We've released SFOS v17.5.5 MR5 for the Sophos XG Firewall. Initially, the firmware will be available by manual download from your MySophos account. We then make the firmware available via auto-update to a number of customers, which will increase over time.

  • following up on my previous comment - it's been found that v17.5 MR5 compatiblity is already available in SFM, in our case the compatibility download was just getting blocked by an upstream XG firewall needing some additional configuration.
