Switch to Sophos Firewall

More and more Fortinet customers are switching to Sophos to consolidate, simplify, and save on network security.

Level Up Your Network Security

With Sophos Firewall, you get a single cloud management console for all your firewalls and other security products, with an open dashboard and in-depth analytics included at no extra cost. You also get features you can’t get anywhere else, like automated threat response and integrated NDR.

A single cloud management console

When you switch to Sophos, you get a single cloud management console for all your Sophos products: firewalls, endpoints, switches, Wi-Fi, ZTNA and more, all designed to make deployment and day-to-day management easy.

Automated threat response

Sophos pioneered automated threat response between firewalls and endpoint with Synchronized Security. We continue to accelerate your defenses with Active Threat Response to stop attacks before they cause a problem.

Outstanding value

Switch to Sophos and get great savings on your new hardware and software services, reduce management costs, and simplify support.
You’ll get the best price, protection, and performance – and we continue to add value and increase performance with every release.

Secure by design

Firewalls and network infrastructure are constantly under attack. Sophos has invested heavily in engineering a firewall that’s hardened against attacks. And should something get through, we’ll patch it before it becomes a problem.

Active Threat Response

Every network has firewalls, endpoints, switches, and Wi-Fi.

Why not get them talking to each other:

To share user, application, and threat information
Automatically respond to threats
Prevent lateral movement

Sophos Firewall works with other Sophos products to coordinate an automated response to active adversaries to stop attacks before they become a problem.

Getting Better and Faster

Our software and hardware-accelerated architecture is programmable, enabling us to improve performance, protection, or both with every major firmware update. While most firewalls get slower over time, Sophos Firewall is getting better and faster —without having to upgrade your hardware.
