Sophos XGS Firewall Integration Guide🔗

The following instructions are for configuring a Sophos XGS firewall to facilitate log ingestion into Secureworks® Taegis™ XDR.

Connectivity Requirements🔗

Sophos XGS Firewall Antivirus, DHCP, Managementevent Auth, HTTP, Netflow Email, NIDS

Note

XDR detectors are not guaranteed to be triggered, even if a data source's logs are normalized to a schema associated with a given detector. However, you can create Custom Alert Rules to generate alerts based on normalized data from a data source.

Configuration Instructions🔗

Sophos XGS should be configured to send logs via syslog to the Taegis™ XDR Collector. Please follow the instructions in Sophos’s documentation to add a syslog server.

Consider the following requirements when completing the configuration steps:

  • IP Address / Domain — The IP address of the XDR Collector
  • Port — 514
  • Facility — Any facility, as this does not impact log forwarding
  • Severity Level — Info
  • Format — Standard syslog protocol
