Sophos Client Firewall Centrally managed to block worms, stop hackers and prevent intrusion

 

Our centrally managed client firewall is designed for deployment within an enterprise environment, stopping zero-day threats and preventing intrusion from hackers.

 

Manage and update centrally through Enterprise Console

 

Sophos has integrated central management and updating of both anti-virus and client firewall deployments with the Enterprise Console - significantly reducing the time spent managing multiple endpoint security products.  Sophos console manages Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX.

 

Proactive zero day protection

 

Sophos Client Firewall works alongside Sophos Anti-Virus to defend computers from unknown threats, preventing virus outbreaks before they disrupt your business.

 

Eliminate known and unknown threats with port blocking

 

By only allowing authorized applications to communicate on open ports, internet worms are blocked before they can exploit operating system vulnerabilities. Our firewall proactively prevents application hijacking and impersonation attacks through checksum technology.

 

Robust out-of-the-box and simple to customize

 

Rapidly protects with its out-of-the-box settings and simple-to-set specific rules for your users, allowing you to create robust network security without compromising legitimate business use.

 

Location-aware security

 

Ensures full security policies can be enforced when a user is connecting remotely to the internet, for example, via wireless hotspots.

 

Stop data theft and protect confidentiality

 

Only authorized applications are allowed to connect and communicate over the network and internet. This prevents worms, Trojan horses and spyware from stealing and distributing sensitive information.

 

Prevent intrusion by hiding endpoints from hackers

 

Hackers use port scanning to identify and target vulnerable computers. Our stealth mode prevents computers responding and falling victim to hacker attacks.

 

Industry-leading expertise 24/7

 

Our 24/7 customer support operation is highly acclaimed, while SophosLabs™, our global network of threat analysis centers, provides a rapid response to emerging and evolving threats.
