The Firewall Product Team here at Sophos has been hard at work on the latest firewall release. It\u2019s loaded with innovations, such as the all-new Xstream packet processing architecture and AI Threat Intelligence protection from zero-day threats.<\/p>\n

Xstream Architecture<\/h2>\n

The Xstream packet processing architecture delivers new levels of visibility, protection and performance.<\/p>\n

The new architecture has three major components:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Xstream DPI Engine<\/strong> – High-performance deep packet threat protection for AV, IPS, Web, App Control and SSL Inspection in a single proxy-less streaming engine.<\/li>\n
  2. Xstream SSL Inspection<\/strong> – Industry-leading performance, flexibility and transparency into all SSL\/TLS-encrypted traffic, including support for TLS 1.3 across all ports and applications.<\/li>\n
  3. Xstream Network Flow FastPath<\/strong> – Automatic and policy-based intelligent offloading of trusted traffic processing delivered at wire speed to ensure your trusted, mission-critical traffic is always on the fast path.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Threat Intelligence Analysis<\/h2>\n

    Another addition to v18 is Threat Intelligence Analysis, which is powered by SophosLabs and our deep learning technology. Using a range of threat modelling techniques to analyze files being downloaded or arriving in emails, this feature identifies and stops the latest zero-day threats before they get on the network.<\/p>\n

    Threat Intelligence Analysis also provides rich reporting and insights into the types of files entering your network with a quick overview in the form of a visual Threatometer (as shown below) as well as a comprehensive detailed reporting.<\/p>\n

    Full List of What\u2019s New<\/h2>\n

    Your top requested features and many other enhancements related to SD-WAN, networking, firewall rule management, notifications and alerts, and many more have been packed into v18. Take a look at the full list of the features<\/a> and details.<\/p>\n

    Targeted Timeline:<\/h2>\n

    The Early Access Program (EAP) is expected to kick of for all Sophos customers and partners later this month. To provide everyone with a fantastic EAP experience the team is working hard to ensure the features in the initial EAP release are rock solid, so we appreciate your patience.<\/p>\n

    The XG Firewall v18 Early Access Program will have multiple phases over the coming months, with some features, noted in the What\u2019s New Overview<\/a>, delivered as part of later EAP phases.<\/p>\n

    We hope you are as excited about this new XG Firewall release as we are.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
