Hi Community,
This document focuses on providing baseline guidance to secure the Sophos Firewall to a minimum level. The document won’t guide each Sophos Firewall feature that may, in turn, secure internal network devices and resources (a full, exhaustive Sophos Firewall best practice guide will be published in due course).
Note: This guide won’t include advice and guidance on the following topics, which are considered to be out of scope:
- Outsourcing management
- Legal Regulations
- Local/Regional corporate requirements
- Business Continuity
- Disaster Recovery planning
- Network Security Architecture & Design
- Risk Management
- Information Security Governance
One size does not fit all; some security recommendations will apply to a customer, whereas others won’t. Sophos and our partners provide award-winning Professional Services that are happy to provide best-practice network security design, implementation, and training tailored to the needs of our customers.
While Sophos firewall is one of the most sophisticated, multilayered, leading-edge security appliances in use today, it’s, as with most firewalls, ineffective right out of the box. Administrators often concentrate on configuring firewall features and functions to protect internal networks and resources before securing the firewall.
