Key capabilities
- Firewall: Deploy network controls on the selected Sophos Firewall product.
- Central administration: Manage supported products, policies and reports in Sophos Central.
- Endpoint connection: Assess endpoint and firewall coordination if both products are in scope.
Network firewall, endpoint protection, detection and centralized administration are separate purchase and deployment decisions.
Sophos makes sense where a team wants to coordinate firewall policy and endpoint operations. Compare the required security services and administrative roles rather than assuming every portfolio feature is included.
Test policy changes, remote access and incident review with the people who will operate the environment daily.
