Sophos Central/Cloud for us. We took advantage of their Higher Ed pricing deal. Nice features like DLP, Ransomware 
protection, Web filtering – MDM optional extra. We haven’t been using it that long so I can’t really tell you how well 
it does, but it seemed like the best bang for our buck.

We utilize Sophos here and seems to work well for our needs.

Hello!

We are looking at some of the Next Gen Antivirus solutions. I know there are quite a few players in the game, but I’m 
currently interested in CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sophos, Cylance, Carbon Black, and Palo Alto Traps.

I would love to hear about what others schools are using and how the experience has been. I know some players have EDR 
(Endpoint Detection and Response) built in or as an additional component. I’m strictly looking at the Antivirus at the 
moment, but do like the idea of being able to add EDR (or additional features) down the road if it is not built into 
the core product.

We are currently using Windows Defender Antivirus.

Thanks for the input!
