Guides|by Leanne Bevan|12 September 2022
Modern firewalls are purpose-built to defend against ransomware – but to do so, they need to be given the opportunity to do their job.
We are committed to ensuring you get the most from their investment by delivering the latest resources from firewall leaders, Sophos. Their top resources will help you ensure a resilient configuration that delivers business continuity 24/7.
1. Firewall Best Practices to Block Ransomware
This whitepaper details how modern ransomware attacks work, how to stop them, and the best practices for firewalls and networks to give the optimum protection against ransomware.
2. Sophos Firewall Tech Videos
The home of Sophos technical support videos. Detailed configuration and integration guides are available in a simple, easy-to-navigate collection.
3. Sophos Firewall Community
For all firewall queries - ask or answer a question, find release notes and news, and interact with other Community members.
Network Security Expert Tip
Sophos' recommendation for a resilient firewall set-up is two hardware devices*, configured to automatically failover, in the event that the primary box stops working. Sophos will be contacting customers with one firewall to discuss their current firewall setup.
To learn more, fill out the form below or email us to book a consultation with our cyber security expert. Grey Matter is a Sophos Gold Partner.
*Additional firewalls should be the same model as your customer's primary hardware device.
