Sophos XGS 118w, appliance only
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). This listing is the appliance on its own, so add a Standard or Xstream Protection subscription to switch the security services on. The w model has Wi-Fi built in, so one unit covers the firewall and the office wireless.
Key specifications
| Firewall throughput | 15,500 Mbps |
| IPS throughput | 3,500 Mbps |
| Threat protection throughput | 3,250 Mbps |
| Concurrent connections | 5,500,000 |
| IPsec VPN throughput | 13,000 Mbps |
| IPsec VPN concurrent tunnels | 1,500 |
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.
Choosing a protection subscription
This is the appliance only. Standard Protection covers the base firewall with SD-WAN and ZTNA; Xstream Protection adds the full threat stack.
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.
