The Sophos XG Firewall Series
Sophos XG firewalls offer a wide range of easy to deploy, next-gen appliances to fit just about any network size – from home office to small business to enterprise. XG firewalls are noted for superior visibility into risky activity, and their ability to stop both known & unknown threats automatically. When it comes to malware and your network, they’re able to see it, stop it, & secure it. As part of a Synchronized Security Solution, Sophos XG firewalls can be managed with the Sophos Central cloud console, communicating instantaneously with your endpoints and other security solutions around the clock through the Sophos Security Heartbeat. Noted third-party evaluators like Gartner, NSS Labs, and SC Media have all recognized Sophos XG firewalls as top-of-the-class.
