As a Sophos Firewall customer, your security remains our utmost priority. We’ve relentlessly focused on ensuring Sophos Firewall remains the industry’s safest option, continuously striving to outsmart hackers by setting an impossibly high bar, all while safeguarding your network and team with proactive monitoring that anticipates potential threats.
Our commitment to safety shines through in the following initiatives that demonstrate our dedication to building Sophos Firewall with security at its core:
Greatest practices in-built
Our goal is to ensure that your firewall’s security posture is optimally configured from inception, leveraging best practices for seamless out-of-the-box deployment. You gain highly effective safety in your community swiftly, since it’s connected and activated.
Strict entry controls and default firewall guidelines provide a foundation of safety and effective management for community visitors from the outset. The Sophos Firewall allows for seamless configuration of advanced features, streamlining the process and ensuring a rapid setup. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), by design, safeguards organizational goals while allowing secure access for remote employees without necessitating the creation of open ports on the perimeter network.
Hardened towards assault
Implementing robust countermeasures to thwart potential attacks on your firewall is crucially important? Sophos Firewall was deliberately engineered with security as its primary concern and continually refined against threats through innovative technologies.
Sophos Central administration provides the ultimate solution for secure remote management. Sophos Firewall has been bolstered by latest advancements, including enhanced multi-factor authentication, containerized VPN portals, refined threat detection boundaries, tightened default entry controls, expedited hotfix support, and more, solidifying its position as a formidable defender against malicious attacks.
Automated hotfix response
It’s essential to address critical security vulnerabilities promptly before the next routine software update. To ensure seamless security, Sophos Firewall features a groundbreaking hotfix capability that enables us to rapidly deploy crucial patches directly to your device “over-the-air,” mitigating the impact of newly discovered zero-day vulnerabilities and other pressing issues between regular firmware updates?
While maintaining an up-to-date firewall is crucial, as each new release includes essential security patches, performance improvements, and stability enhancements, this enables rapid deployment without typical downtime associated with firmware updates.
Proactive monitoring
You depend on Sophos to demonstrate proactivity, transparency, and timely communication. As a precautionary measure, we continuously surveil our global setup base of buyer firewalls to swiftly respond to any potential incidents.
With this capability, we can identify issues ahead of our customers by leveraging telemetry data and analytics. Our team works relentlessly to mitigate any cybersecurity breaches globally, ensuring that if one customer’s firewall is compromised anywhere in the world, we swiftly respond to contain and prevent further attacks.
Through a robust vulnerability disclosure programme, we provide transparency and openness regarding every identified security vulnerability or incident, empowering you with the necessary information to effectively protect your community. Our commitment to excellence is underscored by our robust bug bounty program, one of the most comprehensive and generously funded in the industry, ensuring that we proactively identify and rectify potential issues before they can cause problems.
