Sophos Firewall v21.5 adds a top requested feature: Entra ID single sign-on (SSO) integration with Sophos Connect and the VPN portal.

SSO for Remote Access VPN

Adding single sign-on integration with Sophos Connect and the firewall VPN portal makes remote access VPN easier for end-users enabling them to use their corporate network credentials with the Sophos Connect client and the firewall VPN portal when working remote. It provides cloud-native integration over the industry standard OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols for a seamless experience. It fully supports Entra ID MFA to protect against identity theft and brute force hacks.
