• Better visibility – We use telemetry from the endpoint to automatically identify and expose hidden risks, and our endpoint integration can provide automated responses to incidents. Sophos also identifies top risk users based on browsing habits and advanced threat infections, and the Cloud Application Visibility can identify shadow IT and at-risk data.
• Better protection – Unified Firewall rules define policies and settings for antivirus, SSL inspection, sandboxing, IPS, QoS, web filtering, and app control. The XG Firewall uses deep-learning technology in the Sophos Sandstorm solution to catch previously unseen malware. We use the best technology from industry-leading, next-generation endpoint protection solutions. And we use exploit prevention to identify malware exploits and ransomware before they get onto your network.
• Better management and reporting – Our XG Firewall solution provides fully integrated, on-box reporting and log storage, and we use high-performance SSDs at no extra charge to you. We also provide free Sophos Central management to manage your firewalls along with all your IT security products, such as endpoint, server, mobile, and wireless.

• Sophos XG Firewall provides comprehensive next-generation firewall protection that exposes hidden risks, blocks unknown threats, and automatically responds to incidents.
  Exposes hidden risks
  Sophos XG Firewall provides unprecedented visibility into top risk users, unknown apps, advanced threats, suspicious payloads and much more. You also get rich on-box reporting included at no extra charge and the option to add Sophos iView for centralized reporting across multiple firewalls.
  Blocks unknown threats
  Sophos XG Firewall provides all the latest advanced technology you need to protect your network from ransomware and advanced threats including top-rated IPS, Advanced Threat Protection, Cloud Sandboxing, Dual AV, Web and App Control, Email Protection and a fullfeatured Web Application Firewall. And it's easy to setup and manage.
  Automatically responds to incidents
  XG Firewall is the only network security solution that is able to fully identify the source of an infection on your network and automatically limit access to other network resources in response. This is made possible with our unique Sophos Security Heartbeat™ that shares telemetry and health status between Sophos endpoints and your firewall.
  Potent, powerful ... fast
  We've engineered XG Firewall to deliver outstanding performance and security efficiency for the best return on your investment. Our appliances are built using Intel multi-core technology, solid-state drives, and accelerated in-memory content scanning. In addition, Sophos FastPath packet optimization technology ensures you'll always get maximum throughput.
  Simply manage multiple firewalls
  Sophos Central is the ultimate cloud-management platform - for all your Sophos products. It makes day-to-day setup, monitoring, and management of your XG Firewall easy. It also provides helpful features such as alerting, backup management, one-click firmware updates and rapid provisioning of new firewalls. Optionally, Sophos Firewall Manager (SFM) provides powerful multi-device management tools for easy provisioning of consistent policies across your entire estate. And if you also want to consolidate reporting across multiple XG, SG, and Cyberoam appliances you can easily do that with Sophos iView.
  Security features you can't get anywhere else
  XG Firewall includes a number of innovations that not only make your job a lot easier, but also ensure your network is more secure.
  Synchronized Security
  An industry first, Synchronized Security links your endpoints and your firewall to enable unique insights and coordination. Security Heartbeat™ relays Endpoint health status and enables your firewall to immediately identify and respond to a compromised system on your network. The firewall can isolate systems until they can be investigated and cleaned up. Another Synchronized Security feature, Synchronized App Control, also enables the firewall to query the endpoint to determine the source of unknown traffic on the network.
  Unified Firewall Rules
  User identity takes enforcement to a whole new layer with our identity based policy technology enabling user level controls over applications, bandwidth and other network resources regardless of IP-address, location, network or device. It literally takes firewall policy to a whole new layer.
