What can be monitored via the Sophos Central API?

The Sophos Central API provides extensive capabilities for monitoring and managing different aspects of Sophos products and their configurations. This includes not only security incidents but also the ability to access virtually all product reports, settings, and configurations available within the Sophos Central ecosystem.

Through the API, users can automate workflows, gather real-time data, and integrate Sophos protection with other systems, making it a versatile tool for administrators seeking to enhance their cybersecurity posture. This level of access ensures that they can effectively consolidate security information and maintain oversight of their entire security infrastructure.

In contrast, monitoring hardware configuration alone does not encompass the breadth of capabilities offered by the API, nor does it reflect the comprehensive oversight provided. User behavior analytics might be a component of broader security functions but does not fully represent the API's capability to cover all product reports and configurations. Similarly, focusing solely on security incidents ignores the full range of monitoring possibilities available through the API.
