Sophos DNS Protection is now available

Sophos is announced in mid June that they have added DNS Protection as part of their Xstream Protection to licensed Firewall customers.

Sophos DNS Protection is a valuable service that enhances network security. Here’s what you get:

  • Malicious Domain Blocking: Sophos DNS Protection instantly blocks access to unsafe and unwanted domains across all ports, protocols, and applications. It covers both managed and unmanaged devices, providing an extra layer of security.
  • Real-Time Threat Intelligence: Backed by SophosLabs’ AI-powered threat intelligence, it offers real-time protection from high-risk domains. When a malicious domain is detected, this information is instantly shared across all customers, ensuring immediate protection for everyone1.
  • Easy Deployment: You can set up Sophos DNS Protection in just a few minutes. It’s a cloud-based service managed via Sophos Central.
  • Policy Controls: You can configure policies to control domain categories or specific domain lists. This allows you to tailor the protection to your organization’s needs.
  • Visibility and Reporting: The service provides comprehensive dashboarding and reporting, giving you insights into the domains visited from your network.
  • Integration: Sophos DNS Protection’s log data and intelligence are shared with other Sophos products, enhancing overall threat detection and response.

Remember, it’s available at no extra charge for Sophos Firewall customers with the Xstream Protection bundle. So, it’s a win-win in terms of security and cost savings!
