Our UTM has been the leading solution for protecting network infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS) for years now. Over that time, we’ve added more and more purpose-built features and capabilities to Sophos UTM that continue to make it an ideal fit for securing your AWS cloud-based servers and networks. So it’s with great pleasure that today we’re announcing the availability of our new Outbound Gateway (OGW) protection for AWS. It provides unique visibility, policy enforcement, and elastic scalability to outbound web traffic from AWS.
Sophos UTM is an industry leader and a preferred solution for securing Amazon Web Services network infrastructure. Required subscriptions Sophos Web Server Protection can be purchased standalone or with any of our other UTM modules.

One of the advantages of moving to the cloud is the ability to scale your infrastructure up and down based on current demand. However, this can pose real challenges to your security as many solutions are designed around traffic or CPU limitations. Our innovative new OGW solves this problem by deploying a patent pending technology that load balances outbound traffic and deploys multiple Sophos UTM Workers allowing customers to use our UTM Web Protection and UTM Web Server Protection regardless of the traffic demand.
Securing Amazon Workspaces
Sophos Web Protection Blocking Websites
Our new Outbound Gateway is specifically designed to help customers secure their Amazon WorkSpaces environment. WorkSpaces is a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) that allows you to run remote desktop applications in the cloud. OGW provides an easy way to ensure that your users comply with web browsing policies and prevents malware from infecting remote desktops. It makes user-based policy enforcement simple and reliable since OGW works with multiple authentication mechanisms, including Active Directory and single sign-on (SSO) for your remote users.

The best part about this feature is it is included as part of your UTM subscription on AWS.
