Sophos has introduced a new Xstream\narchitecture for Sophos XG Firewall with high performance Transport Layer\nSecurity (TLS) traffic decryption capabilities that eliminate significant\nsecurity risk associated with encrypted network traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is often overlooked by security teams\ndue to performance and complexity concerns. XG Firewall now also features\nAI-enhanced threat analysis from SophosLabs and accelerated application\nperformance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As SophosLabs\u2019 research demonstrates,\ncybercriminals are boldly embracing encryption in an attempt to bypass security\nproducts. Unfortunately, most firewalls lack scalable TLS crypto capabilities\nand are unable to inspect encrypted traffic without causing applications to\nbreak or degrade network performance,\u201d said Dan Schiappa, Chief Product Officer\nat Sophos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the new Xstream architecture in XG\nFirewall, Sophos is providing critical visibility into an enormous blind spot\nwhile eliminating frustrating latency and compatibility issues with full\nsupport for the latest TLS 1.3 standard. Sophos\u2019 internal benchmark tests have\nclocked a two-fold performance boost in the new XG TLS inspection engine as\ncompared to previous XG versions. This is a game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Latency too often deters IT admins from\nusing decryption, as seen in an independent Sophos survey of 3,100 IT managers\nin 12 countries. The survey white paper, The Achilles Heel of Next-Gen Firewalls<\/em>,\nreports that while 82% of respondents agreed TLS inspection is necessary, only\n3.5% of organisations are decrypting their traffic to properly inspect it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sophos has introduced a new Xstream architecture for Sophos XG Firewall with high performance Transport Layer Security (TLS) traffic decryption capabilities that eliminate significant security risk associated with encrypted network traffic.
