Sophos Cloud UTM9 Auto Scaling is an AWS Security Competency approved NextGen Firewall Auto Scaling solution that helps customers with their shared security responsibilities by offering multiple layers of protection in a single solution that scans, controls and reports on traffic entering and leaving a VPC.
Security features include a Web Application Firewall (WAF), a pre-tuned and automatically updated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), an Outbound Web Proxy/ Layer 7 Application Engine to protect and control connections to the Public Internet, an Advanced Threat Protection engine to identify and block unknown and evasive threats, and VPN Gateway features to securely connect remote sites and users. The UTM9 NextGen Firewall solution also provides detailed logs and reports which can be viewed on system and/or exported to the AWS CloudWatch Logs service and any Syslog compatible device.
Sophos provides a CloudFormation template to easily deploy the Active/Active solution across multiple Availability Zones while integrating with key AWS services such as Auto Scaling, CloudWatch, and S3 to comply with AWS Best Practice guidance on secure architecture. UTM9 Auto Scaling also provides Outbound Gateway which provides for secure, scalable outbound traffic protection, and a secure REST API to automate configuration.

Auto Scaling using CloudFormation
This CloudFormation template allows you to deploy Sophos UTM in an Auto Scaling scenario to automatically scale up and down with your application in AWS. The template will deploy three EC2 instances: one EC2 instance hosts the UTM Controller used for administration, and two EC2 instances host UTM Workers used to inspect traffic. The UTM Controller resides in an Auto Scaling group and stores configuration details, logs, and reports to an S3 bucket. The UTM Workers reside in another Auto Scaling group behind Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and automatically increase the number of UTM Workers during demand spikes to maintain performance and decrease the number of UTM Workers during lulls to reduce costs. The UTM Workers use the configuration file stored in S3 to launch new UTM Workers for Auto Scaling and to propagate configuration changes via notifications from Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS).
Sophos UTM Auto Scaling also offers an additional layer of security called Outbound Gateway (OGW) which allows customers to inspect and scale security based on outbound connections. OGW works by deploying gateway instances into VPC subnets (both local and remote) that forward all traffic to UTM workers via Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels. OGW provides failover across Availability Zones (AZs) and supports VPC peering to allow you to direct all application traffic to a Shared Security VPC.
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."
