Active Threat Response

Stop active threats dead in their tracks

Sophos Firewall with Active Threat Response will not only identify and block threats on your network but also coordinate an automated response. Sophos Active Threat Response uses threat intelligence from SophosLabs, Sophos MDR analysts, or third-party sources to identify any active threat operating on your network and block it instantly.

Your firewall will then use Sophos Synchronized Security™ to coordinate with other Sophos products, such as Sophos Endpoint/Intercept X and Sophos ZTNA, and further isolate the threat to prevent lateral movement. You’ll reduce your response time from hours or minutes to seconds, stopping threats before they can spread.

  • Automatically identify and block active threats
  • Prevent the lateral movement of attacks
  • Deliver immediate insights into compromised devices, users, and applications

Unrivaled performance

The XGS Series of next-gen firewall appliances delivers Sophos Xstream-accelerated performance at every price point to power the protection you need for today’s diverse, distributed, and encrypted networks.

High-speed connectivity

Customize your firewall’s already versatile networking options with an extensive range of add-on modules for high-speed copper, fiber, Power over Ethernet (PoE), 5G, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
