Sophos Firewall
Introduction
For many businesses, the firewall is simply viewed as the device that connects the office to the internet. Modern firewalls have evolved into intelligent security platforms that inspect, analyse, and protect network traffic while providing visibility into users, devices, and applications.
The Business Challenge
Traditional firewalls lack the visibility required to identify sophisticated attacks targeting cloud services, encrypted traffic, and remote users.
The Real-World Incident
Sophos Firewall identified encrypted communications between internal devices and a malicious external server, automatically blocking the traffic and enabling administrators to isolate affected systems before the threat spread.
How the Solution Made the Difference
Sophos Firewall combined deep packet inspection, application awareness, intrusion prevention, and threat intelligence to detect malicious activity and simplify investigation.
Why It Worked
Real-time inspection and intelligent analysis enabled the organisation to identify abnormal behaviour before business operations were affected.
