8 Port - 10/100/1000Base-T - Gigabit Ethernet - 8 x RJ-45 - 3.0 Total Expansion Slots - 1U - Rack-mountable, Rail-mountableSophos Firewall and the XGS Series appliances with dedicated Xstream Flow Processors enable the ultimate in application acceleration, high-performance TLS inspection, and powerful threat protection.The Sophos Firewall Xstream architecture is engineered to deliver extreme levels of visibility, protection, and performance to help address some of the greatest challenges facing network administrators today.According to the latest statistics, approximately 90% of web traffic is encrypted, making it invisible to most firewalls. An increasing amount of malware and potentially unwanted apps exploit the fact that organizations are simply not using SSL inspection. Network administrators' main fears are that SSL inspection will have a performance impact or cause something to break, impacting the user experience.Sophos Firewall removes the blind spots caused by encrypted traffic by allowing you to use SSL inspection while maintaining performance efficiency.We believe you should never have to decide between security and performance. Sophos Firewall includes a highspeed deep packet inspection (DPI) engine to scan your traffic for threats without a proxy slowing down the process. The firewall stack can completely offload the processing to the DPI engine, significantly reducing latency and so improving overall efficiency.Sophos Firewall blocks the latest ransomware and breaches with high-performance streaming DPI including next-gen IPS, web protection, and app control, as well as deep learning and sandboxing powered by SophosLabs Intelix.
