Your IT team's on a single laptop and the network's running 14 endpoints you haven't touched since last term. Sophos Central MDR Essentials covers that gap. It watches your environment for threats that slip past the firewall, flags them, and triggers a response so you're not the one pulling all-nighters before a board meeting. This is the education-licensed tier for 200 to 499 users, locked in for 36 months. One subscription. No per-seat renegotiation mid-year. You set it up once and it keeps running while you get back to actually teaching
