Sophos Firewall

Sophos Firewall (formerly XG Firewall) is a highly aggressive, deeply innovative, and fiercely modern security platform that has gained massive traction by fundamentally altering how firewalls talk to the rest of the network. While traditional firewalls sit at the perimeter and guess if a computer is infected, Sophos pioneered the concept of "Synchronized Security." The absolute core differentiator of Sophos is the "Security Heartbeat." If a company uses Sophos Firewall and Sophos Endpoint Protection (Antivirus) on their laptops, the firewall and the laptops constantly talk to each other. If a laptop in the HR department gets hit with ransomware, the laptop instantly alerts the firewall. The Sophos Firewall immediately, automatically isolates that specific laptop from the network, preventing the ransomware from spreading to the main servers, with zero human intervention required. Furthermore, Sophos provides an incredibly clean, modern cloud management dashboard (Sophos Central) and deep visibility into hidden applications operating on the network. For IT teams that want their firewall, antivirus, and email security to operate as a single, highly automated, self-healing nervous system, Sophos provides an unparalleled ecosystem.
