Sophos Firewall AWS Auto Scaling
Sophos Firewall with Amazon Web Services Auto Scaling is now in early access for everyone, with general availability expected in November. Special thanks to those who signed up to test early, and have already begun testing!
Sophos Firewall now integrates the latest AWS Auto Scaling functionality via CloudFormation templates into our AWS firewall solutions. This release enables organizations to secure workloads from inbound threats and scale automatically based on predefined workload criteria providing powerful perimeter protection for their AWS public cloud infrastructure. Sophos Firewall integrates with the Amazon Elastic Network Load Balancer to automatically add instances to the Amazon Auto Scaling Group as performance demands increase. Sophos Firewall provides rapid dynamic scaling with standby instances synced and ready to go online instantly as workloads increase and able to scale to millions of requests. Sophos Firewall can also now send logs to CloudWatch.
Sophos Firewall brings powerful protection and performance to AWS infrastructure with our XStream Architecture that includes TLS 1.3 inspection, streaming deep-packet inspection, next-gen IPS, and the latest real-time threat intelligence.
Sophos Firewalls in AWS are centrally managed from Sophos Central, the world’s most trusted cybersecurity cloud management platform that makes managing a hybrid estate of cloud, virtual or on-prem firewalls easy.
