Cybersecurity threats are increasing in terms of both quantity and complexity and traditional approaches to protection are no longer enough.

Sophos is all about making IT security simpler and more effective, introducing the Sophos XG Firewall. The XG Firewall provides unprecedented visibility into your network, users, and applications directly from the control centre. You also get rich on-box reporting and the option to add Sophos iView for centralised reporting across multiple firewalls.

The Dirty Secrets of Network Firewalls

FIREWALLS ARE FAILING TO DELIVER THE PROTECTION ORGANISATIONS NEED
• 16 infected devices per month, on average.
• #1 desired firewall improvement is better protection.

IT MANAGERS CAN’T TELL YOU HOW 45% OF THEIR BANDWIDTH IS CONSUMED
• 45% network traffic is going unidentified.
• This leads to multiple areas of concern including security, productivity, accountability, legal liability and compliance and Rol.

INEFFECTIVE FIREWALLS ARE COSTING YOU TIME AND MONEY

• 3.3 hours – average time taken to identify, isolate
and remediate infected machines.
• 7 days – time lost every month to fixing infected devices.
