Sophos RED

Sophos RED (Remote Ethernet Device) protects branch offices and provides secure remote access. Simply plug the device into your Internet router and centrally manage it from the Sophos UTM appliance at headquarters. Sophos RED provides complete protection for even the smallest remote and home offices. It extends your Network, Web and Email Security subscriptions on your Sophos UTM to branch offices. Sophos RED connects securely to your central Sophos UTM, where all your security is managed. So your branch office gets the same level of protection as head office. All you need for a Sophos RED device to work is an active Network Security subscription.

Plug-and-protect deployment Sophos RED makes extending your secure network to other locations easy. It requires no technical skills at the remote site; simply enter the RED device ID into your UTM and ship it. As soon as it's plugged in and connected to the Internet, it will contact your UTM and establish a secure dedicated VPN tunnel. It's that easy.
Flexible configuration Set up your RED devices to tunnel all traffic from the remote location back to the UTM, controlling DHCP and other network elements of the remote network. Or you may choose to only route inter-office network traffic via RED, while enabling direct Internet access from the remote location.
Secure encrypted tunnel All data between the RED and your UTM is encrypted to the strongest AES-256 levels ensuring a tamper- and hack-proof, secure connection. And with our latest SG Series UTM appliances, encryption performance makes this level of protection completely transparent.
Easy centralized management Since RED is effectively a virtual Ethernet cable connecting your remote locations, centralized management of your distributed network is as easy as managing a single location. You can choose to apply the same firewall, web and other security policies across both local and remote traffic. Or you can create custom policies by location, all from your UTM management console.
