Hi Sophos Community, 

We've updated Firewall Reporting in Central with a new Security Posture Assessment report. This is not so much a new report, as it is an interesting new way to use firewall reporting. The SPA report offers a customizable package of multiple reports, combined into a single package, making it easy to share a single report package to a manager that highlights firewall protection activity, and user behaviors.  Users familiar with the Executive Report from UTM9 will appreciate the new SPA report available today, and more enhancements coming soon. 

SPA Report Config

Features

Simpler delivery

  • Group reports into single package

  • Reveal web and application activity risks

Inventory and Status

  • New firewall inventory report

  • Limit to Top-X items (configurable, top 10, 25, 50, or 100 items)

Requirements

Firewalls must be configured to use Central firewall reporting, and should have either an Xstream license bundle, or be assigned a CFR-Advanced license for the SPA report to be scheduled.
