Switch your firewall management to Sophos Central
Posted On Mar 6, 2021If you're one of the many organizations that still use Sophos Central to track and report on their network, you're well aware of the advantages it offers. If you're still using Sophos Firewall Manager (SFM) or iView for central reporting to manage your XG Firewall consumer networks, you're probably aware that these systems are outdated, struggling to remain updated, and difficult to understand and use.
These legacy platforms are being phased down, with end-of-life dates approaching quickly. These outdated platforms aren't modular, don't follow our security requirements, and are complex and costly to manage.
Switch to Sophos Central for all of your firewall maintenance and monitoring requirements. Sophos Central is a fully modern platform that provides the highest levels of security, scalability, and consistency while still allowing us to speed up feature creation and provide significant time savings for you and your team.
What's the trend with Sophos Central?
Let's take a look at all of the great central management capabilities:
Customers adore Sophos Central for the following reasons:
• Better productivity – workflows are more intuitive, simplified, powerful, and task-driven
• Better connectivity – monitor the network from anywhere, at any time
• More functionality – thanks to a new application model and infrastructure, we can provide more features quicker.
• Better integration – not only do you control your firewalls from a single device, but you can also manage all of your other Sophos devices, which is critical for Synchronized Compliance, XDR, MTR, ZTNA, and the future of cybersecurity.
Sophos Central comes with the following features and capabilities:
• Group firewall management – simplifies the management of various firewalls, including support for HA pairs, which was recently added.
• Backup manager – a single directory for all the firewall backups • Central inventory – see all the firewall devices under maintenance at a glance • Zero-touch deployment – saves time and resources when installing fresh firewall devices
• Safe central access – you have complete power over which administrators have access to which firewalls, meaning you don't have to reveal your web admin access to the WAN.
• Firmware upgrades and scheduling – with new scheduling choices and one-click ease
• Audit logging and recording – with a complete history of changes and synchronization status
• Central Firewall Monitoring – with helpful built-in reports, modular custom report building software, export, and scheduling solutions, and multi-firewall reporting as of v18 MR3
• High-availability management – enabled as of v18 MR3 to handle HA pairs together
