Working together: Your firewall and server protection
Sophos Firewall is part of the world’s best cybersecurity ecosystem, integrating in real time with Sophos Central and Sophos Endpoint.
Monitor health and threats
Sophos Firewall and Sophos Endpoint work together to continuously share health information over Sophos Security Heartbeat™ so you know the health of your network at a glance and are instantly notified of any active threats.
Automatic threat isolation
When either Sophos Firewall or Sophos Endpoint identifies a threat, the two solutions coordinate to provide an automatic response. They use dynamic firewall rules and lateral movement protection, which isolate a compromised host to keep malware and other types of threats from spreading further, helping prevent hacker communication or data loss.
100% application visibility
Sophos Endpoint is constantly sharing networked application information with Sophos Firewall to enable and control SD-WAN routing of your important business apps while blocking any unwanted apps.
