Security: SMB Network Security
Winner: Sophos Firewall
Sophos Firewall provides network performance, protection, flexibility and resiliency for organizations, delivering zero-day threat protection, identifying and stopping ransomware and other advanced threats, all while accelerating important Software-as-a-Service, SD-WAN and cloud application traffic. A new version of Sophos Firewall launched in April 2022 with Xstream SD-WAN capabilities and best-in-class VPN enhancements. Capability expansions dynamically process and route traffic, dramatically improving network performance and protection by freeing up resources for TLS and deep-packet inspection.
