help Sophos Firewall FAQ

What is Sophos Firewall designed to protect?

Sophos Firewall inspects network traffic across multiple layers and provides functions such as intrusion prevention, application control, web filtering, VPN, and threat intelligence. It is intended to protect business networks rather than replace every endpoint security control.

Which hardware runs Sophos Firewall?

Sophos Firewall is available on Sophos XGS appliances and can also be deployed in supported virtual or cloud environments. The operating system and feature set are commonly associated with SFOS, the Sophos Firewall Software platform.

Can Sophos Firewall control applications and encrypted traffic?

It includes application-control features and can inspect selected encrypted traffic when the organization configures the required certificates and policies. That inspection can improve visibility, but it must be planned carefully because it affects privacy, performance, and application compatibility.

Does Sophos Firewall work with Sophos Central?

Supported deployments can be managed or monitored through Sophos Central, depending on the product version and licensing. The integration is useful when a business already uses Sophos endpoint, wireless, or cloud security products.
