Overview
Sophos Firewall integrates leading technologies into a single next-generation solution without compromising security. Highlights include deep packet inspection with IPS, ATP, URL filtering, and in-depth reporting; Bidirectional AV for WAF with authentication offloading, path-based routing, country-level blocking; and self-service SSL and HTML5 VPRN technologies to make connecting from anywhere and on any device a reality - without administrative overhead.
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.

The cloud formation template to deploy Sophos Firewall will optionally collect Sophos Central account credentials (email and password used to login to https://central.sophos.com ). These credentials are used only once by the firewall to connect to Sophos Central and enable management services. This step is optional, and can be performed at any time after deployment, following the instructions available here.
Highlights
- Sophos Firewall combines advanced networking controls, protections such as Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Web Application Firewall (WAF), plus user and application controls. Saving time taken to deploy and integrate multiple products.
- Web App Firewall (WAF) protects your web apps against common threats like SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting. Next-Gen Firewall protection and reporting with stateful traffic inspection, Layer-7 application control, secure proxies, and IPS.

Pricing
Free trial
Try this product free for 30 days according to the free trial terms set by the vendor. Usage-based pricing is in effect for usage beyond the free trial terms. Your free trial gets automatically converted to a paid subscription when the trial ends, but may be canceled any time before that.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run the firewall on. Pricing scales with instance size and family rather than by tiers or features. The list covers compute-optimized instances (c4, c5), general-purpose instances (m4, m5, m7i), and one burstable instance (t3.medium). Larger instances within each family carry higher hourly rates to match more vCPU and memory. You choose the instance that fits your throughput and performance needs. Billing runs on usage, so you only pay for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You are billed for each hour the firewall instance runs on the EC2 instance type you select. The rate reflects that instance's vCPU and memory. Each running instance meters its own hours separately, so the count matches actual runtime for every instance you deploy.
The hourly software charge applies only while an instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software fees. You may still incur underlying AWS storage costs for the stopped instance, but the firewall license meters running time only.
You choose a larger instance within a family, or a different family, to add vCPU and memory. This is a deployment change you make, not an automatic tier upgrade. The new instance then meters at its own hourly rate for the hours it runs.

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."
Version release notes
Additional details
Usage instructions
You can manage your Sophos XG Firewall on AWS from the Web Interface using HTTPS (TCP port 4444), the command shell using SSH (TCP port 22), and via the API.
Sophos XG Firewall requires a valid email address for administration purposes. This email address is not used for any other purpose and remains local to the Sophos XG Firewall AMI.
