Sophos XGS 118 Firewall

Description

The Sophos XGS 118 is a 2nd-generation desktop firewall engineered to meet the demands of modern small to mid-sized businesses that have transitioned to high-speed fiber and Wi-Fi 6 environments. Built on the Xstream Architecture, the XGS 118 introduces a massive performance leap over the 116 series, featuring 2.5 GbE copper interfaces across all ports to eliminate network bottlenecks.

With its dual-processor design, the XGS 118 separates resource-heavy security scanning from data processing, ensuring that even under full load—with deep packet inspection and TLS 1.3 decryption active—your network remains incredibly fast.
