CyberCNS can evaluate the security policy of your Sophos Firewall and flag any potential shortcomings. You can initiate a Firewall Scan from the Integrations menu.
Navigate to Integrations
In the CyberCNS portal, navigate to Global Settings(⚙) > Integrations and choose Sophos from the integrations listed.
Next, you will add credentials for your Sophos firewall.
Sophos XG
Enter Credentials
Before adding the Hostname/ IP address please make sure that the Probe Agent IP has API permission.
API Key field is not required to be added into CyberCNS for Sophos XG.
3. Enter Name: Choose a name of your choice for the credentials to be added.
4. Enter Hostname/IP Address: Enter a hostname/IP address for the credentials to be added.
5. In the screen depicted below, grant the API permission to the probe IP address.
Add the probe machine IP under the API section and click on Apply.
6. Enter Port Number: Enter the web API port number for the credentials to be added. Currently, use port 4444.
7. Enter Username: Enter the username used to log in to the Sophos Firewall. It is recommended that you define a special username to be used exclusively for these scans so that they can be identified in the firewall’s logs.
8. Enter Password: Enter the password used to log in to the Sophos Firewall.
9. Select an associated company: Select an existing company in order to add the firewall as an asset of that company.
10. Select Probe/Agent: Select a Probe/Agent of the selected company to be used for the scan. If no agent is installed for the company, an external scan agent can be used to initiate firewall scans from the CyberCNS Server (e.g abc.mycybercns.com).
11. Once all the data have been entered, click Save.
Note that multiple credentials can be added by using the '+' sign. Each set of credentials can be attached to a company and then to an agent under that company.

After the credentials have been successfully added to the company, the Firewalls tab will be added to the Main Menu.
12. In the Firewalls section, click Firewall Scan to initiate a scan of all the configured firewalls.
13. When the scan is completed, details of Users, Zones, Groups, Interfaces, Access Rules, and Services are populated for the Sophos Firewall.
Completed firewall scans are listed with timestamps as shown below. To view the results of a scan, click the scan in the list.
The scan results can be downloaded as a report in the Microsoft Word .docx format by clicking Download Report.
