Protection of all devices connected to the university network against malware.
Every device connected to the university network must have up-to-date virus protection. Jade University has been using Sophos Endpoint Protection since June 2023. On devices in PC Network System (WORK-PCVS-1.0), protection is automatically active. For devices outside the PC network system, installation is performed by the IT center – a ticket via the helpdesk is required (COMM-HELPDESK). Free solutions are available for download for private devices.
Virus protection is mandatory for all devices on the university network; university affiliation for Sophos Home
Service devices:
- PC network system (desktop PCs, pool PCs): automatically protected PC Network System (WORK-PCVS-1.0)
- Devices outside PC-VS (mobile systems): HRZ must install – create ticket via service desk (COMM-HELPDESK)
Personal devices:
- Each university member can protect up to 10 personal devices
- Registration: Sophos Home: Commercial Use Edition website
- Enter university email → confirmation email → create Sophos account with personal email
- Important: uninstall existing antivirus first
- This does NOT register as a university device
- Support for Sophos on personal devices: only via Sophos Home support, NOT via HRZ
