Sophos Xstream Protection

In this day and age of advancing cyber threats, securing your network requires advanced measures. That's where Sophos Xstream Protection comes in. It goes far beyond the features of a standard firewall and provides you with advanced layers of security. While the base license provides basic functionality, Sophos Xstream Protection unlocks its full potential by unlocking a range of advanced features. With Sophos Xstream Protection, you are well equipped to protect against increasingly complex cyber threats. Rely on Sophos Xstream Protection to secure your network in the ever-changing cyber landscape.

Key feature

Network Protection - This license provides top-notch protection for your network.

  • Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): This security module continuously monitors network traffic, including traffic between internal networks (VLANs). SSL/TLS Inspection integration enables IPS to scan decrypted traffic. When suspicious activities or attack patterns are detected, they are blocked immediately to ensure network security and data safety.
  • Advanced Threat Protection (ATP): Analyzes incoming and outgoing network traffic for threats. ATP allows you to detect compromised clients on your network and log or block traffic from these devices.
  • VPN enables secure connections for remote workstations and site-to-site networking via IPsec or SSLVPN. With VPN, employees can access corporate resources securely and efficiently from anywhere.
  • SD-WAN: optimizes network performance by intelligently leveraging multiple WAN links, maximizing bandwidth and minimizing latency. Unlike expensive MPLS lines, SD-WAN or the SD-RED VPN provides a simple and cost-effective way to establish and manage secure connections between multiple sites.
  • DoS & DDoS Protection: These security mechanisms detect and fend off overload attacks as well as targeted sabotage attempts aimed at crippling your IT infrastructure. Constant monitoring and real-time intervention of your network keeps it available and performing in critical situations.
  • Synchronized Security and the Security Heartbeat, the Sophos Firewall combined with Network Protection provides efficient communication between Sophos security solutions. These mechanisms improve the efficiency of threat detection and response by sharing security information between endpoints and network products.
  • Xstream TLS Inspection: This allows Sophos Firewall to inspect encrypted traffic to identify potential threats. This makes it possible to detect and block dangerous content hidden in encrypted connections without compromising the user's privacy.
  • Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) analyzes all network traffic, not just header information, to detect threats. Detection of malware, malicious applications, and other risks improves network security and enables targeted security policy adjustments. By using DPI in your Sophos Firewall, you can strengthen your defenses against cyberattacks.

Key feature

Web Protection - Decrypt, Monitor, Control and Analyze Internet Traffic

  • URL filtering: This security measure blocks access to dangerous or non-compliant websites. SophosLabs makes it possible to use an extensive database of millions of websites to ensure that users are kept away from malicious content.
  • Synchronized App Control: This innovative feature is part of Sophos's Synchronized Security. It enables detection, classification and control of unknown applications on the network. Seamless information sharing between different Sophos products allows network anomalies to be detected more quickly and responded to accordingly.
  • Xstream TLS Inspection: At a time when more and more web traffic is encrypted, Xstream TLS Inspection ensures that organizations are not blind to threats. It decrypts, analyzes and re-encrypts SSL/TLS traffic while maintaining user privacy and security. This ensures that encrypted threats do not go undetected.
  • Traffic shaping for web and applications: Traffic shaping and QoS tools in Sophos Web Protection enable organizations to use network resources efficiently. Targeted prioritization of traffic can optimize critical business applications and restrict non-essential traffic as needed.
  • Web Control: This tool provides unprecedented control over users' web access. An extensive URL filtering database and detailed filtering options allow organizations to target web access, improving both security and productivity.
  • Protection against web threats: Sophos Web Protection arms businesses against a wide range of online threats. From viruses to unwanted applications, the solution protects networks and users from malicious attacks and ensures they are protected in the ever-changing cyber threat environment.
  • Dual Engine Antivirus: Sophos Web Protection uses both its own and a second, independent malware detection engine from Avira. This ensures that all downloaded data is thoroughly scanned for any malware.
  • Content Control: Organizations can restrict or block the download of specific file types based on security and business requirements, with control based on file type, extension, and active content types.
  • Phishing Protection: Protection against pharming attacks is essential. Sophos Web Protection ensures that users are not redirected to fake websites that could steal their personal data.
  • HTTPS Scanning: Since much of the web traffic is encrypted, it is important to scan this traffic for threats. Sophos offers Xstream TLS Inspection to analyze encrypted traffic without compromising user security or privacy.
  • Application Control: This technology works at layer 7 level and detects and controls the data traffic of applications. Organizations can prioritize network traffic, block unwanted applications and optimize bandwidth usage to ensure a smooth network experience.
  • Time-based Web Browsing: IT administrators can use this feature to control users' web access based on schedules. Companies can set surfing time limits by user or group to ensure that the Internet is used productively during working hours.
  • Reporting: Sophos Web Protection's comprehensive reporting capabilities provide organizations with valuable insight into web and application activity. Detailed logs and analytics visualize web access, application usage, and detected threats, enabling IT managers to make informed decisions and continuously optimize security strategy.

