Sophos Certified Technician Practice Exam 2025 - Complete Prep Guide

A server policy for Threat Protection in Sophos Central is specifically designed to be assigned to devices and device groups. This is because server policies are tailored to manage and secure the server environment effectively, focusing on physical or virtual servers within an organization's network.

Devices include individual machines that are being protected, whether they are on-premises servers, cloud servers, or other types of server infrastructure. Device groups allow the administrator to easily manage policies across multiple servers that share common characteristics or roles within the organization. By assigning the policy at the device or group level, it enables streamlined management and consistent enforcement of security measures, including threat detection and response.

The other options do not align with how server policies are configured in Sophos Central. Users and roles relate to identity management but are not directly tied to server protection management. Networks and locations are broader concepts that involve configurations related to network security and traffic management rather than device-specific policies. Applications and permissions deal with user access and software controls rather than the application of threat protection policies to server devices.
