Description

Sophos Intercept X and the 10 questions you need to answer

The Sophos XGS series is now simply, Sophos Firewall. They have new, powerful Xstream Flow processors, including the XGS 107 and XGS 107W. These multi-core processors just make everything faster. Including the heavy-lift security functions like…

TLS 1.3 Inspection

According to the latest statistics, approximately 90% of web traffic is encrypted. Problem is, encryption makes traffic invisible to most firewalls. As a result, many organizations simply don’t use the SSL Inspection features on their firewalls. The concern is that SSL Inspection will impact performance, and thus user experience. Predictably, an increasing amount of malware is taking advantage of this fact.

The Sophos XGS 107W firewall now removes the blind spots caused by encrypted traffic. The speedy new processors allow you to use SSL Inspection without sacrificing speed and efficiency.

Deep Packet Inspection

Sophos believes you shouldn’t have to choose between security and performance. So, Sophos Firewall includes a fast Deep Packet Inspection engine. It scans your traffic without using a proxy, which tends to slow things down. The inspection processing goes completely to the DPI engine. This reduces latency. In other words, it speeds things up.

Application Acceleration

Of course, let’s not forget that a lot of your network traffic is important application traffic. Traffic that should be there, headed for branch offices, remote users, and so on. This trusted traffic can now be directed to FastPath, which will optimize performance further. This provides extra capacity for intelligently scanning traffic that does need DPI for malware and other threats.

Sophos XGS 107 and XGS 107W firewall specs

The XG 107 is a desktop appliance, but there will be a rack mount unit available. The XGS 107 pushes 7 Gbps total Firewall Throughput, and 2 Gbps Firewall IMIX. IPS Throughput is 1.355 Gbps, Threat Protection Throughput is 330 Mbps, and Xstream SSL/TLS Inspection is 420 Mbps. The wireless interface is 802.11ac.

You can expect the XGS series to truly be carefree “install and forget” firewalls. As long as you maintain firmware upgrades, the standard installation does an excellent job.

From setting up business rules to access points to Remote Ethernet Devices, Sophos has always offered an ease-of-use that is nearly unmatched. This appliance is very suitable for small-to medium-sized businesses and remote branch offices. Any firewall designed for this kind of use case has to be easy to fire up, figure out, and forget about.

After all, it’s built for organizations that may not have tons of resources to throw at IT staff and security, but that nevertheless deserve first-rate protection.