Key feature

Zero-Day Protection

Sophos Zero-Day Protection is not just an additional license, but a critical component of a robust, multi-layered security architecture. This license supplements your Sophos Firewall with additional protection mechanisms against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and zero-day malware, especially in the area of web and email protection.

  • Next-generation sandboxing: Isolates and analyzes unknown threats in a cloud-based sandbox to assess their risk.
  • Real-time JavaScript emulation and behavioral analysis: These mechanisms provide advanced detection capabilities that traditional security solutions often do not offer.
  • SophosLabs Intelix Integration: Suspicious downloads and email attachments are analyzed through a combination of machine learning, sandboxing and research.
  • Full system emulation: A deep understanding of the behavior of unknown malware enables the detection of threats that other solutions may miss.

Threat analysis process: When a user downloads a file or the email engine (MTA) of the Sophos Firewall recognizes a file attachment in an email, a hash of the file is first created and sent to Sophos. If the file is already known to be secure or insecure, the result is immediately reported back to the firewall and the download or e-mail attachment is handled accordingly. If the file is unknown, it is sent to Sophos Labs Intelix for further analysis. There it is analyzed in a sandbox. The check is only carried out for supported file formats and files that are no larger than 10 MB. A scan can take between 10 and 15 minutes, during which time the user must wait for a web download.

Not a replacement for endpoint protection: It is important to emphasize that Sophos Zero-Day Protection is an additional layer of protection and is not a replacement for solid endpoint protection. Many customers misunderstand this and think that the firewall takes care of everything. We strongly recommend installing high-quality endpoint protection in the first instance.

With Sophos Zero-Day Protection, you can strengthen your security infrastructure and be better armed against the diverse and complex cyber threats attacking businesses today.

Key feature

Sophos Central Orchestration

SD-WAN: Sophos Central Orchestration lets you overcome the challenge of manually setting up VPN connections between multiple firewalls. The platform makes it possible to connect multiple firewalls in just a few clicks, which makes work much easier. Furthermore, it supports various network structures such as full mesh networks, hub-and-spoke models and tunnel setups. Built-in SD-WAN capabilities improve network performance and resilience, making network management both more efficient and more secure.

Central Firewall Reporting Advanced (Light) - Logs for 30 days: With the light version of Sophos Central Firewall Reporting Advanced, you get a powerful cloud-based reporting tool. It stores firewall data for 30 days and provides comprehensive insights into your network security. Get valuable insights into threats, compliance, and user activity with a variety of predefined and customizable reports.

Central MDR and XDR Connector: This feature includes the Sophos XDR and MDR Connector, which leverages firewall data for cross-product extended detection and response and provides a 24/7 managed threat response service. While Sophos MDR provides a 24/7 managed threat hunting and response service, Sophos XDR provides advanced detection and response capabilities for your own team. Your Sophos Firewall is configured to securely transmit relevant threat data to the cloud.
