Standard Protection covers the base license plus Network Protection, Web Protection, and Enhanced Support. Xstream Protection adds Zero-Day Protection, which brings machine learning and cloud sandboxing, along with Central Orchestration for SD-WAN and advanced reporting. Both include the full Xstream TLS and deep packet inspection engine. If you want AI-driven zero-day defense and SD-WAN orchestration built in, go with Xstream.

The XGS 6500 is a 2U enterprise appliance rated for large and distributed enterprises, roughly 2,500 users and up. With 120 Gbps of firewall throughput and 16 Gbps of Xstream TLS inspection, it has the headroom to run full inspection on a busy campus edge, a data center perimeter, or a high-speed ISP connection. Smaller sites are usually a better fit for a 1U XGS or a desktop model.

Every protection bundle includes Enhanced Support, which covers 24/7 technical support, firmware updates, and hardware warranty for the term you buy, whether that is 1, 3, or 5 years. You can step up to Enhanced Plus for direct access to senior Sophos support staff. Pick the term that matches how long you plan to run the appliance so your coverage does not lapse.
