Sophos updated its Unified Threat Management solution, Sophos UTM, bringing Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) to the small and mid market.
This latest version introduces botnet protection and cloud-based sandboxing to expand on the Sophos UTM’s existing multi-layer firewall, web, email and endpoint protection.
It also enhances speed of security scanning with initial data showing the new performance optimised IPS doubling throughput speed in test environments. The email, web, and network protection modules all experience significant enhancements.
Sophos SPX technology simplifies email encryption and data loss protection (DLP). It eliminates the need for a separate Public Key Infrastructure and policy-based DLP can trigger automatic encryption. Mobile Access Control enhances WiFi and VPN security by combining Sophos UTM with Mobile Device Management functionality.
