This CloudFormation template allows you to deploy a Sophos XG Firewall Standalone. The template will bring up a single XG Firewall instance with two ENI network interfaces attached to the instance, each interface is in a distinct subnet. The first interface is dedicated to the private subnet to be protected by the XG Firewall, the second interface is dedicated to the public/external subnet. The IGW is automatically attache to the public subnet.

AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

All-in-One Dashboard Makes Security Effortless

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The single dashboard that shows me everything I need to know. I can see security events, block malicious traffic, and manage user web access all from one clean interface. It's powerful but doesn't make things complicated.
What do you dislike about the product?
as per i have not facing any challenges it's working fine in my network and its very easy to manage from sophos central.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were struggling with constant security alerts from our old system that were mostly false positives. Sophos has dramatically reduced this noise with accurate threat detection. The web filtering has also helped us enforce acceptable use policies effectively. The biggest benefit is the time I save – probably 5-6 hours weekly that I used to spend managing multiple security consoles.
