Active Threat Response

Every network has firewalls, endpoints, switches, and Wi-Fi. ​

​Why not get them talking to each other:​

  • To share user, application, and threat information
  • Automatically respond to threats
  • Prevent lateral movement

Sophos Firewall works with other Sophos products to coordinate an automated response to active adversaries to stop attacks before they become a problem.

Getting Better and Faster​

Our software and hardware-accelerated architecture is programmable, allowing us to enhance performance, protection, or both with each significant firmware update. While most firewalls get slower over time, Sophos Firewall is getting better and faster —without having to upgrade your hardware.​
