The Xstream Advantage
The XG Firewall Xstream architecture is engineered to deliver extreme levels
of visibility, protection, and performance to help address some of the greatest
challenges facing network administrators today.
Xstream SSL Inspection
According to the latest statistics, approximately 80% of web
traffic is encrypted, making it invisible to most firewalls. An
increasing amount of malware and potentially unwanted
apps exploit the fact that organizations are simply not using
SSL inspection. Network administrators' main fears are that
SSL inspection will have a performance impact or cause
something to break, impacting the user experience.
XG Firewall removes the blind spots caused by encrypted
traffic by allowing you to use SSL inspection whilst
maintaining performance efficiency.
Xstream DPI Engine
We believe you should never have to decide between
security and performance. XG Firewall includes a highspeed Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine to scan your
traffic for threats without a proxy slowing down the process.
The firewall stack can completely offload the processing
to the DPI engine, significantly reducing latency and so
improving overall efficiency.
XG Firewall provides robust deep packet threat protection in
a single streaming engine for AV, IPS, Web, App Control and
SSL inspection.
Xstream Network Flow FastPath
Traffic which is known to be secure can be offloaded to the
Xstream Network Flow FastPath. This accelerated path
for trusted traffic boosts performance dramatically by
freeing up resources from unnecessary traffic inspection
tasks. This is particularly important for voice and video
applications which are very sensitive to latency and so can
quickly lead to a degradation of the user experience. XG
Firewall includes automatic and policy-based intelligent
offloading for trusted traffic processing at wire speed.

Synchronized Security
Security Heartbeat™ - Your firewall and your
endpoints are finally talking
Sophos XG Firewall is the only network security solution
that is able to fully identify the user and source of an
infection on your network and automatically limit access to
other network resources in response. This is made possible
with our unique Sophos Security Heartbeat that shares
telemetry and health status between Sophos endpoints
and your firewall and integrates endpoint health into firewall
rules to control access and isolate compromised systems.
The good news is, this all happens automatically, and
is successfully helping numerous businesses and
organizations to save time and money in protecting their
environments today.
What Next-Gen Firewalls See Today
Synchronized Application Control
Using Security Heartbeat, we can do much more than
just see the health status of an endpoint. We also have
a solution to one of the biggest problems most network
administrators face today - lack of visibility into network
traffic.
Synchronized Application Control automatically identifies,
classifies and controls encrypted, custom, evasive, and
generic HTTP or HTTPS applications which are currently
going unidentified.
What XG Firewall Sees
You can’t control what you can’t see. All firewalls today
depend on static application signatures to identify apps
But those don’t work for most custom, obscure, evasive,
or any apps using generic HTTP or HTTPS.
Lateral Movement Protection
Lateral Movement Protection automatically isolates
compromised systems at every point in the network to
stop attacks dead in their tracks. Healthy endpoints assist
by ignoring all traffic from unhealthy endpoints, enabling
complete isolation, even on the same network segment, to
prevent threats and active adversaries from spreading or
stealing data.
Synchronized SD-WAN harnesses the power of Synchronized Security to optimize
WAN path selection for your important business applications.
With Synchronized Application Control, discovered applications, which would otherwise be
unknown, can be used for traffic matching criteria in SD-WAN routing policies. This is yet
another way that Synchronized Security can improve the efficiency of your network.
XG Firewall utilizes Synchronized Security to automatically
identify, classify, and control all unknown applications
easily blocking the apps you don’t want and prioritizing
the ones you do.
Synchronized User ID
User authentication is critically important in a nextgeneration firewall but often challenging to implement
in a seamless and transparent way. Synchronized User
ID eliminates the need for client or server authentication
agents by sharing user identity between the endpoint
and the firewall through Security Heartbeat. It’s just
another great benefit of having your firewall and endpoints
integrated and sharing information.
