[AusNOG] New NGFW recommendations

[Ricki Cook]

+1 Palo Alto

We looked at the Sophos XG series as we also use Sophos on our end points. Can't remember what exactly, but it lacked some real networking functionality that I was hoping for.

I wanted something that wouldn't choke at 10G+

We went with Palo Alto. We've swapped out ASA55xx series for Palo Alto PA5050's in an Active/Active cluster.

I keep finding new features everyday that makes me glad we got them!

I've used ASA-X, Checkpoint and Palo in anger, give me a Palo anyday (and pay for Panorama if you have more than one cluster)

I'd be immediately concerned with using the same vendor at multiple levels in your security stack.  Defence in depth should apply here - a different vendor/product at each layer.

My current employer is a Check Point customer, but I also find the Palo Alto story quite interesting, particularly in the NGFW space.

We are replacing our older ASA5520 Firewall.  We currently use Sophos for end point protection.  Has anyone have any pros/cons using Sophos XG?
