Synchronized Security

An industry first, Synchronized Security links your endpoints and your firewall to enable unique insights and coordination. Security Heartbeat™ relays Endpoint health status and enables your firewall to immediately identify and respond to a compromised system on your network. The firewall can isolate systems until they can be investigated and cleaned up. Another Synchronized Security feature, Synchronized App Control, also enables the firewall to query the endpoint to determine the source of unknown traffic on the network.

Unified Firewall Rules

User identity takes enforcement to a whole new layer with our identity-based policy technology enabling user level controls over applications, bandwidth, and other network resources regardless of IP-address, location, network, or device. It literally takes firewall policy to a whole new layer.

A Firewall That Thinks Like You

Pre-defined policy templates let you protect common applications like Microsoft Exchange or SharePoint quickly and easily. Simply select them from a list, provide some basic information and the template takes care of the rest. It sets all the inbound/outbound firewall rules and security settings for you automatically – displaying the final policy in a statement in plain English.

Insights into Top Risk Users

The Sophos User Threat Quotient (UTQ) indicator is a unique feature that provides actionable intelligence on user behavior. Our firewall correlates each user’s surfing habits and activity with advanced threat triggers and history to identify users with risk-prone behavior.

Flexible deployment, no compromise

Unlike our competitors, whether you choose hardware, software, virtual, or Microsoft Azure, we don’t make you compromise – every feature is available on every model and form-factor.
