Sophos XG 86 and XG 106<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spring is the season for the New, and Sophos has sprung forth with the XG 86 and XG 106 firewalls – the latest additions to the XG firewall<\/a> family. These models replace the Sophos XG 85 and XG 105 appliances – providing new options in the desktop firewall market for small business and other small office networks. While the physical appearance, software offerings, and most technical specifications remain the same as their predecessors, the XG 86 and XG 106 come complete with 4 GB of RAM – double that of the previous iterations. And at 16 GB, the XG 86 also features two times the embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) storage of the XG 85.<\/p>\n

Before we go further discussing these new firewall models, let’s back up and talk about the Sophos XG firewall family. XG firewalls are known for top notch visibility into both known & unknown threats. They see & stop malware, and ensure your network is secure\u00a0– automatically. Top 3rd-party evaluators like Gartner<\/a>, NSS Labs<\/a>, and SC Media<\/a> have found Sophos XG firewalls to be leaders of the network security pack. As part of a\u00a0Synchronized Security Solution<\/a>, Sophos XG firewalls can be managed with the Sophos Central cloud console, offering real-time communication with your endpoints and other security solutions around the clock through the Sophos Security Heartbeat<\/a>. With that background, we turn our video spotlight to the new XG 86 and XG 106 firewalls in our latest feature review:<\/p>\n
