Description
Zero-touch edge and branch connectivity
SD-RED offers a uniquely simple solution to extend network connectivity to your remote locations and branch offices - no matter where in the world they are. Replace expensive MPLS connections to reduce your costs and take advantage of other Sophos products, such as Intercept X, for added SD-WAN functionality in combination with XG Firewall.
Plug-and-protect deployment
Sophos SD-RED makes extending your secure network to other locations easy. It requires no technical skills at the remote site; simply enter the device ID into your Sophos firewall appliance and ship it. As soon as the device is plugged in and connected to the internet it will contact your firewall and establish a secure dedicated VPN tunnel. It's really that simple.
Flexible configuration
Set up your SD-RED devices to tunnel all traffic from the remote location back to the firewall, controlling DHCP and other network elements of the remote network. Or, you can choose to only route inter-office network traffic via your SD-RED, while enabling direct internet access from the remote location.
Securely encrypted, centrally managed
All data between the SD-RED and your Sophos firewall is encrypted using AES256 levels, ensuring a tamper- and hack-proof, secure connection. With central management from our latest XG and SG Series, protection is completely transparent across your distributed network and can be customized or replicated to suit your needs.
Synchronized SD-WAN
When managed through XG Firewall, Synchronized SD-WAN allows you to benefit from the power of Synchronized Security and XG Firewall's integration with Sophos Intercept X to optimize WAN path selection for your important business applications with 100% reliability.
Flexible Wi-Fi and WAN connectivity
Optionally add a Wi-Fi-5 or 3G/4G module to provide connectivity for wireless clients or to use 3G/4G internet connections.
Choose your RED
Our SD-RED devices are built on the latest enterprise-class, high-speed networking platforms. They work with your Sophos SG UTM/XG Firewall appliance (hardware, software, virtual, or cloud). Our range of Sophos APX Series Access Points are also compatible with Sophos SD-RED for secure, high-speed wireless connectivity.
Licensing
To use a Sophos SD-RED you will need an active Network Protection subscription for either Sophos SG UTM or Sophos XG Firewall. To use Wi-Fi with SG UTM, you will additionally need a valid UTM Wireless Protection subscription.
