This year, we’re revolutionizing the firewall, giving our award-winning SG Series appliances an all-new operating system that combines the best of both Sophos and Cyberoam technology.

The codename for this new firewall platform is Project Copernicus, and we’re excited to inform you that the beta phase is now underway. This is your invitation to take an early look at the new software and put it to the test.

To get a brief introduction to Project Copernicus and it’s many innovations, watch this short video(password: Copernicus2015!).

Of course, we don’t recommend updating production systems to beta firmware. But if you’re interested in exploring first-hand what Project Copernicus has to offer – and helping us continue to fine-tune it by providing your feedback – we would love to have you participate.

To get started, simply visit sophos.com/copernicusbeta to download the new Sophos Firewall OS for your SG Series, Intel hardware platform, or virtual environment of choice. Then head to the Sophos User Bulletin Board to find documentation and tips, and share your feedback.
