Sophos Firewall Administrator Practice Exam

Registering Sophos Firewall with your Sophos Central account typically involves using one-time passwords (OTP) or credentials associated with your Sophos Central account. This process ensures that the firewall can securely connect and communicate with the Sophos Central management platform, allowing for centralized management of security policies, monitoring, and reporting.

Using OTP or credentials is a common method to establish a secure connection, as it verifies the identity and authorization of the device being registered. This step is crucial for ensuring that only authenticated and authorized devices can access the central management services.

The other methods listed, such as email confirmation, using a mobile app, or automatic registration during setup, can be part of adjacent processes but may not directly apply to the secure registration of the firewall in this context. For example, email confirmation typically deals with verifying account ownership rather than registering devices, while mobile apps may facilitate account management rather than the direct registration of hardware like firewalls. Automatic registration could occur in some cases, but it generally requires prior authorization through user credentials to ensure security compliance.
