Identify Tunneling and Evasive Applications
XG Firewall’s Synchronized Security Endpoint Integration identifies all unknown, evasive, and custom applications running on your network so you can easily identify rogue applications like Psiphon and block them.
- Synchronized Application Control is activated whenever there is unidentified app traffic on the network.
- Intercept X shares the application path and executable with XG firewall through Security Heartbeat™.
- XG Firewall can automatically classify the new app and you can change its category any time.
- The new application can now be controlled by policy to block, throttle, or prioritize it.
Put Your Network Protection on Autopilot
XG Firewall is part of the world’s best cybersecurity system, integrating in real time with Sophos Central and Intercept X.
