Overview:

Our purpose-built secure web gateway makes web protection simple. It provides advanced protection from today’s sophisticated web malware and gives you full control over your employees’ online activity. You can easily create policies for individuals or groups while gaining important insights into user activity on your network.

  • Protect users from new zero-day threats
  • Be up and running in just 10 minutes
  • Easily accommodates user requests and custom policies
  • Extend protection to offsite users easily
  • Email scheduled reports directly to managers
  • Deploy hardware or VMware-Ready appliances

Advanced protection from web malware

We scan all web content and block the latest web threats using advanced techniques like javascript emmulation and behavioral analysis. These techniques help us detect malicious web code before it reaches your browser. It also prevents infected systems from calling home with sensitive data. And, unlike other web filters, you can scan all HTTP and HTTPS web traffic without slowing your users down.

Customizable URL Filtering boosts productivity

Our continuously updated database contains billions of pages in 56 categories. This lets you create safe web browsing policies, minimizing legal concerns around inappropriate content and maximize productivity. Easily set up policy by user or group using a variety of authentication options including SSO with Active Directory or eDirectory and even using our new captive portal for shared systems or mobile devices.

Control rogue users and enforce safe search

We not only block common anonymizing proxy sites, but also offer the ability to dynamically identify proxy abuse in real-time. Put a stop to rogue users attempting to bypass your policy using home-based or obscure proxies. You can also activate safe search and even monitor inappropriate search terms to keep your environment safe.

Rich reporting provides unrivalled insight

You get detailed reports as standard, stored locally with no separate products or appliances required. Predefined and customizable reports with extensive drill-down capabilities show key web activity like domains visited and bandwidth consumed.

Extend your protection everywhere

Add Sophos Endpoints to extend your protection everywhere your users go. Our unique endpoint integration packs the full power of our web appliance into the Sophos Endpoint. You get full web malware protection and policy enforcement off the network with no need to backhaul traffic or use a VPN. Policy and reporting syncs between endpoints and the gateway through the cloud, while the Sophos Endpoint agent performs scanning and enforcement.

Features:

Dedicated or UnifiedDedicated or Unified

With Sophos, you have your choice of a dedicated purpose-built web appliance, or a secure web gateway integrated into your UTM.

Our Sophos Web Appliance is ideal if you want an appliance dedicated to web security with streamlined workflow and policy tools. However, if you’re interested in consolidating your network security into a single appliance, our UTM with integrated web protection is for you.

Both offer all the great features below, including our unique Web and Endpoint integration to provide complete web protection everywhere.

Deep Layer-7 inspection identifies over 900 applications. And, you'll get feedback on unclassified applications too.

Monitor your web traffic in real time. In just a couple clicks you can maximize the bandwidth for what’s important, and minimize it for what’s not. For example, you can control YouTube and Facebook while accelerating Salesforce.


Protection Everywhere

Our endpoint protection integrates with both our Sophos Web Appliances and UTMs, providing a unique and elegant solution for protection everywhere.

We’ve integrated the full power of our web protection into our endpoints. When users leave the office, they’re fully protected on the web without having to backhaul or use a VPN to get online safely.

Simple ManagementSimple Management

At Sophos, simplicity is our mantra. You’ll have complete control over all the security features you need all in one place, with none of the complexity.

We've invested heavily in streamlining our interface. This way you won't have to reach for the manual every time you need to update a policy or change a setting. So you're never more than a couple clicks from completing your task.


Complete On-Box Reporting

Complete On-Box Reporting

Our built-in reporting means you’ll know exactly what's happening with your users. Fix problems fast and shape your policies, keeping your users secure while boosting network performance. And, you get detailed reports as standard, stored locally with no separate tools required.

At-a-glance flow graphs show usage trends with predefined and customizable reports, providing key web activity. Report anonymization hides user names, requiring the four-eyes-principle to unhide them.
