most of LAN<->Server communication detected as "Torrent Clients P2P"

We've replaced a SG by XGS 18.5 MR3 and there is now massive false positive detection of  Torrent Client P2P traffic by application filter.

Most firewall rules for internal traffic have the default Application filter applied: "Block high risk (Risk Level 4 and 5) apps"

We needed to disable that for all internal rules because normal Windows Active Directory, Fileserver or SQL Server access is detected as Torrent Client P2P.

The Endpoints are running Intercept-X Adv.

This is useless the way it is. Why is this false positive happening and what is needed for Sophos to resolve this?  I cannot imagine we're having special network communication.

  • Looks like your LDAP Traffic is detected as Torrent. Could you create a tcpdump of this traffic and send it to Support?
