I'm new to Sophos and I want to install Sophos UTM on a bare metal server but have some concerns regarding security and encryption.
If the entire server/drive containing the UTM installation is stolen, would it be possible for the intruder to retrieve information from the server, granted that the admin password is strong enough? I'm thinking about all the saved credentials including VPNs etc that are stored on the drive. Does Sophos have built-in encryption/protection for this?
If running the appliance on a VM, we can do full drive or VM encryption, but I want to run it on bare metal for maximum performance.
Additional, when running on bare metal, how easy it is to recover settings in case of hardware failure? Is it a simple matter of spinning up another factory instance and import backed up configuration files? Does Sophos have built-in imaging based backup utility to make regular backup and restoring to a new server a simple process?
Thanks.
