The Sophos Product Range

One platform. Zero gaps.

Most businesses end up with a patchwork of security tools that don't talk to each other. Sophos is different — endpoint, firewall, MDR, XDR, email and cloud all run on one platform (Sophos Central) and share intelligence in real time. Comstel deploys the right combination for your size and risk.

Common Questions

Things people ask us most.

What is Sophos and how is it different from regular antivirus?
Sophos is a complete cybersecurity platform — not just antivirus. It combines endpoint protection (with AI-powered deep learning), next-gen firewall, managed detection and response (MDR), email security, cloud protection and 24/7 expert monitoring into one synchronized platform managed from Sophos Central. Traditional antivirus only catches known threats; Sophos uses behavioural analysis and AI to stop attacks no one has seen before.
Do I need both Sophos endpoint and Sophos firewall?
You don't need both, but they're much stronger together. Sophos' Synchronized Security lets endpoint and firewall share threat intelligence in real time — when one detects a threat, the other automatically blocks it everywhere. Most Australian businesses run both for layered defence. Comstel will recommend the right combination during the free assessment.
What is Sophos MDR and why do I need it?
Sophos MDR is a fully managed service where real Sophos security analysts monitor your environment 24/7/365 from 6 global SOCs. They hunt threats, investigate alerts and take response action on your behalf — isolating endpoints, killing malicious processes, disabling compromised accounts. Critical for businesses without 24/7 in-house security staff.
What's the difference between MDR Essentials and MDR Complete?
MDR Essentials — Sophos analysts detect threats and notify you with detailed guidance, you take the response action. MDR Complete — Sophos analysts take the response action for you (isolate the endpoint, disable accounts, contain the threat), plus a $1M Breach Protection Warranty and SLA-backed response times. Most SMBs choose Complete for peace of mind.
Is Sophos suitable for small business in Australia?
Yes. Sophos scales from 5-person teams to 50,000-user enterprises. Comstel regularly deploys Sophos for Australian small businesses, accounting firms, law practices, schools, hospitality venues and healthcare clinics — sized to your team and your risk profile, with local Sydney-based support.
Does Sophos help with cyber insurance requirements?
Yes. Many Australian cyber insurers now require EDR (endpoint detection and response) and 24/7 monitoring for coverage. Sophos MDR with Intercept X delivers both, helping your business qualify for coverage and often securing better premiums.
Can Sophos work with my existing security tools?
Yes — Sophos integrates with 350+ third-party tools, including Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Rapid7, AWS, Google, Okta, Darktrace and many others. Sophos MDR can ingest telemetry from your existing tools, so you don't have to rip and replace.
How long does Sophos take to deploy?
Most Sophos endpoint deployments roll out across a typical SMB in days, not weeks. Sophos Central is cloud-based, so there's no server to install. Sophos Firewall deployments are scheduled around your network change windows. Comstel handles the entire deployment so your team isn't disrupted.
