Description
Unlock the full power of your firewall data with Sophos Central Firewall Reporting Advanced. While all Sophos XGS Firewalls include 7 days of free cloud reporting, this license extends your data retention for up to 365 days and provides much more powerful, customizable reporting tools.
This service is essential for compliance (like PCI-DSS), long-term threat analysis, and gaining deep insights into your network traffic. It is licensed based on your storage needs, starting with a base 100GB block. You can add more 100GB blocks as your data needs grow.
Key Features & Benefits

FAQs for Firewall Reporting Advanced
Q: How do I know how many 100GB blocks I need?
A: Sophos Central provides a built-in storage calculator. You can enable a free trial of Advanced Reporting, and after a few days, the firewall will estimate your daily data usage, allowing you to accurately purchase the correct number of 100GB blocks for the year.
Q: Is this license per-firewall or per-account?
A: This license is purchased per-firewall. Each firewall you want to have 365-day retention for will need its own Central Firewall Reporting Advanced license.
Q: Is this the same as the "Data Storage Pack Add-on for MDR"?
A: No. This product is only for firewall logs. The "Data Storage Pack Add-on for MDR" is for extending the storage of MDR/XDR data (from endpoints, servers, etc.) in the Sophos Data Lake. They are separate products.
