Sophos XGS 118w with Xstream Protection, 1 year
The Sophos XGS 118w is a compact desktop next-generation firewall built for small offices and branch sites. It inspects encrypted traffic on the appliance itself and is managed from the Sophos cloud console (now becoming Sophos Fusion). It comes with a 1-year Xstream Protection subscription. The w model has Wi-Fi built in, so one unit covers the firewall and the office wireless.

Why choose it
- It looks inside encrypted traffic. TLS 1.3 inspection runs on the box, closing the blind spot where most malware hides.
- One console for the whole network. Firewalls, switches, wireless, and endpoints together, with zero-touch deployment.
- Security without the slowdown. The Xstream architecture accelerates deep packet inspection.
- Sized and supported by Nuformat across Canada and the USA, outright or on monthly and HWaaS terms.
What Xstream Protection includes
Xstream Protection is the full Sophos threat stack: intrusion prevention, deep packet inspection, deep-learning malware analysis, real-time cloud sandboxing, TLS 1.3 inspection, DNS protection, and cloud management at no extra cost.
Frequently asked questions
Standard or Xstream Protection? Standard covers the base firewall plus SD-WAN and ZTNA. Xstream adds the full threat stack, including TLS inspection and cloud sandboxing. Most networks want Xstream.
Can I pay monthly instead of a term upfront? Yes. Ask us about monthly licensing and Hardware as a Service (HWaaS) for the XGS 118w.
Is cloud management included? Yes, at no extra cost, through the Sophos console.
