Integration of Sophos with ManageEngine Log360

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.
