Sophos XGS Next-Gen Firewalls
Powerful protection and Xstream performance at every price point — built to defend today's diverse, distributed, and encrypted networks.
Why your network needs next-gen firewall protection
Modern threats bypass traditional firewalls. Encrypted traffic blind spots, lateral movement, and zero-day attacks demand a smarter, faster approach.
90%+ Traffic is Encrypted
Most modern attacks hide inside TLS-encrypted traffic. Without deep inspection, your firewall is flying blind.
Ransomware Targets Networks
Attackers exploit lateral movement across unprotected segments. Synchronised security stops threats before they spread.
Distributed Networks Need SD-WAN
Branch offices, remote workers, and cloud workloads require integrated SD-WAN, VPN, and ZTNA in a single platform.
Why businesses choose Sophos XGS Firewalls
Xstream architecture delivers the visibility, performance, and intelligence needed to stop today's advanced threats.
Xstream Architecture
Deep packet inspection, TLS 1.3 decryption, and SaaS acceleration unified in a single high-performance streaming engine — no performance tradeoffs.
Synchronised Security
Security Heartbeat links your Sophos endpoints with the firewall to share real-time health data and automatically isolate compromised devices before threats spread.
