What’s new in UTM 9.5?

  • WAF Enhancements

WAF URL Redirection gives you the ability to redirect traffic for a WAF protected URL to a different backend system or URL.

Configure minimum allowed TLS version to improve security.

WAF protection and authentication policy templates were added for common Microsoft services for protection and authentication.

True File Type Scanning to be able to block uploads based on MIME type.

WAF Proxy Protocol Support to use the client IP info inside the ProxyProtocol header to make policy decisions and improve logging.

  • Sophos Sandstorm

Datacenter location selection for Sophos Sandstorm without relying on DNS based location detection.

Scan exceptions for Sophos Sandstorm to exclude specific filetypes from being sent to Sophos Sandstorm analysis.

  • REST API

RESTful API to configure Sophos UTM 9.

  • Base System

Certificate Expiration Notification 30 days before expiration date via WebAdmin and e-Mail to be able to react early on certificate renewal.

Support Access with SSH is extending the existing Support Access feature.

64-bit PostgreSQL Database to generate reports with big datasets faster. Existing database will be migrated without loosing any data.

SNMP Monitoring of full filesystem to integrate UTM filesystem monitoring in regular SNMP based monitoring solutions.

Download all UTM logs in a single archive.

  • Yup. same thing here, not all 2,4GHz devices like this 802.11r feature :-)

    Tried to look at my own log, I have two AP55's at home with 27 wireless devices right now, I did only see WPA failure because I ran around the house like a mad man with my phone, but besides that, i have no wifi dropouts.

     

    Which AP's do you use?
