We are extremely pleased to announce the availability of XG Firewall on Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud infrastructure.

XG Firewall is now available in the AWS marketplace with two flexible licensing options:

Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license – ideal for short-term use

Bring-your-own license (BYOL) – our conventional multi-year term licenses

AWS customers can take full advantage of the many innovations XG Firewall has to offer, like Synchronized Security with Intercept X for Server, the new Xstream Architecture with high-performance TLS 1.3 inspection, and the latest machine learning threat intelligence and sandboxing protection from ransomware and other advanced threats.

Crucially, it enables customers to manage a multi-cloud security strategy from a single cloud console in Sophos Central; including network security with XG Firewall; cloud workload protection with Intercept X for Server; and cloud security posture management with Cloud Optix.

XG Firewall brings full network security and control to AWS integrated into a single solution:

Xstream Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Web filtering, protection and application control

AV and AI machine-learning threat protection and sandboxing

TLS inspection with native support for TLS 1.3

A full-featured Web Application Firewall

In the coming months we will be extending XG Firewall’s integration into AWS with enhancements like auto-scaling, CloudFormation template support, CloudWatch integration and more.

With XG Firewall now available in AWS as well as Microsoft’s Azure public cloud platform, XG Firewall further extends its industry-leading deployment options with support for any combination of cloud, virtual, software, or XG Series hardware appliances. These options make XG Firewall able to fit any network, both now and in the future.
