Which Sophos product is used for web filtering and security?

The Sophos Web Gateway is specifically designed for web filtering and security. It acts as a centralized point to monitor, control, and filter internet traffic for an organization. This product helps organizations protect themselves from web-based threats by inspecting and filtering out malicious content, enforcing acceptable internet usage policies, and providing detailed reporting on web activity.

The Web Gateway operates by checking each web request and ensuring that the content being accessed is safe while also enabling organizations to enforce compliance with policies. It provides protection against various online threats such as malware, phishing attacks, and inappropriate content, thereby ensuring a safer browsing experience for users.

In contrast, Sophos Endpoint Protection focuses primarily on safeguarding end-user devices from threats such as viruses and malware. The Sophos XG Firewall integrates advanced firewall features with various security functions, but its primary purpose is broader network security rather than specific web filtering. Lastly, Sophos Intercept X is an advanced endpoint security solution that provides protection against ransomware and exploits, focusing on endpoint device security rather than web traffic management.
