  • Flexible web filtering

     

    Sophos Firewall provides an intuitive web policy model that you typically only find in dedicated enterprise web filtering products that cost much more. It makes managing multiple user- and group-based custom policies a breeze. Sophos Firewall correlates each user’s surfing habits and activity with advanced threat triggers and history to identify undesirable online behavior.

  • Child safety and compliance

     

    Sophos Firewall provides built-in features and policy settings that help organizations become compliant with local regulations quickly and easily. Sophos Firewall includes built-in policies for CIPA and predefined activities, such as “not suitable for schools,” as well as features like SafeSearch, YouTube restrictions, and keyword filtering to enable child safety online.

  • Pinpoint behavior problems early

     

    With Sophos Firewall you can identify potentially problematic behavior right away. Sophos Firewall can log, monitor, and even enforce keyword-based policies related to bullying, radicalization, or self-harm, for example. You can schedule reports to identify users at risk and get details about their activities, including what and where they’re posting or what sites they’re visiting.
