We’re pleased to announce the general availability of Sophos DNS Protection. This cloud-based service, managed via Sophos Central, provides an added layer of network protection and is available at no extra charge to all Xstream Protection licensed Sophos Firewall customers.<\/p>\n

Great value for Sophos Firewall customers<\/h2>\n

Sophos DNS Protection adds tremendous new value for our Sophos Firewall customers, who can take advantage of this protection at no extra charge as it\u2019s part of our Xstream Protection Bundle. It enables you to potentially consolidate and save from using another third-party DNS provider or start using a great DNS protection solution without having to pay extra.<\/p>\n

What you get: enhanced internet and web security<\/h2>\n

Sophos DNS Protection adds another layer of security to every network. It works to instantly block access to unsafe and unwanted domains across all ports, protocols, and applications at the earliest opportunity \u2013 from both managed and unmanaged devices. DNS protection perfectly complements and augments your existing network security and policy enforcement tools. Sophos DNS Protection can be deployed in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Sophos DNS Protection is a globally accessible domain name resolution service with integrated policy controls and reporting in Sophos Central. Sophos DNS Protection is backed by SophosLabs\u2019 AI-powered threat intelligence, providing real-time world-wide protection from high-risk domains. As soon as a malicious domain is discovered, it is shared across customers instantly, providing immediate protection for all.\u00a0 By using Sophos DNS Protection in place of your existing public DNS resolver, you can prevent any devices on your network from accessing domains associated with security threats and other unwanted websites controlled through policy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Sophos DNS Protection provides quick and easy policy configuration with just a few clicks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Protection for networks<\/h2>\n

Access to the Sophos DNS Resolver is based on the originating public IPv4 address of the DNS queries. Hence, protecting individual devices for remote workers that move from network to network (or site to site) is not viable at this time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dynamic IP addresses are supported when used with a dynamic DNS provider.<\/p>\n

Integrated dashboarding and reporting<\/h2>\n

Sophos DNS Protection also provides in-depth visibility into the domains visited from your network, with comprehensive dashboarding and reporting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Dashboard widgets show important statistics at a glance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Full reporting with all the same options as Central Firewall Reporting Advanced is also included:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cross-product integration<\/h2>\n

Sophos DNS Protection\u2019s log data and intelligence are also shared with the Sophos data lake for Sophos XDR and MDR threat-hunting analysts to help detect active adversaries and threats operating on the network.<\/p>\n

Getting started\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Sophos DNS Protection is available at no additional charge to all licensed Sophos Firewall customers who have the Xstream Protection bundle.<\/a> If you need to upgrade your license, speak to your Sophos partner or representative.<\/p>\n
