Many of you have already upgraded your firewalls, but for those that haven\u2019t, now is the time!<\/p>\n<p>You will see the update waiting for you in Sophos Central, or in the web admin console as soon as you log in. Make sure you update your firewalls soon, not just to take advantage of the many new features, but also to ensure you have the latest security, performance, and reliability fixes that are in every release.<\/p>\n<p>Check out what\u2019s new in this short video overview:<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-vimeo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/878802542\" width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Sophos ZTNA is now on Sophos Firewall<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93561 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FW-ZTNA.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FW-ZTNA.png 1920w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FW-ZTNA.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FW-ZTNA.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FW-ZTNA.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/news.sophos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FW-ZTNA.png?resize=1536,864 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>That\u2019s right! In case you didn\u2019t know, Sophos Firewall v20 integrates a ZTNA gateway directly into the firewall, making ZTNA deployments easier than ever.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a simple decision to switch from remote access VPN to ZTNA. ZTNA provides better security, easier management, and a much smoother and more reliable end-user experience. And with a ZTNA gateway integrated into Sophos Firewall, customers don\u2019t need to deploy anything extra on site to enable secure remote access to systems and applications hosted behind the firewall.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about ZTNA and how it can help you secure your applications and remote access, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/sophos.com\/ztna\">Sophos.com\/ZTNA<\/a>.

Ideal for use with remote sites that frequently or rapidly change dynamic IP addresses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Configurable suppression of repetitive alerts<\/strong> changes alert priorities and sets limits on how frequently repetitive alerts should be raised. Use this to suppress normally noisy alerts, keeping them from cluttering your inbox and alert counts in Sophos Central.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automatic rollback of firmware detection.<\/strong> SFOS v20 and up now supports automatic firmware rollback when it detects that an update was not completely successful. Sophos Central will now detect and alert on firmware rollback events, should they occur.<\/p>\n<p>Plus: other cosmetic changes to match ATP feature naming changes in SFOS v20.
