Secure by Design

In the AI era, Secure by Design isn't optional — it's how you keep your network secure


Sophos Firewall is the most secure and hardened firewall on the market, with unique features like automated patching, configuration health check, and remote integrity monitoring.

Powerful Protection and Performance

Industry-leading price-per-protected-Mbps that gets better with every update.

Powered by Xstream

The Sophos Xstream architecture accelerates and offloads important traffic and crypto operations to the FastPath to maximize performance. The best part is, our architecture is programmable, so it gets new protection and performance enhancements with nearly every release.


Intelligent detection of encrypted threats

Sophos Firewall removes an enormous blind spot in your traffic, with intelligent TLS decryption that won’t slow you down. Plus, with NDR built-in, you get AI detection of encrypted threats without even having to decrypt the traffic.


AI powered zero-day threat protection

Sophos Firewall uses several AI and ML models to analyze traffic and files to identify the latest unseen threats attempting to get onto your network. Deep packet inspection, AI analysis, and dynamic sandboxing ensure you’re getting the best protection possible.

Stop active attacks dead in their tracks

The only firewall with automatic threat detection AND response.

Detect active adversaries with NDR

Sophos Firewall is the only firewall that integrates AI-powered Network Detection and Response (NDR) to detect active attacks that most other solutions miss. NDR is a product you normally only see in large enterprise networks - and we make it available to everyone in Sophos Firewall - at no extra cost.


Active Threat Response

Sophos Firewall supports a variety of Sophos and third-party threat feeds that provide actionable threat intelligence. If a threat is detected from any of these feeds, the firewall will automatically respond by blocking that device and initiating an automated cross-product Synchronized Security response.


Synchronized Security prevents lateral movement

Sophos Firewall is unique in continuously communicating and sharing information with other Sophos products to automatically respond to threats, coordinating with Sophos Endpoint, Sophos Workspace Protection, and Sophos Email to isolate attacks and prevent lateral movement until they are cleaned up.

Consolidate your cybersecurity

Sophos Firewall is much more than a firewall — it's the heart of the world's best network security platform. Consolidate and simplify your cybersecurity with a single vendor, cloud management console, and agent.

Single Management Console

Sophos Central provides a single pane of glass to manage your firewalls, network  infrastructure, workspace, and all your other cybersecurity products.

One console to manage it all

Streamline your cybersecurity management with a single cloud console for your firewalls, switches, wireless, email, endpoints, workspace protection and more.


Rich reporting and orchestration included

Most charge extra for rich reporting and dashboarding – not Sophos. You get unmatched visibility into network activity and point-and-click VPN orchestration tools to make setting up your distributed network easy.


Group firewall management and zero-touch deployment

Sophos Firewall makes it easy to keep a large distributed network in sync, with consistent protection and polices enforced system-wide. It’s also easy to extend your network with simple zero-touch deployment of either firewalls or SD-RED VPN edge devices – and we don’t charge extra for it.
