Backbone Business Networks Rolls Out Sophos XGS 88 Firewalls Across NDIS Sector
Brisbane, QLD – March 2025 – Backbone Business Networks (BBN), a trusted IT partner for Australia's supported care industry, has successfully deployed five units of the new Sophos XGS 88 firewall across multiple NDIS providers in Queensland, delivering cutting-edge security and network performance to frontline disability services.
The Sophos XGS 88 is the latest addition to the Sophos firewall range, offering enterprise-grade protection in a compact, affordable form factor. With powerful dual processors, integrated SD-WAN capabilities, and AI-driven threat protection, it’s perfectly suited to the needs of NDIS providers seeking to secure sensitive client data while maintaining high availability for cloud-based applications such as the NDIS portal, Office 365, and modern case management systems.
“Security, performance, and simplicity are critical for NDIS providers,” said a BBN spokesperson. “The Sophos XGS 88 allows small-to-medium organisations to gain the same level of protection as major enterprises — with zero compromise on usability or compliance.”
The five deployments were completed across supported accommodation and community care providers in the Brisbane and South East Queensland region. Each site benefited from tailored configuration, secure VPN access for mobile support workers, and advanced web filtering to ensure a safe and compliant IT environment.
With data security and cyber insurance compliance becoming increasingly important in the disability sector, BBN’s rollout of the Sophos XGS 88 represents a proactive step forward — protecting vulnerable Australians and the organisations that care for them.
