The Sophos XGS 8500 Firewall, with its Xstream dual processor architecture, offers enhanced performance while integrated Zero-Day Protection strengthens security in large enterprises and campus networks. Its synchronized security integrates endpoint and network protection, and its deep learning technology enables quick threat detection. With features such as web filtering, application control, and detailed reporting capabilities, Sophos XGS 8500 provides better insights and control over the network.

The multi-core CPU and Xstream Flow Processor accelerate security-related procedures such as deep packet inspection, sandboxing, web protection, and app control for enhanced threat protection. Advanced technologies like deep learning and intrusion prevention safeguard organizations from evolving malware attacks. The integrated SD-WAN of XGS 8500 allows multiple WAN connections by intelligently routing application traffic, making it ideal for large enterprises with distributed branches and offices.

The Sophos XGS 8500 can be centrally managed with Sophos Central, a cybersecurity cloud management platform. Sophos Central promotes zero touch deployment, with the initial configurations processed in it and exported via flash drive for uploading to the device. It also simplifies the tasks of setting up full mesh networks, interconnecting SD-WAN networks between multiple firewalls, and ensuring policy enforcement across the entire network.
