The point
Sophos XG Firewall has WAF as one of its features. Users who are not Sophos XG users who are only looking for WAF can find this product redundant. This is more suitable for SMEs and middle market organizations, as well as those who protect IaaS solutions in Microsoft Azure. If you only want WAF, look elsewhere. But if you need a wider range of functions, consider Sophos.
Product description
The WAF function of Sophos XG Firewall protects the web server used in the network and related applications from the vulnerability of any underlying vulnerability. This protects applications that are accessed via HTTP and HTTPS at Layer 7 (application layer). The web server is also protected from cookie manipulation, energetic browsing, and hidden field manipulation. WAF reduces vulnerabilities caused by users in applications that make web applications open to attack, such as cross-site scripts, cross-directories, and forced URL navigation.
