Sophos – the UTMost in Unified Threat Management

Sophos Sandstorm UTM provides targeted attack protection and visibility and a rich, full set of threat protection features…at a price that won’t give you sticker shock.

Peace of mind is hard to come by these days—especially for small and medium size businesses.You have the same threat concerns as an enterprise, but nowhere near the staff or budget. But just like the big guys, you need to look out for potential and real security concerns, like ransomware and malware, coming from everywhere to your network via mobile, email and web gateways and Wi-Fi.

Sophos Sandstorm can’t give you a bigger support staff, but it can give your organization an extra level of security – at a price point you can manage.Sophos has made UTM really simple to deploy and manage. Sophos gives you:

  • a dashboard that works in real time so that you can identify potential security concerns before they enter your network;
  • cloud-based, multi-layered protection, so you can identify infected hosts on your network;
  • the ability to securely connect remote offices to your primary appliance;
  • a way to easily configure firewall rules for multiple destinations;
  • a way to control web application traffic in real-time;
  • web action filter wizards and test tools;
  • email (POP and SMTP) encryption and protection from SPAM and phishing;
  • endpoint protection;
  • integrated two-factor authentication…
  • …and the feature list goes on.

We think that Sophos’ feature set is the best in the business, but you don’t have take our word for it-- because Gartner, PC Pro and SC Magazine all think so, too.

We like Sophos UTM solutions because of its central management for multiple units, its powerful feature set and it’s deployment versatility.And best of all, we think Sophos makes UTM easy: not just easy to use, but it has an easy-to-follow software UI that’s simple to navigate and keep up to date.
