Sophos Firewall
Sophos is a single, cloud-management solution for all your Sophos next-gen technologies. It offers a unified management console, real-time information sharing between products, and automated incident response, making cybersecurity easier and more effective.
Powerful Protection and Performance
Sophos Firewall and XGS Series appliances with dedicated Xstream Flow processors enable the ultimate in application acceleration, high-performance TLS inspection, and powerful threat protection. The Sophos Firewall Xstream architecture is engineered to deliver high levels of visibility, protection, and performance to address some of the greatest challenges facing network administrators today.
TLS 1.3 inspection
Sophos Firewall makes efficient and effective TLS inspection possible without compromising on performance. Our XGS Series appliances with integrated Xstream Flow Processors put TLS traffic on the FastPath for accelerated inspection. Our high-performance TLS inspection enginesupports TLS 1.3 without downgrading, the latest cipher suites for maximum compatibility, and enhanced visibility into encrypted traffic flows right on the dashboard.
Application acceleration
A significant portion of your network traffic is trusted business application traffic destined for branch offices,remote users, or cloud application servers. As such, no additional security scanning for threats or malware is needed, and traffic can be intelligently directed tothe FastPath. This reduces latency, optimizes overall performance, and frees up capacity for traffic that does need deep packet inspection.
Deep packet inspection
Sophos Firewall includes a high-speed deep packet inspection (DPI) engine to scan your traffic for threats without a proxy slowing down the process. The firewall stack can completely offload the processing to the DPI engine, significantly reducing latency and improving overall efficiency.
SD-WAN
Sophos Firewall with Xstream SD-WAN provides a powerful, integrated SD-WAN solution, with performance-based link selection and routing, load balancing, zero-impact transitions between links in the event of a disruption,central cloud-managed orchestration, and Xstream FastPath acceleration of VPN tunnel traffic.
