Description
The Sophos XGS 87 redefines what an entry-level firewall can do. Built on the revolutionary Xstream Architecture, this desktop appliance features a dual-processor design. A high-speed CPU handles deep packet inspection and security logic, while the dedicated Xstream Flow Processor (Network Processing Unit) accelerates trusted traffic like SaaS, SD-WAN, and cloud applications.
Despite its compact, fanless design, the XGS 87 delivers up to 3.7 Gbps of firewall throughput. It is optimized for the modern, encrypted web, offering superior TLS 1.3 inspection to catch hidden threats in encrypted streams without slowing down your connection. For businesses needing all-in-one connectivity, the XGS 87w variant adds integrated dual-band Wi-Fi.
