How to: navigate the XG Firewall admin console (VIDEO)

XG FirewallWe’ve created a comprehensive library of “How-To” videos to help you get the most out of your Sophos XG Firewall, including a series of Getting Started and Networking videos.

Today I’d like to share a video giving you a quick tour of the XG Firewall admin console.

This video shows you how to navigate the Network Security Control Center and explains how to get insights and reports about your network, users, endpoints and devices.

Check out this video to see how to:

  • Use the help menu and admin dropdown for convenient access to information about your firewall.
  • Get real-time insights into your system status.
  • Use the flip-card view to reveal additional information about any widget.
  • Access network diagnostic tools, graphs and historical data.
  • View and download important risk reports.
  • Use the Active Policies widget for policy housekeeping.
  • Use the product navigation menus for easy access to various dashboards, policies, reports and protection configuration options.
  • Use the Message Center for information about firmware updates or warnings about insecure settings.

You can watch the entire Getting Started video series on the Sophos YouTube channel.
