Overview:
Powerful Protection and Performance
The Sophos Firewall Xstream architecture is engineered to deliver extreme levels of visibility, protection, and performance to help address some of the greatest challenges facing network administrators today.
Approximately 99% of web traffic is now encrypted, making it invisible to most firewalls. Many organizations find themselves powerless to protect their networks from an increasing amount of ransomware, threats and potentially unwanted apps which are exploiting this blind spot.
Sophos Firewall makes efficient and effective TLS inspection possible without compromising on performance. Our XGS Series appliances with integrated Xstream Flow Processors put TLS traffic on the FastPath for accelerated inspection. And our high-performance TLS inspection engine supports TLS 1.3 without downgrading, the latest cypher suites for maximum compatibility, and enhanced visibility into encrypted traffic flows right on the dashboard.
We believe you should never have to decide between security and performance. Sophos Firewall includes a highspeed deep packet inspection (DPI) engine to scan your traffic for threats without a proxy slowing down the process. The firewall stack can completely offload the processing to the DPI engine, significantly reducing latency and so improving overall efficiency.
Sophos Firewall blocks the latest ransomware and breaches with high-performance streaming DPI including next-gen IPS, web protection, and app control, as well as deep learning and sandboxing powered by SophosLabs Intelix.
A significant portion of your network traffic is trusted business application traffic destined for branch offices, remote users, or cloud application servers. As such, no additional security scanning for threats or malware is needed, and it can be intelligently directed to the FastPath, reducing latency, optimizing overall performance, and freeing up capacity for traffic that does need deep packet inspection.
Sophos Firewall accelerates your SaaS, SD-WAN, and cloud traffic such as VoIP, video, and other trusted applications automatically or via your own policies – putting them on the FastPath through the Xstream Flow Processor.
Managing application traffic routing over multiple WAN links, and interconnecting a distributed network are essential elements of any SD-WAN solution. Often these tasks are much more challenging than they should be.
Sophos Firewall with Xstream SD-WAN provides a powerful, integrated SD-WAN solution, with performance-based link selection and routing, load balancing, zero-impact transitions between links in the event of a disruption, central cloud-managed orchestration, and Xstream FastPath acceleration of VPN tunnel traffic. Sophos Firewall with Xstream SD-WAN is one of the best, most flexible SDWAN solutions available in any firewall today.
Sophos XGS Series Appliances
All XGS Series firewall appliances are built upon a dual-processor architecture, combining a high-performance, multi-core CPU with a dedicated Xstream Flow Processor for targeted acceleration at the hardware level. This gives you all the flexibility and adaptability of an x86 based firewall plus a significant performance boost over legacy firewall designs.

Performance Test Methodology
General: Maximum throughput measured under ideal test conditions using industry standard Keysight-Ixia BreakingPoint test tools. Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions and activated services.
- Firewall: Measured using HTTP traffic and 512 KB response size.
- Firewall IMIX: UDP throughput based on a combination of 66 byte, 570 byte and 1518 byte packet sizes.
- IPS: Measured with IPS with HTTP traffic using default IPS ruleset and 512 KB object size.
- IPsec VPN: HTTP throughput using multiple tunnels and 512 KB HTTP response size.
- TLS inspection: Performance measured with IPS with HTTPS sessions and different cipher suites.
- Threat Protection: Measured with Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and malware prevention enabled using HTTP 200 KB response size.
- NGFW: Measured with IPS and Application Control enabled with HTTP traffic using default IPS ruleset and 512KB object size.
