Sophox XG Firewall and Central Endpoint/Server Protection discontinued
Sophos
With effect from 01.10.2021, Sophos has discontinued all hardware appliances of the Sophos XG series, which means they are no longer available. The successor is the XGS series, which we have already presented.
Licenses will continue to be available for the XG models until end-of-life. These follow the XGS licence model, which has been made much clearer.
In addition to the individual licences, there are two licence packages:
- Standard Protection Bundle, which contains:
- Network Protection licence
- Web Protection Licence
- Enhanced Support
- Xstream Protection Bundle, this includes:
- Network Protection Licence
- Web Protection Licence
- Zero-Day Protection (Sandstorm, extended with Pre-Execution Analyses)
- Central Orchestration (service not yet available from Sophos)
- Enhanced Support
Additional licences can be booked a la carte.
With the Sophos XGS models, you benefit from the stronger hardware, especially the new XStream chip from Marvell, which takes over the encryption and decryption of network traffic. This reduces the load on the processor and speeds up the processing of data.
The following individual licences are available:
- Network Protection
- Web Protection
- Zero-Day Protection Central Orchestration (expected to be available in June)
- Email Protection
- Web Server Protection
- Enhanced Support
- Enhanced Plus Support Upgrade
In addition, Sophos Central Endpoint Protection and Central Server Protection will no longer be available from 07.10.2021. The Sophos Intercept X Essentials licenses are intended as a direct successor. Existing Sophos Central Endpoint and Server Protection licenses will be migrated to corresponding Sophos Central Intercept X Essentials licenses.
This provides you with a high-quality solution to protect your endpoint and server systems. Including the latest technologies such as Deep Learning, which can protect you even better and more efficiently.
