Sophos UTM: UTM 9.7 beta released Martin 0 Comments Sophos has released UTM 9.7 as beta, it is a very small “new” UTM version, with a small number of features, sadly, but their focus is on XG now, and UTM is moving towards EOL, it is not announced yet. Sophos provide a USB installation option called the Smart Installer for UTM hardware appliances, but this is a special USB drive that emulates a CD, essentially working around the issue. This article steps you through the process of preparing and creating your own Sophos UTM bootable USB installation drive.
Sophos has, after a very short EAP (Beta), released 9.7 as GA, this is what it contains and here it how to download it – it will be rolled out in phases:
- In phase 1 you can download the update package from the download area.
- In phase 2 we will make it available via our Up2Date servers in several stages.
- In phase 3 we will make it available via our Up2Date servers to all remaining installations.
- Support for new APX Access Points
In addition to the legacy AP series access points, UTM 9.7 brings support for the newer Wave 2 APX series access points which can now also be added and managed with UTM 9. This includes support for APX 120, APX 320, APX 530 and APX 740. - Certificate Chain support for WebAdmin and UserPortal
Full certificate chains that are uploaded to UTM for use with WebAdmin and/or UserPortal will no longer be split but will be delivered in full when accessing WebAdmin and/or UserPortal and web browsers will no longer display warnings for these certificates. - Certificate Chain Support for WebProxy
When using an intermediate certificate to sign HTTPS decryption certificates in WebProxy, WebProxy will now build and return a full certificate chain for the generated certificate to avoid browsers showing a warning when not explicitly trusting the intermediate certificate. The root certificate has to be available within the verification CAs. - New RED Site 2 Site Protocol
RED Site 2 Site connections in UTM will now use the same protocol used within XG Firewall for RED Site 2 Site connections. This removes the need to specify legacy RED site 2 site connections in XG Firewall and provides enhancements to the RED site 2 site implementation in UTM. - Retirement of UTM Endpoint Management
As announced with UTM 9.6, UTM endpoint management will be end of life by the end of this year. UTM 9.7 will no longer include the option for Endpoint Management for the UTM Managed Endpoints, Sophos SEC integration is still part of UTM 9.7.
