Sophos UTM9 is a AWS Security Competency approved NextGen Firewall solution that helps customers with their shared security responsibilities by offering multiple layers of protection in a single virtual appliance that scans, controls and reports on traffic entering and leaving a VPC. Security features include a Web Application Firewall (WAF), a pre-tuned and automatically updated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), an Outbound Web Proxy/ Layer 7 Application Engine to protect and control connections to the Public Internet, an Advanced Threat Protection engine to identify and block unknown and evasive threats, and VPN Gateway features to securely connect remote sites and users. The UTM9 NextGen Firewall solution also provides detailed logs and reports which can be viewed on system and/or exported to the AWS CloudWatch Logs service and any Syslog compatible device. You can deploy Sophos UTM as a standalone solution on the EC2 Instance type of your choice, or use the Sophos provided CloudFormation template to deploy an Active/Passive High Availability pair of UTM's that spans across multiple Availability Zones and integrates with key AWS services such as Auto Scaling, CloudWatch, and S3 to comply with AWS Best Practice guidance on secure architecture. If you have any questions about the solution or if you need assistance with deployment or configuration, please contact the Sophos Public Cloud team at
