Powerful Online Compliance Tools

XG Firewall removes the blinders, providing extreme visibility and insight into all network activity whether it’s encrypted, evasive, or elusive.

Powerful Web Filtering Policy

XG Firewall provides a powerful but intuitive web policy model that you would normally only find in dedicated enterprise web filtering products costing much more. It makes managing multiple user- and group-based custom policies a breeze. And, XG Firewall correlates each user’s surfing habits and activity with advanced threat triggers and history to identify users with risky online behavior.

Child Safety and Compliance

XG Firewall provides built-in features and policy settings that help organizations become compliant with local regulations quickly and easily. XG Firewall includes built-in policies for CIPA and pre-defined activities like “Not Suitable for Schools” as well as features like SafeSearch, YouTube restrictions, and keyword filtering to enable child safety online.

Context-aware Keyword Filtering

With XG Firewall you can identify potentially problematic behavior early on. XG Firewall can log, monitor, or even enforce policies related to keyword lists related to bullying, radicalization, or self-harm (for example). You can schedule reports to identify users at risk and get details about their activities, including what and where they are posting or what sites they are visiting.

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.

  1. Synchronized Application Control is activated whenever there is unidentified app traffic on the network.
  2. Intercept X shares the application path and executable with XG firewall through Security Heartbeat™.
  3. XG Firewall can automatically classify the new app and you can change its category any time.
  4. 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.

Monitor Health and Threats

XG Firewall and Intercept X work together to continuously share health information over 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 XG Firewall or Intercept X identifies a threat, they work together to provide an automatic response with dynamic firewall rules and lateral movement protection isolating a compromised host to prevent spread, hacker communication, and data loss.

100% Application Visibility

Intercept X is constantly sharing networked application information with XG Firewall to identify, control, and provide SD-WAN routing of your important business apps all while blocking any unwanted apps.
