Context-aware Keyword Filtering
With Sophos Firewall you can identify potentially problematic behavior early on. Sophos Firewall can log, monitor, or even enforce policies related to keyword lists 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 are posting or what sites they are visiting.
Eliminate an Enormous Blind Spot
TLS Inspection that just works – fast.
Sophos Firewall’s Xstream TLS Inspection solves this problem once and for all – so you can now fully enable TLS Inspection without compromising on performance, protection, privacy, and user experience.
Identify Risky Users
With unique features you can’t get anywhere else.
Sophos Firewall helps you identify your top risk users based on recent web activity and threat and infection history. A user’s risk score can be an indication of unintentional actions due to a lack of security awareness or the sign of a rogue or negligent user.
Sophos Firewall offers the most extensive set of user authentication options available on any firewall, including Active Directory integration, Chromebook support, and even our unique and easy-to-use Synchronized User ID solution that makes user identity completely transparent and trouble-free.
Identify Tunneling and Evasive Applications
Sophos Firewall’s Synchronized Security Endpoint Integration identifies all unknown, evasive, and custom applications running on your network so you can easily identify rogue applications like Psiphon and block them.
How It Works
- Synchronized Application Control is activated whenever there is unidentified app traffic on the network.
- Intercept X shares the application path and executable with Sophos firewall through Security Heartbeat™.
- Sophos Firewall can automatically classify the new app and you can change its category any time.
- The new application can now be controlled by policy to block, throttle, or prioritize it.
