SMB Technology Firm Replaces Sophos Web Filtering with dope.security SWG
Share the canonical public link.
An SMB technology firm discontinued Sophos web filtering on May 12, 2026, due to inadequate category coverage and SSL inspection issues. The firm cited complaints from users and the console's endpoint-focused design as drawbacks for secure web gateway needs. Replacement with dope.security's on-device SWG enabled policy enforcement directly on endpoints without additional infrastructure. Deployment occurred across the managed estate in weeks using existing tools, retaining Sophos endpoint protection. The switch addressed customer security questionnaires on HTTPS inspection, improving renewal discussions by May 12, 2026.
