Sophos XG Firewall Announcement

It seems everyone is talking about NextGen technology in the firewall but when you take a closer look it really doesn't compare with what Sophos has been working on with their Sophos XG Firewall.

Yesterday they announced the release of their new operating system on the XG series that incorporates a connection between the Firewall Protection and your Endpoint Protection on your desktops and mobile devices. This is a two pronged approach that hasn't been encorporated before that makes Sophos unique in the security business.

Highlights include:

• Network Security Control Center. The innovative interface delivers instant network and threat intelligence so users can take action fast.
• Sophos Firewall Manager. Full-featured centralized management that’s FREE for partners and managed service providers.
• XG Series Appliances. A comprehensive range with options for every customer, including the new entry-level XG 85(w) and XG 750 high-end models.
• Security Heartbeat. This unique capability links firewall and endpoint for the very first time, letting them share intelligence and enhance protection against advanced threats.

Sophos XG Firewall and Sophos Security Heartbeat™ will revolutionize the way we think about todays complete security solution!
