SFOS Hotfixes automatic application

High

Explanation

Set hotfixes to be applied automatically whenever there is an out-of-band security update available for the device.

Rationale

Security updates of the Sophos Firewall can be released at any time. Hotfixes should be allowed and applied automatically to ensure Sophos Firewall and the rest of the network remain protected from known vulnerabilities.

Resolution

  1. Go to System > Backup & Firmware > Firmware > Hotfix.
  2. Select the Allow automatic installation of hotfixes checkbox.
  3. Click Apply.
