Sophos has revolutionized its’ firewall family. The new XGS series firewalls have dedicated Xstream Flow processors, and they’re really something. These multi-core processors just make everything faster! Check out some of the differences between the XG series and the all-new XGS-series firewalls here!
The Sophos XG86 is the smallest member of the XG line of Next-Gen security appliances. However, it is hugely popular. This entry-level appliance is easy to own, currently on sale for about $300 at Corporate Armor. Even armed with TotalProtect Plus, it starts at just $512.
It’s at the foundation of the XG series, which is Sophos’ range of easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage appliances that can fit just about any network size. From home office to small business to enterprise.
The XG86 gives great visibility into risky activity, as well as the ability to stop both known and unknown threats. And it does it quickly and effectively. When it comes to malware, the XG86 can see it, stop it, and secure it. And, like all XG firewalls, the XG86 integrates flawlessly with Sophos Intercept X Endpoint Protection software.
If you’re looking for completely centralized network protection in a desktop appliance that’s packed with outsized security features, the Sophos XG86 is for you.
The Sophos XG86 has Max Firewall Throughput of 3.1 Gbps, and NGFW Throughput of 350 Mbps. IPS Throughput is 480 Mbps, and IPsec VPN Throughput is 225 Mbps. It has 4 GB of RAM on board, as well. Other than being slightly faster, this is the main difference between this and the XG85 it replaces.
Installation is a breeze, as it is with all Sophos firewalls. The web browser quickstart wizard guides you through securing administrative access, setting up the LAN and WAN ports plus a secure wireless network, and adding an email address for alerting.
You can purchase additional security services a la carte, but the best and most efficient way to get the most out of your XG86 is to purchase it as part of a bundle. There are two bundle types, EnterpriseProtect Plus, and TotalProtect Plus. Reach out to our specialists for more information on which of these bundles is best for you.
The XG86 is truly a carefree “install and forget” firewall. As long as you maintain firmware upgrades, the standard installation does an excellent job.
From setting up business rules to access points to Remote Ethernet Devices, XG86 offers an ease-of-use that is nearly unmatched. As with most of the firewalls we review, this appliance is very suitable for small-to medium-sized businesses and remote branch offices. Any firewall designed for this kind of use has to be easy to fire up, figure out, and forget about. After all, it’s built for organizations that may not have tons of resources to throw at IT staff and security. Nevertheless, Sophos believes they deserve first-rate protection, and so does Corporate Armor.
