New UTM 9.4 mentioned on Blog

Jan,

What about the promised Security Heartbeat feature of 9.4, the blog article says nothing about that?

Martin, when did we promise Security Heartbeat in 9.4?
I do not remember that, can you share where you got this from?
Currently it is not planned to have Security Heartbeat in UTM.

Jan, I was told in Rome at the partner conference (Don't aske me who, I talked with so many Sophos Employees, including you :-) ), but also here:

https://www.sophos.com/en-us/lp/security-heartbeat.aspx

I have been converting customers the last two months from Sophos Endpoint protection UTM, to Sophos Cloud Endpoint protection Advanced, because I promised they would get this feature...

But as I read along the Web, i can see that only XG firewall is supported...guess we'll have to wait for that.

Sorry for that Martin... as you already mentioned it is XG only for now, the UTM link on the website actually directs to XG UTM. I can see why this can be confusing... I will talk to our Webteam and try to get this clarified in a better way.

Even without Security Heartbeat the Sophos Cloud Endpoint Advanced is delivering a bigger value and features for your customers...

@JanWeber: Are there any plans to implement RED connections via IPv6? That would be a "killer"

It is on the roadmap Ben, but it will take at least till the 9.5 release maybe even later. IPv6 enablement is high on the list for many features.

@JanWeber: over a year ago i started handing in bug reports of broken ipv6 prefix delegation over pppoe. Its been broken forever and despite having 2 quality engineers have a look and confirm the problem, nothing has been done. I would appreciate if IPv6 would be taken more seriously because it is the way to go.
