Integration of Sophos with ManageEngine Log360

Integration type: Log management

Integrating Sophos XG firewalls with ManageEngine Log360 strengthens your security posture by providing continuous monitoring and comprehensive reporting of all security events generated by your Sophos XG devices. This powerful combination elevates threat detection by leveraging advanced analytics. Log360 analyzes Sophos XG firewall logs alongside data from other sources, identifying complex threats like coordinated attacks or advanced persistent threats.

How the integration works

Sophos XG firewalls and endpoint protection solutions generate valuable security data. ManageEngine Log360 seamlessly integrates with these Sophos components to collect and analyze their logs for comprehensive security visibility. Sophos XG firewalls continuously monitor network traffic to identify and block potential threats, while endpoint protection safeguards devices from malware, ransomware, and other cyberattacks.

By centralizing logs from Sophos XG firewalls, Log360 empowers you to conduct in-depth analysis of security events. This integrated approach enables efficient threat detection, swift incident response, and helps ensure adherence to your organization's security policies.
