The first interface is dedicated to the private subnet to be protected by the XG Firewall, the second interface is dedicated to the public/external subnet. The IGW is automatically attache to the public subnet.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

What do you like best about the product?
The devices feature high-quality workmanship and software. There are a lot of features provided you pay for most of them. Implementing is self explaining, there are good instructions online. It's very easy to use, reaching from beginners to experts. Easy to learn, hard to master.

The customer support only speaks english, which is hard to understand when you are talking to them, because they are all indians.

Very good product with questionable pricing and mediocre support

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Good interaction between different components of Sophos (Firewall, RED, Access Points, ...), good configuration options to ensure IT security, many different features combined in one device, after initial difficulties with the Sophos Firewall software, the problems have been pretty much resolved with the latest updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing policy of Sophos has worsened in recent years, new components such as access points, which now have to be managed via Central, are not fully compatible with older ones, making a mixed environment almost impossible and forcing you to replace all existing components when expanding. The support has also deteriorated in recent years, employees speak very poor English and are hardly understandable on the phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple configuration to increase network security, good interaction of the individual Sophos components

What do you like best about the product?
Sophos Firewall is easy to use and implement, with a clean interface and helpful customer support. We use it daily for traffic monitoring, policy enforcement, and remote access, and its integration with Sophos Central adds great centralized control.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting features could be more detailed and customizable, and the user interface, while modern, can feel slow or clunky at times — especially when managing large rule sets or navigating between sections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos Firewall helps us block malware, stop phishing attacks, manage user access, control application usage, and secure remote connections. It also provides deep packet inspection and real-time threat intelligence, which strengthens our overall security posture. By simplifying network security and offering centralized management, it reduces the risk of breaches, minimizes downtime, and saves both time and operational costs. Additionally, its reporting and alerting tools help us stay proactive in responding to potential threats.

Next-Gen Firewall That Delivers Security Without Complexity

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The reliability and stability it brings to our clients’ networks is unmatched. We rarely face downtime or disruptions, and the firewall quietly handles security in the background while allowing businesses to focus on growth. For us, the balance between strong security and smooth day-to-day performance is what makes it stand out.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only challenge is that with so many advanced options, new administrators may take time to explore everything it offers. But once familiar, the range of controls becomes a real advantage rather than a limitation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has reduced security incidents, improved compliance with customer requirements, and given us stronger control over distributed networks. This has saved both time and operational costs while giving end users greater confidence in their IT environment.
