GEC NEWS WIRENew SG Series models and virtual reporting appliances make it simple for customers and partners to secure their increasingly distributed environments
Sophos has launched additions to its range of SG Series firewall/UTM appliances, WiFi access points, and the availability of Sophos iView, a new dedicated virtual reporting appliance. By extending its Network Security portfolio with new entry-level and enterprise class appliances, Sophos now provides businesses of any size and the channel partners that serve them with the flexibility to consolidate their security with a complete proven solution set.
The release of the Sophos iView virtual appliance addresses what a recent Sophos survey SMB IT managers identified as their most significant frustration with existing firewalls from any vendor – insufficient reporting. With over 1,000 built-in reports, including regulatory compliance reports, Sophos iView aims to give IT managers the extra depth they need.
“Small and medium business have a diverse set of needs when it comes to the locations they need to secure, firewall performance requirements and reporting capabilities” said Bryan Barney, senior vice president and general manager of the Network Security Group at Sophos. “By extending our portfolio with the new SG Series models and virtual reporting appliances, we’re making it simple for our customers and partners to simply secure their increasingly distributed environments.”
“With Sophos’s new entry-level SG 100 appliances and the enterprise-class SG 500 and 600 models we can be even more competitive across a broad range of SMB opportunities,” said Sam Heard, president, Data Integrity Services.
