Description
Sophos XGS 4500 with Xstream Protection, 5-year
The Sophos XGS 4500 is a 1U rackmount next-generation firewall built for larger sites and the data-centre edge. It inspects encrypted traffic on the appliance itself and is managed from the Sophos cloud console (now becoming Sophos Fusion). It comes with a 5-year Xstream Protection subscription.
Key specifications

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 4500.
Is cloud management included? Yes, at no extra cost, through the Sophos console.
