Enhanced Visibility and Control with Sophos XG Firewall

Sophos XG Firewall stands out as one of the most advanced network security solutions in the industry. With its ability to provide deep insights into network traffic, sophisticated threat detection, and streamlined management, it has become a core component of many security-conscious businesses.

At Nextware, we help businesses take full advantage of the Sophos XG Firewall by delivering the following benefits:

  • Synchronized Security: Sophos XG Firewall works seamlessly with other Sophos products to provide synchronized security, a feature that shares real-time information between the firewall and endpoints. By configuring your firewall to interact with Sophos’ endpoint protection solutions, Nextware ensures that you have a coordinated defense system where security breaches are detected and addressed in real-time across the entire network.
  • Web Filtering and Application Control: Nextware configures web filtering policies to restrict access to inappropriate or harmful websites, while the application control feature allows businesses to block or limit access to certain applications. This granular level of control ensures that your employees stay productive while your network remains secure.
  • Deep Packet Inspection (DPI): Sophos XG Firewall performs DPI to inspect the contents of network traffic beyond just headers, helping to identify threats and anomalies that might slip through traditional firewalls. Nextware ensures that DPI is properly configured to protect against encrypted threats, malware, and zero-day attacks.
  • Sandboxing and Threat Intelligence: Sophos’ powerful Sandstorm sandboxing technology isolates and analyzes suspicious files to detect zero-day malware and other sophisticated attacks. At Nextware, we ensure that this feature is fully operational, adding an extra layer of protection to your network.

Optimized for Remote Work and Secure Connectivity

With the increasing shift towards remote work, it’s essential to ensure that remote users are securely connected to the corporate network. Sophos firewalls provide strong VPN capabilities, allowing employees to access company resources securely from any location.

Nextware configures and manages secure VPNs using Sophos XG Firewall’s advanced features:

  • SSL and IPsec VPNs: Nextware sets up SSL and IPsec VPNs for secure remote access, ensuring your employees can work securely from home or on the go. These VPNs are critical for businesses with distributed teams or multiple office locations.
  • Secure SD-WAN: For businesses with multiple branches or locations, Nextware configures Sophos’ secure SD-WAN capabilities, providing reliable, encrypted connectivity across all sites. Sophos SD-WAN intelligently routes traffic across the best available paths, ensuring optimized performance and security for your remote offices.

Advanced Threat Protection and Zero Trust Security

In an era of sophisticated cyber threats, implementing a Zero Trust security model has become a necessity. With the Sophos XG Firewall, Nextware helps businesses adopt this model by enforcing strong access controls and multi-factor authentication (MFA) across the network.

  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Nextware configures Zero Trust policies to ensure that only authenticated and authorized users can access sensitive resources. By leveraging Sophos XG Firewall’s ZTNA features, we protect your organization from lateral movement and unauthorized access attempts.
  • Real-Time Threat Intelligence: Nextware integrates Sophos firewalls with threat intelligence feeds, allowing your network to be protected by the latest global threat data. This ensures that your firewall stays updated with emerging threats and trends, providing proactive defense.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): To further strengthen security, Nextware enables MFA on your Sophos firewall and VPN configurations. This adds an additional layer of authentication, ensuring that only verified users can access critical systems and data.

Sophos Central is a cloud-based management platform that allows businesses to monitor and manage all of their Sophos security products from a single console. Nextware helps you leverage Sophos Central to streamline your security operations, making it easy to stay on top of threats, update policies, and ensure compliance.
