Managed endpoint security with Sophos
Lynxsource deploys and runs your endpoint protection on Sophos — prevention, detection, and response — from its own Security Operations Center, 24/7. We do not hand you the console for your team to run: we run it ourselves, as an MSSP with ISO 27001:2022 and in-house teams in five countries.
The value is not in owning the licenses, but in who tunes the policies, investigates what Sophos flags, and responds when an incident happens. We do that for you, on your own machines, without you having to build an in-house security team.

The definition
What is managed endpoint security with Sophos?
It means Lynxsource deploys, tunes, and operates Sophos protection on your machines, and monitors and responds for you 24/7 from its SOC — instead of leaving you the console for your own people to administer.
Endpoint security is not installing an antivirus and forgetting about it. Sophos detects malicious behavior, ransomware, and lateral movement on every machine; but those alerts have to be triaged, investigated, and contained in time.
In a managed service we configure the policies to fit your operation, receive whatever Sophos flags in our SOC, separate the noise from what matters, and act — isolate a machine, kill a process, escalate — without waiting for someone on your team to be watching. You deal with a single party: the same one that operates and the same one that responds.
The scope
Which Sophos products does Lynxsource operate?
Intercept X on the endpoint, XDR for extended detection, Sophos Firewall on the network, Sophos Email on the mail flow, and Sophos Central as the single management console.
These are not five separate products but one case seen at five points. An email with a malicious attachment touches Sophos Email on the way in, Intercept X on the machine that opens it, and the firewall on the connection the attacker tries to open afterwards; XDR is where those signals meet and stop being three alerts and become one incident.
That is why we operate them together and from a single console. Watching only the machine leaves out how it got in; watching only email leaves out what happened next. Which part you start with is decided by your situation, not by the catalog.
Sophos XDR
Extended detection and response: it correlates endpoint, network, and email signals to follow a threat as it crosses from one to another.
Sophos Firewall
Network firewall (XGS) integrated with the endpoint: firewall and machines share signal and isolate themselves when a threat appears.
Sophos Email
Email protection: it filters phishing and malware on the path most attacks still come through.
Sophos Central
The single console from which we manage policies, alerts, and response across your whole estate, without jumping between tools.
The endpoint is one of the nine layers we monitor as a single system.
The decision
Why run Sophos with an MSSP instead of in-house?
Because the license is the easy part; what is expensive and hard is having someone qualified watching and responding around the clock.
Anyone can buy Sophos and install it. Sustaining it is another matter: tuning policies without slowing down the work, reviewing every alert at three in the morning, telling a false positive from a real attack and containing it within minutes.
Staffing that 24/7 shift with qualified people costs more than the tool and is hard to retain. As an MSSP, that team already exists, operates for several companies, and responds for you under a service agreement — you pay a fee, not a security payroll.
The operation
How does Lynxsource monitor your endpoints with Sophos?
Sophos alerts come into our SOC, are triaged in under a minute, and, when they are real, are answered within minutes — isolating the machine before the threat spreads.
Sophos Central sends the signal from every endpoint to our Security Operations Center, where it is correlated with the rest of the layers we monitor.
We triage the alert, investigate the ones that warrant it, and respond: isolate the machine from the network, kill the process, roll back the changes made by ransomware, and escalate with you. It is continuous monitoring, not periodic reviews — and every month we hand you what happened, what we contained, and what is worth adjusting.
The coverage
Which countries does Lynxsource operate in?
With in-house teams in Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia, and also in the United States and Canada.
In-house means the analysts, the automation, and the operations center belong to Lynxsource. In a reseller model your provider opens a ticket with another provider and passes the answer along when it arrives; here whoever answers is whoever decides.
The service is the same in all five countries, with the same SOC behind it and the same triage and response figures. What changes is who you have nearby, not the quality of the monitoring.
Questions about this service
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy the Sophos licenses separately?
We can include them in the service or manage the ones you already have. What matters is who operates them; a license on its own protects nothing.
Does Sophos replace my current antivirus?
Yes: Intercept X replaces the traditional antivirus with prevention and EDR. We migrate without leaving machines unprotected.
What happens when Sophos detects something serious at 3 a.m.?
Our SOC triages and responds at any hour: isolate the machine, contain it, and let you know. It does not wait for your office hours.
Do you manage only the endpoint, or firewall and email too?
We operate whatever the stack calls for: endpoint, XDR, firewall, and email, integrated into a single operation.
Do I have to buy the whole Sophos suite?
No. We start where you need it most — usually the endpoint — and add the rest as your situation calls for it.
