The Sophos RED device connects to the local network at the remote site and establishes a secure tunnel over the Internet to a central Sophos UTM or XGS firewall.<\/p>\n

The primary purpose of Sophos RED is to extend the protection and networking capabilities of the central firewall to remote sites without the need for complex configuration or technical expertise at the remote site. It simplifies the process of establishing secure connectivity between remote sites and the central network. And best of all, no licenses needed!<\/p>\n

Zero-Touch Edge and Branch Connectivity<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Here’s how Sophos (SD)-RED typically works:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A Sophos RED appliance is installed at the remote site, such as a branch or home office. It connects to the local network and establishes a secure connection to the central firewall.<\/li>\n
  2. The Sophos RED device automatically establishes a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel to the central firewall. This tunnel encrypts all network traffic between the remote site and the central network.<\/li>\n
  3. Once the tunnel is established, the remote site appears to the central firewall as a local network segment. This allows secure access to resources and services hosted on the central network.<\/li>\n
  4. The central firewall manages the security policies, traffic filtering and other network services for the remote site, ensuring consistent security across the network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Sophos SD- RED is particularly useful for organisations with multiple branch offices or remote workers who need secure access to the corporate network. It simplifies network setup and ensures that remote sites are protected by the same security measures as the central network.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17459″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
