Sophos Assistant - Feedback and Experiences

emmosophos

Hello Community,

The team working the Sophos Assistant (whatfix) would like to know your experience with the Sophos Assistant tool.

  • Have you use it?
  • Were you aware of it?
  • What flow have you tried?
  • What flow would you like to see?
  • What changes/improvements would you make?
  • Anything you would like to report (Flow no working, flow stop working, flow no intituive) 

The Sophos Assitant was launched in Sophos Firewall 18.5 MR2, this new tool was created to provide interactive guides (flows) on configuring modules (simple and complex). 

Some of the current and most popular flows are:

  • DNAT and Firewall Rules for Internal Web Server
  • Remote Access SSL VPN
  • site-to-site IPsec VPN

Understanding the icons in the Sophos Assistant

You'll encounter three different icons in the Sophos Assistant.

    The answer "... Webbased Addon on the firewall webadmin. It is not integrated nor build by Sophos..." may be correct, ...

    but .... "you are allowing an external third party source which you have no control over to access the configuration page of your Network security device while admin is logged on ...

    I can't find the "option to opt-out of the Sophos Assistant" (from 19MR1 release notes).

    Hi,

    the feature does not appear to be part of the backup/restore process, because mine was enabled after a rebuild and a restore.
