How Sophos Central Server Core Agent helps

Which of my servers are currently protected and reporting in?

each installed agent registers with the central platform and shows its endpoint details there, so a server missing from the console is a server without coverage

Is a server that looks fine actually clean, or has something been caught on it?

threat detections found on the host are sent up to the central platform where they appear against that machine's identity

Which servers are out of date on protection status?

the platform aggregates the state each agent reports, so a fleet-wide view shows which hosts have stale or missing check-ins

Are all the machines in my fleet running the same protection setup?

every server runs the same core agent reporting to one central platform, so a host outside that management scope stands out as inconsistent with the rest
