Preconfigured templates and centralized policy management save time managing user, application and network policies, and provide pre-packaged web filtering, IPS, traffic shaping and app control policies for Active/Active and Active/Passive deployments spanning multiple availability zones.
Sophos synchronized security allows organizations to link endpoints, cloud workloads, and firewall to relay health status and immediately to respond to threats on your network.

This step is optional, and can be performed at any time after deployment, following the instructions available here.

Sophos Standalone Firewall for AWS
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.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
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."

Impressive Performance and Seamless Native Integration with Sophos Tools
Reviewed on Jun 10, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
A real benefit for us is that it integrates into a platform that we use to manage other Sophos security tools. We previously had good integration for our non-Sophos firewall but made the decision to move to a Sophos firewall chiefly to gain from native integration. We experienced some minor issues with implementing but were able to find answers via support and documentation. We use a 10 GB circuit with this device and with all protection enabled the performance has been impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
We found some of the video documentation somewhat off-putting when we would have liked to dive in for answers from traditional documentation. An improvement that we'd welcome would be comprehensive and easy to use migration tools - they are there but only partially helped us with migrating from another vendor. It's early days and we've not found issues with the config or UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before the Sophos firewall we had limited bandwidth capacity. We also had limited integration with other Sophos tools whereas now we have a single console with easier management as a result.
