By clicking on the firewall name, you will automatically log in to the backend of the firewall and can now make your configurations as usual. Over time, a list of all the firewalls you have added will appear in your Central Account. This will then appear in your Central Account. In the backend of the firewall you can register the firewall with Central via the menu item “Central synchronization”. You can create this for free and firewall management is also a free feature. In order to use the firewall management, you need a Sophos Central account. Let’s take a quick look at the basic features and how you can get started with Central Firewall Manager.
However, the latter is absolute crap in my eyes and seeing where the journey is going with SCFM, it will certainly be discontinued in the medium term.
On the UTM, there is the Sophos UTM Manager (SUM) for this purpose, and for the SFOS, the Sophos Firewall Manager can also be used. The tool helps us especially to keep track of customers with multiple firewalls. Sure, the features currently available are still a bit sparse, but Sophos their vision behind it is phenomenal. Personally, I find the Sophos Central Firewall Manager (SCFM) absolutely brilliant. Info: If you want to learn all about what’s new in the upcoming SFOS v18, you can find my detailed post about it here: Sophos SFOS v18: New features at a glance. With SFOS v18, however, the functions of the Central Firewall Manager have now been greatly enhanced. However, the functionality of this early version was very limited, which made the product not really interesting yet. This was followed somewhat later by Sophos Central Firewall Manager. The first connection between the firewall and Central has already been established by implementing Synchronized Security.
