Sophos Next-Generation Firewalls for Businesses & Enterprises
Secure Your Business with Vays Infotech – Authorized Sophos Partner
Why Businesses Need Next – Gen Security
Sophos Firewalls control traffic by IP, port, and protocol, but today’s enterprises demand more — safeguarding sensitive data, supporting hybrid work, securing encrypted connections, and staying compliant with regulations. Sophos Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) deliver deeper protection with advanced threat prevention, application awareness, SSL/TLS inspection, and synchronized security that integrates seamlessly with endpoints for smarter, stronger defense.securing encrypted traffic, and maintaining compliance — often with lean IT teams.
Threat Prevention
Sophos Firewalls deliver multi-layered protection against advanced threats including malware, ransomware, phishing, and zero-day exploits. With deep packet inspection (DPI), intrusion prevention, and AI-powered threat intelligence from SophosLabs, they block attacks before they reach users or critical systems.
