Sophos Xstream Protection for Sophos Firewall

Advanced Network Security Protection for Modern Businesses

Sophos Xstream Protection is the essential security subscription for Sophos Firewall, adding advanced threat detection, prevention, and response capabilities that protect organisations from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

While Sophos Firewall provides a powerful next-generation firewall platform without a subscription, Sophos Xstream Protection unlocks the full security capabilities of the solution – combining advanced inspection technologies, SophosLabs threat intelligence, and cloud-based security services to help protect your network, users, and data.

What Is Included with Sophos Firewall Without a Subscription?

A Sophos Firewall appliance provides a comprehensive set of enterprise networking features without requiring an ongoing subscription. These include:

  • Next-generation firewall (NGFW) functionality
  • Stateful packet inspection
  • Network address translation (NAT)
  • Routing and VLAN support
  • VPN connectivity including IPSec, SSL VPN, and SD-WAN capabilities
  • High Availability (HA) configuration support
  • Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth management
  • Network segmentation
  • User and device management
  • Centralised firewall administration
  • Basic reporting and monitoring

These features make Sophos Firewall a highly capable networking and security appliance straight out of the box.

What Does Sophos Xstream Protection Add?

Sophos Xstream Protection adds the advanced security services required to defend against modern cyber threats, including ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, exploits, and malicious web activity.

With Xstream Protection enabled, Sophos Firewall includes:

Advanced Threat Protection

Uses SophosLabs intelligence and cloud-based analysis to identify and block suspicious activity, compromised devices, malware communication, and emerging threats.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Detects and blocks network-based attacks by analysing traffic patterns and identifying known vulnerabilities, exploits, and attack techniques.

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

Provides advanced inspection of encrypted and unencrypted traffic, including TLS/SSL inspection, helping identify threats hidden inside encrypted connections.

Web Protection and URL Filtering

Blocks malicious websites, phishing pages, inappropriate content, and risky browsing activity using Sophos' global web reputation database.

Application Control

Identifies thousands of applications and online services, allowing organisations to control, prioritise, or restrict application usage across the network.

Zero-Day Threat Protection

Uses machine learning, behavioural analysis, and cloud intelligence to detect previously unknown threats that traditional signature-based security may miss.

Sophos Security Heartbeat Integration

Works with Sophos Endpoint and Sophos Central to provide coordinated protection, allowing infected devices to be automatically identified and isolated from the network.

Why Sophos Xstream Protection Is an Important Addition to Sophos Firewall

Cyber criminals are constantly changing their techniques, using encrypted traffic, zero-day exploits, ransomware, and advanced social engineering attacks to bypass traditional security solutions.

A firewall without active security subscriptions can control network access, but it does not have the continuously updated intelligence needed to identify and stop modern threats.

Sophos Xstream Protection transforms Sophos Firewall into a proactive cybersecurity platform by adding:

  • Real-time threat intelligence updates from SophosLabs
  • Advanced malware and ransomware detection
  • Protection against phishing and malicious websites
  • Encrypted traffic inspection
  • Automated threat response capabilities
  • Continuous security improvements delivered through the cloud

For businesses that rely on their network to operate securely, Sophos Xstream Protection is a critical component of a complete cybersecurity strategy.
