Where can exclusions for servers be added in Sophos Central?

1. In the Global Settings and Firewall Policy

2. In the Global Settings and Server Policy

3. Under User Policies and Global Settings

4. In the Logs and Reports section

The correct answer is: In the Global Settings and Server Policy

The correct answer is that exclusions for servers can be added in both Global Settings and Server Policy within Sophos Central. In Global Settings, administrators have the ability to define broad settings that apply across all devices under management. This includes exclusion rules that can affect multiple servers at once, ensuring that specific files or processes are not scanned or blocked by the Sophos security solutions. Additionally, the Server Policy is specifically tailored for configurations that apply exclusively to servers. It allows for more granular control over security settings unique to server environments, including the ability to specify exclusions relevant to server operation. By combining both Global Settings and Server Policy, organizations can efficiently manage exclusions while ensuring that the necessary security measures are in place for their server infrastructure. The other options either misplace the context of where exclusions can be added or refer to areas that do not pertain specifically to exclusions for servers.
