Comprehensive Centralized Management

Complete firewall management of all your devices
Centrally manage firewall policies and configuration for all your security features for network protection, Application filtering, Web filtering, IPS, VPN, Email, and more. And we make it easy by ensuring the controls and user interface are consistent between Sophos Firewall Manager and the on-box management console.

Streamline setup of new devices
Simply point your new firewalls at SFM - a convenient wizard guides you through the device enrolment, compatibility checks, and device synchronization in just a few clicks.

Push, pull or replicate policies
You can push, pull or replicate policies amongst your various firewalls or have new devices inherit policies automatically when they come online.

Consistent policy implementation across sites
Eliminate security risks by deploying your policies consistently across distributed firewall deployments from a single console. Sophos Firewall Manager makes it easy to ensure uniform policy implementation across all your devices.

Template-based configuration
Create re-usable configuration templates that help you save time and effort setting up a new device or customer. You can create a new template, clone or copy an existing template or create one from an existing device configuration. For example, apply a branch office template to new branch offices easily or create special templates focused on particular needs like an education vertical.

Centrally manage updates
Save time updating each firewall separately by managing firmware updates from Sophos Firewall Manager. Also, manage pattern updates centrally and maintain a configuration back-up repository locally, via FTP or over email.

Insightful monitoring

Device health monitor
Monitor the health of your managed devices including their security, resources, availability, and licensing status all from the central dashboard.

Utilize a variety of views to focus on just what's important and adjust threshold values for monitoring parameters based on your specific business needs.

Alerts
You can configure alerts to get notifications on a broad range of events including subscription expiry, gateway status change, excessive disk usage, ATP events, IPS and virus threat counts, unhealthy surfing, and much more. Event thresholds are completely customizable, ensuring you only get alerted when it's important.
