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 - for no extra charge.
Active threat response
Sophos Firewall is unique in supporting 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 also unique in that it is continuously communicating and sharing information with other Sophos products to automatically respond when a threat is identified by coordinating with Sophos Endpoints, Sophos Workspace Protection, and Sophos Email to isolate an attack and prevent any lateral movement until it’s cleaned up.
Consolidate, Simplify, and Save
Sophos Firewall is the heart of thew world’s best network security platform.
Consolidate your network security and enable work from anywhere with a complete portfolio of network infrastructure, SD-WAN, and Workspace Protection for hybrid and remote workers.

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.
Sophos Firewall includes more than any other firewall
With the Xstream Protection bundle on Sophos Firewall, you get a several capabilities that other vendors don’t even offer, or charge extra for:
Secure by Design | Sophos Firewall is the most secure firewall on the market with unique features like automated hotfixes, health check for misconfiguration, and proactive monitoring by Sophos for signs of an attack |
Leading price-per-protected-Mbps | The best price-per-protected-Mbps in every model of our XGS Series means you’re getting the best bang-for-your-buck and the best value. With our programable Xstream Architecture your performance and protection will actually improve over time – without upgrading your hardware - rather than degrade. |
AI-powered zero-day detection | Sophos continues to lead in leveraging advanced AI for detections across several vectors including on-box DPI scanning, cloud-based NDR analysis, static file analysis, and dynamic sandboxing. |
ZTNA gateway | An integrated ZTNA gateway enables you to easily deploy ZTNA (included in Sophos Workspace Protection) to your remote and hybrid workers to securely access internal resources without deploying anything extra |
Comprehensive SD-WAN | Sophos Firewall integrates a complete SD-WAN solution with powerful point-and-click orchestration tools, and flexible link management, including performance based zero-impact fail-over |
DNS Protection | Sophos Firewall integrates our global DNS protection service to provide an added layer of web protection across all ports, protocols and applications. |
NDR | NDR is an advanced AI-powered detection solution that is normally found only in enterprise XDR deployments so to get that included with your firewall is unheard of – until now. Sophos Firewall includes an NDR cloud analysis capability to detect threats that would otherwise be missed – a capability that no other firewall offers. |
Cross-product automation and Synchronized Security | Sophos is a pioneer in cross-product automation and response to active threats – able to automatically isolate a compromised host across firewall, endpoint, switch, wireless, email, and workspace protection. No one makes automated response easier than Sophos. |
MDR and XDR Integration | Sophos Firewall is unique in being a fully “MDR-ready” firewall by not only providing unmatched telemetry but also enabling Active Threat Response for analysts to shut down identified threats immediately without having to setup firewall rules. |
Cloud management and reporting | You get streamlined secure cloud management to manage all your Sophos Firewalls and other Sophos Products with features like zero-touch deployment included - it’s like a force multiplier for your team. |
