Features:
The smarter way to simple, secure Wi-Fi
Sophos Wireless provides an easy, effective way to manage and secure your wireless networks. You can use it on its own or as part of your Sophos Central portfolio of cloud-managed security solutions.
Manage all your security on a single platform
Sophos Central is a highly scalable management platform which gives you a single pane of glass for all of your cloud-managed security solutions. Using Sophos Central, you can manage Sophos Wireless on its own, or alongside your Endpoint, Mobile, Email, Encryption and Server Protection.
Superior visibility into wireless health
The Sophos Wireless dashboard puts all the key information about the health of your wireless networks and connecting clients directly at your fingertips. Not only can you see if there are potential threats you need to deal with, such as rogue APs, but you can also quickly identify clients with compliance or connectivity issues.
Simple deployment and administration
Using the step-by-step guidance in our on-boarding wizard, creating networks, registering one or more access points, and adding sites is child’s play. Our solution is built to be simple to use, even for non-wireless experts, but that doesn’t mean you forfeit functionality. Schedule firmware upgrades to keep your network up to date and benefit from new features and enhancements in every release.
Intelligence connected with Security Heartbeat™
When using our Security Heartbeat™ enabled APX Series access points, you can monitor the health status of any Sophos Central-managed endpoint or mobile device and so automatically restrict web access on trusted Wi-Fi networks. Users with serious compliance issues see a splash screen to alert them to their walled garden status but receive full connectivity again, once health is restored.
Security enhanced for your trusted Wi-Fi networks
Our Enhanced Rogue AP Detection classifies neighboring Wi-Fi networks to identify threats and prevent attempts to infiltrate an organization via Wi-Fi.
Additionally, you can keep your networks secure by providing controlled internet access and hotspots for visitors, contractors, and other guests on your network. Use enterprise-grade backend authentication for a seamless user experience.
Multi-site management and cloud scalability
Whether you have just one growing network, or multiple sites, extending your Wi-Fi is as simple as adding an additional access point.
Sophos APX Series Access Points – at a glance
The Sophos APX Series is a growing portfolio of Security Heartbeat-enabled access points. With 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, they are custom-built for increased throughput at load and better performance and security.
Indoor Access Points
Wireless LAN and Sophos Firewall
Sophos Firewall provides several options for wireless LAN connectivity. As Wireless Protection is included in the Base License purchased with every appliance, there are no additional subscription costs to consider.
Desktop appliances are optionally available with Wi-Fi built-in. These are ideal as a low-cost, all-in-one solution for smaller offices and retail environments where network coverage is only required in a relatively limited space. See the Desktop section for further details.
Your Sophos Firewall can be used as a wireless controller to manage APX Series access points. These models are designed for a range of deployment scenarios and with 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 models available at different price points, they can suit even the tightest budget.
Sophos Central Management
The APX can also be managed from Sophos Central. This option offers additional features and the full scalability of a cloud-managed platform. If you’re already using Sophos Central to manage other Sophos products, your Sophos partner or sales contact can provide more information about Sophos Wireless.
