| Sophos starts Xtreme version of the XG firewall |
As the world's leading provider of next generation network security solutions, Sophos has released the Xstream version of Sophos XG Firewall, which has powerful TLS security decryption capabilities that security experts often ignore in performance and complexity issues. Class.
Sophos XG Firewall solution can now analyze threats by enhancing artificial intelligence in Sophos Labs and improving application performance.
Sophos also posted an article (about a quarter of malware transmitted via the Transport Security Layer) explaining how 23% of malware types use encrypted connections to control, control, or install.
For example, this article describes three widely used types of Trojan software: TrikBot, ISD, and DryDex, all of which use a transport security layer during attack.
Online attackers also use this layer to hide vulnerabilities they exploit and stolen content to attack and use it as a cover to avoid detection. In fact, 44% of thieves use encryption to transfer stolen data, including passwords for financial and bank accounts, and other sensitive information from various agencies.
Dan Chiappa, CEO of Sophos Products said: "Laboratory studies have shown that cyber attackers bravely use encryption to bypass and bypass security products. Unfortunately, most firewall solutions do not have the ability to decrypt the transport security layer. Features Prevent non-stop encrypted traffic Applications or slow network performance Thanks to the new Xtreme architecture for the Sophos XG firewall, the company provides essential features to find out what's happening at many blind spots while minimizing latency and annoying compatibility issues with full support. Internal standard tests are conducted on the latest TLS 1.3 standard. Sophos Improvements to the new XG TLS detection engine over earlier versions of the XG.
A separate Sophos survey of 3,100 IT managers in 12 countries found that long wait times are often the reason why IT managers ignore the use of decryption technology.
The survey, entitled (Critical Vulnerabilities in Next Generation Firewalls), found that 82% of respondents believed that the Transmission Security Layer should be scanned, but only 3.5% of organizations had correctly decrypted traffic for verification.
New features in Sophos XG firewall solutions:
- TLS 1.3 looks for hidden malware: compared to previous versions of XG, the new TLS engine doubles the performance of decoders.
- Improving performance of major applications: The new FastPath policy console can accelerate the performance and speed of SD-WAN applications, including voice and IP-based functions, and provide software as a service to accelerate cable usage.
- Adaptive Motion Analysis: An advanced DPI engine can dynamically evaluate the risk path and adapt it to the corresponding threat analysis, which improves results in most network environments by up to 33%.
- Sophos Lab Threat Analysis: Provides network administrators with Sophos Labs threat analysis capabilities. These capabilities have the artificial intelligence capabilities necessary to understand and modify defensive measures in response to changing threats.
- Sophos Central's cloud infrastructure and comprehensive management and reporting: With Sophos Central's central reporting and management functions, customers can use Group Firewall management and cloud reporting flexibility worldwide. The organization at no additional cost.
- Integration with Sophos MTR Response Response: Customers who use the XG firewall and Sophos Advanced Threat Response service receive usable investigation information to effectively prevent, detect, and respond to threats.
"Sophos' new XG firewall solution provides a wide range of enterprise-level functionality. Its foundation and one of the most comprehensive firewall solutions in the industry has been developed. Using Sophos Central's unified management system, implementation and management policies, updates and responses and the best capabilities of records management and analysis, can "XG firewall solutions outperform competition and have advantages in managing and setting up a firewall infrastructure management system for cloud infrastructure. This not only scans the transport layer, but does the same - XG from Sophos provides perfect security for a wide range of organizations."
Bruce Ness, CEO of Convergy Information Security Solutions commented: "We strive to manage and monitor the security of internal and internal networks for our clients at Convergence Information Security Solutions, and we believe that this is not the case." SSL Data Track / With the latest DPI acceleration engine, we can efficiently and reasonably solve this problem with encrypted TSL and XG firewall solutions and automatic system management. See encrypted traffic on the network. This feature will greatly help improve the security of Melina. We believe this is due to the large number of network attacks that the network uses to protect and encrypt the transport layer to carry out their attacks. "
"We know how quickly the attackers can develop and transform online, and thanks to our ability to scan dangerous files transmitted over the SSL / TLS layer, in addition to the Sandstorm Quick Detection Engine, we can provide our customers with better, faster protection and service."
The Sophos XG firewall solution works with a full suite of next-generation Sophos network security solutions on the Sophos Central Cloud platform. The company's unique concurrent security approach enables these solutions to work together to exchange information and respond promptly to threats.
