Backup Management

Backups are usually an afterthought, until you really need one.

The Backup Management feature provides peace-of-mind by automating the task of managing scheduled backups. It securely stores them for you in Sophos Central, so when you do need to restore a backup for some reason, it’s super easy.

This feature allows you to:

Schedule backups daily, weekly or monthly for any or all of your firewalls
Securely store the last 5 backup files for each firewall
Permanently store a preferred backup of your choosing
Download a backup file at any time to restore

Firmware Update Management

To ensure your network is benefitting from the latest features, enhancements, fixes and performance improvements, it’s important to keep your firewalls up to date. But, updating the firmware on several firewalls can take a LOT of time. Well, not anymore!

This feature makes updating your firewall firmware as easy as clicking a button. Once activated, the whole process of downloading the firmware update and rebooting the appliance happens seamlessly, without any further action required on your part.

Zero-Touch Deployment

Sometimes you need to setup a firewall at a remote location, and you may not have the expertise on-hand there to fully configure it. This is where the Zero-Touch Deployment feature comes in.

You only need someone there to unbox it, connect it, insert a USB stick with the provisioning configuration file you created, and get it started. You can then fully configure it remotely from Sophos Central.

Zero-touch deployment in three easy steps:

Firewall Group Management

This feature allows you to synchronize policy, objects and other settings across a group of firewalls for consistency. Make a change once, and have it automatically apply to all firewalls in the group.

These new capabilities in Sophos Central are ideal for MSP partners and any customer managing multiple firewalls.
