UNMATCHED SECURITY AND SPEED
The XGS Series appliances from Sophos, equipped with dedicated Xstream Flow Processors, offer unparalleled application acceleration, high-performance TLS inspection, and robust threat defense. The XStream architecture of Sophos Firewall is meticulously designed to provide exceptional visibility, protection, and performance, tackling some of the most significant challenges network administrators face today.
TLS 1.3 Inspection
Recent statistics reveal that about 90% of web traffic is encrypted, rendering it invisible to most firewalls. Many types of malware and unwanted applications exploit this by taking advantage of the lack of SSL inspection in organizations. Network administrators often worry that enabling SSL inspection will degrade performance or disrupt the user experience.
Sophos Firewall addresses these concerns by eliminating blind spots from encrypted traffic, enabling SSL inspection without compromising performance efficiency.
Application Acceleration
A substantial portion of your network traffic comprises crucial business application traffic heading to branch offices, remote users, or cloud application servers. This trusted traffic, which does not require extra security scanning for threats or malware, can be intelligently routed to the FastPath, minimizing latency and enhancing overall performance. This approach creates additional capacity for traffic that does require deep packet inspection.
Sophos Firewall boosts the performance of your SaaS, SD-WAN, and cloud traffic, including VoIP, video, and other trusted applications, either automatically or through your own policies. This is achieved by utilizing the new Xstream Flow Processors to route them through the FastPath.
Deep Packet Inspection
We believe you should never have to choose between security and performance. Sophos Firewall features a high-speed deep packet inspection (DPI) engine that scans your traffic for threats without the need for a proxy, ensuring a smooth process.
The firewall stack can fully offload processing to the DPI engine, dramatically reducing latency and enhancing overall efficiency. Sophos Firewall defends against the latest ransomware and breaches with high-performance streaming DPI, incorporating next-gen IPS, web protection, and application control, as well as deep learning and sandboxing powered by SophosLabs Intelix.
