Last month we introduced XG Firewall v18 with the new Xstream architecture, which takes visibility, protection, and performance to extreme new levels.<\/p>\n

It’s the biggest release ever for XG Firewall customers, but it\u2019s also exciting news for anyone running Sophos Intercept X Endpoint.<\/p>\n

Why, you may ask?<\/p>\n

Well, we know that Sophos Intercept X and XG Firewall are both world class products in their own right, but they were actually designed to work better together.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The two solutions work as a synchronized security system, sharing information in real time and responding automatically to threats.<\/p>\n

If you are already running Intercept X, adding XG Firewall not only gets you an industry-leading next-gen firewall, but also transforms your IT security and gives you tremendous benefits as part of an integrated cybersecurity ecosystem.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

Adding XG Firewall to your Intercept X endpoint protection enables Synchronized Security. This provides a vital Security Heartbeat\u2122 connection between all your Sophos endpoints and XG Firewall allowing them to communicate and share information in real-time.\u00a0 And it\u2019s all managed from the Sophos Central cloud console.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for you?<\/h2>\n

It allows you to elevate your protection and put your network on autopilot, and reduces the need for day-to-day management.<\/p>\n

Automate your protection<\/h3>\n

When either XG Firewall or Intercept X identifies a threat, they work together to provide an automatic response with dynamic firewall rules and lateral movement protection isolating a compromised host to prevent spread, hacker communication, and data loss.<\/p>\n

Transform visibility and accelerate performance<\/h3>\n

Get deeper visibility into top network risks and all networked applications to drive better security decisions, prioritize and accelerate important application traffic, and block or shape unwanted traffic.<\/p>\n

Lower time, effort and TCO<\/h3>\n

Put your network on auto-pilot and manage it all from Sophos Central. Its streamlined cloud management platform consolidates all your alerts, reporting and policy management in one place.<\/p>\n

Easily add Synchronized Security to your network<\/h2>\n

Whether your existing firewall is up for replacement or not, you can easily enable Synchronized Security to your network.<\/p>\n

Sophos XG Firewall acts as the nerve-center for synchronizing your security either as a purpose-built synchronized security appliance that works alongside your current firewall, or as an industry leading replacement for your next-gen Firewall.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re already an XG Firewall customer, easily add Sophos Intercept X endpoint protection to your computers, servers, and mobile devices to unlock the full potential of your XG Firewall.<\/p>\n

Either way, you can manage it all from a single cloud console with Sophos Central. It\u2019s easy and risk free.<\/p>\n
