Active Threat Response
Sophos Firewall uniquely integrates with many Sophos
products to automatically coordinate a response to an
active adversary or attack:
Ì Sophos Endpoint and XDR
Ì Sophos Managed Detection and Response services
Ì Sophos switches and wireless access points
Ì Sophos ZTNA remote access
Ì Sophos messaging protection
Ì And third-party threat intelligence solutions
Regardless of how the threat is first identified, whether at
the firewall, by another product, or by a security analyst,
Sophos Firewall coordinates a Synchronized Security
response across Sophos products. It will identify and isolate
the compromised host and prevent lateral movement
and external communications until the threat can be
investigated and cleaned up.
Sophos Synchronized Security integration between
products also provides additional capabilities you can’t get
anywhere else that adds tremendous value to your network:
Ì Synchronized Application Control takes advantage
of telemetry gathered by the endpoint about
active, networked applications and shares that
with the firewall enabling control of applications
that might otherwise go unidentified.
Ì Synchronized User ID works similarly to share user
identity between the endpoint agent and the firewall
to enforce user-based policies without the need
for a separate client or server identity solution.
Ì Synchronized SD-WAN leverages Synchronized
Application Control for traffic matching operations
to effectively route custom or otherwise unknown
application traffic across your network.
