    I'm using actually Sophos UTM with Verison 9.6xx. The Portscan feature is not a "nice to have", it is a "must have" feature. So i'm wondering, Sophos XG doesn't have this feature. i looked for the pasted comments, and i think , Sophos MUST support Portscan detection an anti-portscan detecting to implement... quickly !!!!

    So, Please add port scanning feature. Its essential part of Network Protection

    Is this feature even being considered? sure there are DoS & spoof protection but an easy way to stop port scans and blacklist the IP that is scanning would be great. Watchguard has had this as the default behavior for a long time.

    Sometimes I think Sophos should have put more energy into the mature UTM product. XG has been lagging behind for years

    Can we please please please get this baked into future firmwares ?
    It's an incredibly useful feature this to reduce internet noise.

    Changed from UTM to XG and were suprised this nice little feature were completely missing. This would add another layer of protection against hosts canning networks for open ports.

    Such a basic feature. I didn't know Sophos didnt have this before buying it :(

    Even opensource firewalls like pfsense and zeroshell seem to handle this.Then,why can't a commercial firewall like Sophos do it?
