Application Firewall »
Traditional firewalls focus on blocking threats. UTM firewalls enhance the completeness of threat blocking capabilities to include Anti-Virus, IP Security, and more. An Application Firewall extends that protection beyond threats to the management and control of data and applications which pass through the network security appliance. This extended capability provides bandwidth management and control, application level access controls, data leakage control functionality, restrictions on the transfer of specific files and documents, and much more. The Application Firewall is available as part of gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention on all SonicWALL E-Class NSA, NSA and TZ 210 solutions. more info »

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.
