Sophos Central - (client firewall?)

Question

I have just purchased the "Sophos Central - Endpoint Advanced" and cannot see an option to configure a software firewall; 
 Has this been dropped from Sophos Central? And how is everyone else managing client firewalls? tia ..

Thanks Jak, I did get confirmation form Sophos that the firewall has been dropped, I think that it would be a great idea if Sophos were to implement some type of management for the windows firewall, at least so that you are aware of the status and that it is active on the client machines, GPO can sometimes be unreliable..

Hi Everyone, 
 
 Windows Endpoint Firewall Control feature is available for Endpoint Standard/Advanced and Server Standard/Advanced licenses from 05th June 2018. 
 It can be used to monitor and can manage the state of Windows Firewall on most Windows desktops and servers. 
 In central dashboard Under Endpoint Protection > Policies and Server Protection > Policies, a new policy for the Windows Firewall is added. 
 The following additional &lsquo;Setting&rsquo; can be found in the local Sophos Endpoint interface.

More details can be found in the KBA Windows Firewall Control connection types and Sophos Central - Windows GPO settings
