Sophos Standalone Firewall for AWS
This CloudFormation template allows you to deploy a Sophos XG Firewall Standalone. The template will bring up a single XG Firewall instance with two ENI network interfaces attached to the instance, each interface is in a distinct subnet. 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."
Version release notes

What do you like best about the product?
I like best about Sophos Firewall is its intuitive web interface and deep visibility into network traffic. The Security Heartbeat feature, which integrates with Sophos endpoints, provides real-time health status of connected devices, making treat isolation automatic and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Sophos Firewall offers excellent security features, the main area for improvement is in the reporting and logging capabilities. The default reports are limited, and generating customized reports often requires integration with Sophos Central Reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sophos Firewall is helping us by providing comprehensive protection against modern cyber threats, including ransomware, phishing, and advanced persistent treats. Its IPS, ATP, and synchronized security features work together to detect, isolate, and block malicious traffic before it impacts our network.
