SonicWall Partners leverage the visibility delivered by Network Security Management (NSM) to be their greatest ally in maintaining a comprehensive view of every network element that can create disaster for their customers.

How many times have you found yourself saying, “Didn’t see THAT coming…”?

When it comes to data and network security, it’s a phrase you can’t afford to indulge in. Threats to the protection and privacy of your high-value business data assets are constantly under assault. Bad actors across the internet are continually devising innovative ways to attack you and either obtain your assets, deny you access to them, or both.

At the same time, it is all too likely that people within your organization are misusing, abusing or outright stealing others’ privileges to gain access to data they should not be authorized to access. Various studies estimate that the frequency of internal attacks far exceeds that of external ones.

You Need to See It to Protect Against It

Most network exploits hit like a punch to the back of your head. You never see it coming. In a nutshell, that’s what you most have to protect against. The fact is that you really cannot measure or defend against what you cannot see, which is why you need to see everything. Every firewall on every network segment must constantly be visible to you. Packet traffic across the network must continuously be visible to help you detect oncoming threats. Global and tenant-level visibility and productivity reports surface users’ behavior in web traffic, complete with historical trends.

SonicWall NSM – Your Eye-Opening Experience

SonicWall NSM offers live monitoring, live reporting, and uptime reporting features that enable you to monitor applications, bandwidth usage, connection usage, CPU/memory usage and per-interface usage.

Live Monitor provides real-time viewing of packets forwarded by the firewall and is visible when viewing from individual firewalls. Group View or Global View is provided in the Device Manager. All data shown in Live Monitor is saved for historical reasons and available at any time in Live Reports.

The Up Time Report provides a real-time view of each firewall's uptime and downtime information. The data can be viewed in graph and grid views.

Add to this an extensive array of reporting and analytics. SonicWall NSM provides the most comprehensive view of your network, the deployed devices, and the packet traffic. You see everything you need to see to effectively monitor everything you need to know to assure optimal protection and performance. Also, you can provide your customers with custom-scheduled reports to add tangible value to their service relationship with you.
