DEEP PACKET INSPECTION FIREWALL
Going far beyond simple stateful inspection, SonicWALL’s deep packet inspection engine scans against multiple application types and protocols, ensuring your network is protected from both internal and external attacks and application vulnerabilities. SonicWALL’s deep packet inspection engine scales to protect all users, regardless of file size or the amount of traffic, making SonicWALL solutions second to none. Also, by working at the application layer, SonicWALL’s deep packet inspection protects against hidden application vulnerabilities that may be inadvertently letting attackers in through an unknown back door.
UNIFIED THREAT MANAGEMENT
As a multi-service platform, SonicWALL’s line of firewall/VPN appliances incorporates the broadest level of protection available through Unified Threat Management (UTM). UTM combines multiple security features into a single platform, protecting against attacks, viruses, Trojans, spyware and other malicious threats. Incorporating deep packet inspection and gateway protection, allows SonicWALL’s UTM appliances to deliver superior performance at a reasonable price. Unified Threat Management brings you the best of both worlds—reducing complexity and simplifying management, while delivering multiple layers of protection under a single management console.
SONICWALL VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKING
SonicWALL's virtual private networking (VPN) technology lets you establish a secure and extensive VPN that is easy to manage and administer. For secure site-to-site communication, SonicWALL’s network security appliances feature high-speed IPSec VPN capabilities. For remote client-to-host secure access, SonicWALL offers both SSL VPN and IPSec VPN connectivity options. For SSL VPN, SonicWALL NetExtender allows for clientless remote access for Windows, Mac and Linux-based systems utilizing a web-portal to provide connectivity and access. For IPSec VPN, SonicWALL Global VPN Client enables the client system to download the VPN client for a more traditional client-based VPN experience.
SonicWALL also makes a complete line of SSL VPN appliances which offer remote access and management capabilities which organizations may need depending on their size, network complexity or overall security needs.
Clean Wireless
SonicWALL's Clean Wireless Solution integrates 802.11n and 802.11a/b/g wireless with an enterprise-class UTM appliance to provide gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention. The solution consists of TZ, NSA and E-Class NSA appliances managing distributed SonicPoint-N™ and SonicPoint™ wireless access point devices. Businesses can deploy these access points throughout the network to establish trusted wireless security.
SECURE 3G WIRELESS BROADBAND NETWORKING
The SonicWALL TZ 190 Series enables the use of the Internet even in locations where wired broadband access is unavailable or requires time consuming installation and provisioning. By leveraging recent advances in 3G wireless broadband technologies, organisations can rapidly establish high-speed access for seasonal kiosks, mobile point-of-sale stations, portable ATM machines, disaster recovery networks, construction sites, and more as either a backup to a wired line or as a primary Internet connection.
FAILOVER AND FAILBACK TECHNOLOGIES WITH LOAD BALANCING
The high-end redundancy features of SonicWALL PRO and TZ Series appliances provide small and mid-size organisations with business continuity and disaster recovery at levels of reliability usually reserved for larger enterprises. Advanced features include active-passive failover for distributing or load sharing outbound WAN traffic, and hardware failover for automatically activating a passive appliance to assume responsibility for forwarding traffic. Failover even extends to the VPN, allowing remote branches to connect to a secondary gateway if the primary gateway is unavailable.
VIEWPOINT MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING SOFTWARE
Administrators require deep intelligence about network utilisation and user activity without having to sift through large amounts of data. SonicWALL ViewPoint reporting software graphically illustrates network activity, such as bandwidth utilisation, VPN reporting, threats observed, Web site usage, and more. Keeping compliant with external mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA using ViewPoint’s customised reporting features is simple. All reports are comprehensive and easy to read, providing insight into usage trends and security events that can be easily distributed.
EASE OF USE
Small and mid-size organisations want the flexibility to add sophisticated network security features without adding complexity. By integrating advanced yet easy-to-use tools and capabilities directly into SonicWALL® TZ and PRO Series appliances, SonicWALL has engineered the complexity out of high performance secure networking.
CENTRALISED POLICY-BASED MANAGEMENT
The SonicWALL® Global Management System (GMS) gives administrators and solution providers the control to monitor, configure and report on dozens of SonicWALL appliances from a single intuitive interface. Real-time monitoring features send alerts as soon as an issue is detected. With GMS, administrators can easily view, group, and manage the policies and configurations of SonicWALL appliances on local or distributed networks. Custom GMS reports and policies can help you streamline compliance initiatives.
