Sophos Switch is a highly anticipated addition to the Sophos product portfolio.<\/p>\n

This week, we\u2019re starting the enablement activities for Sophos Switch (together with ZTNA), as part of our Secure Access Portfolio. This post provides a few key dates for your diary and a snapshot of the models we plan to launch.<\/p>\n

The Sophos Switch Series<\/h2>\n

The Sophos Switch Series will eventually consist of ten models, eight of which are planned for release from mid-December. We will offer models with 8, 24, or 48 ports, either 1GE or 2.5GE, and including various Power over Ethernet options. Together with Sophos Firewall and Sophos Wireless, this gives you a single vendor for network security, all managed in Sophos Central. This opens up completely new cross-sell and upsell opportunities to expand your Sophos footprint and strengthen your pitch by “selling the network stack”.<\/p>\n
