Sophos has announced new network security tools, with Firewall v23 already available and general availability for Sophos NDR scheduled from 10 November. The company says availability and licensing can vary by market.
A firewall applies rules to network traffic. Network detection and response tools look for activity that may indicate an intrusion, giving security teams another view of what is happening beyond an individual device. Sophos is bringing signals from these tools together in its Fusion platform.
The release also introduces synchronised web policies for some Sophos tools. Administrators can define filtering rules centrally and apply them across the firewall, protected browser and endpoint tools. The practical effect depends on the products in use and how the organisation configures its policies.
