email compromise defense, data loss prevention, email encryption, and API-based Microsoft 365 integration. If you need sandboxing, impersonation protection, encryption, or DLP, choose Advanced.

Can I buy Sophos email security without owning a Sophos firewall?

Yes. Sophos Central Email is a standalone cloud service and does not require a Sophos firewall or any other Sophos product. It runs in Sophos Central, so if you already use Sophos firewall or endpoint it shares one console, but many customers run it on its own purely for email protection.

Does it work with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and on-premises Exchange?

It does. Sophos Central Email protects Microsoft 365, Google Workspace Gmail, on-premises Microsoft Exchange, and effectively any mail platform where you own the domain and control the DNS records. On Microsoft 365 with an Advanced license you can skip MX changes and connect through Sophos Mailflow Rules for faster API-based processing.

How is Sophos email security licensed and priced?

It is licensed per user, meaning per mailbox, in user bands across 1, 2, and 3 year terms. You buy the band that covers your user count, so a 40-mailbox company lands in a larger band than a 12-mailbox one. Not sure which band or term fits your seat count? Talk to a Sophos-certified rep and we will size it for you.

How does it stop phishing and business email compromise?

Standard blocks the bulk of spam and known phishing with SophosLabs reputation filtering and live threat updates. Advanced goes further against targeted attacks: it rewrites and re-checks links at click time, sandboxes suspicious attachments before they execute, and compares sender display names and domains against your VIPs and commonly spoofed brands to catch impersonation and CEO-style fraud.

How is the license delivered and set up after I order?

Sophos Central Email is a digital license, so there is no hardware to ship. Once your order is processed the license appears in Sophos Central, then you connect your domain by MX record or, on Microsoft 365 Advanced, through Mailflow Rules. If you would rather not touch the setup, our team can configure it for you.
