Firewall

Powerful Protection and Performance

Sophos Firewall and the dual-processor XGS Series appliances provide the ultimate in SaaS, SD-WAN, and cloud application acceleration, high-performance TLS inspection, and powerful threat protection for the most demanding networks.

Xstream Protection

Sophos Firewall’s Xstream Architecture protects your network from the latest threats while accelerating your important SaaS, SD-WAN, and cloud application traffic.

TLS 1.3 Inspection

Remove an enormous blind spot with intelligent TLS inspection that’s fast and effective, supporting the latest standards with extensive exceptions and point-and-click policy tools to strike the perfect balance of performance, privacy, and protection.

Deep Packet Inspection

Stop the latest hacks and attacks dead in their tracks with high performance streaming deep packet inspection, including next-gen IPS, web protection, and app control, as well as deep learning and sandboxing powered by SophosLabs Intelix.

Application Acceleration

Accelerate your trusted SaaS, SD-WAN, and cloud traffic such as VoIP, video, and other mission critical applications automatically or via your own policies. Put them on the FastPath through the Xstream Flow Processor to optimize performance and increase headroom for traffic that needs deeper inspection.

Synchronized Security

Closely integrated with Sophos Endpoint, our firewall can automatically respond to incidents via Security Heartbeat™. The health status for all your endpoints is in full view, while your Sophos Firewall coordinates an automated, proactive response to isolate any active threat — preventing lateral movement. Security Heartbeat™ also shares user and application identification to improve application discovery. In combination with Sophos Managed Detection and Response, you can tap into the benefits of synchronized security, making remediation faster and easier.

Sophos Central Management and Reporting

Sophos Central is the ultimate cloud management platform. Manage all your firewalls with group policy tools for backup management, scheduled firmware updates, and zerotouch deployment. Take advantage of our powerful cloud-based reporting tools to get deeper insight into your network activity.

Sophos Firewall XGS Series Appliances
