Sophos Essential Utm Firewall



UTM & Next-Generation Firewall

Sophos Utm Essential Firewall Limitations

Sophos Sandstorm uses next-gen sandbox technology, giving your organization an essential layer of protection against ransomware and targeted attacks. It integrates seamlessly with your UTM and is cloud-delivered, so there’s no additional hardware required. Sophos UTM is being used as our primary Firewall at all of our offices. We also have it set up with an Encrypted site to site VPN tunnel between each office. It is allowing our remote office to use the local applications at our main office. Non-office remote workers connect using the VPN client on the desktops. If there is an upstream firewall before the UTM, make sure to allow port 443 and 22 in the upstream firewall so that the UTM is able to connect to the access server.

With our AP 100 you get the latest high-speed three-stream 802.11ac wireless that offers 3x the performance of regular Wi-Fi - up to 1.3Gbps. And the dual-band, dual-radio AP 50 makes it ideal for establishing mesh networks to extend WiFi easily and reliably where wires just can’t reach.

Remote Ethernet Devices (RED)
Sophos RED instantly extends your secure network to a branch office or remote location.

Essential

Sophos Essential Utm Firewall Setup

Sophos RED makes extending your secure network to other locations easy. It requires no technical skills at the remote site; simply enter the RED device ID into your UTM and ship it. As soon as it’s plugged in and connected to the Internet, it will contact your UTM and establish a secure dedicated VPN tunnel. It’s that easy.

You can choose to direct all network traffic from the remote location back to your UTM for complete protection or only route inter-office network traffic via RED. All data between the RED and your UTM is encrypted to provide a secure private connection.

RED hardware appliances are available in two models: the RED 10 and RED 50.
