protecting the SSL service

Hi
Currently considering enabling and using the builtin ssl remote access function within my firewall, but do I have to take measures to securing the UTM or is this "safe by default". By using the SSL VPN functionality I basically are exposing https on the firewall. Couldn´t this be uses as a jumping point for penetrating my network?
Any thoughts about this would be highly appreciated.

Hi Andy,

It is safe by default, but you can change the port used by UTM to listen for incoming connections if you like. Remote access --> SSL --> Settings

Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
