Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 Series
The SMA 1000 Series delivers Zero Trust enterprise‑grade secure access optimized for organizations of all sizes, without sacrificing security, performance, or ease of use. Designed for environments where sensitive assets cannot be moved to the cloud, SMA 1000 enables secure access from anywhere while keeping control firmly in your infrastructure.
Overview
Today’s workforce is mobile, distributed, and dependent on access to mission‑critical applications, many of which remain on‑premises due to regulatory, operational, or security requirements. At the same time, traditional perimeter security and implicit‑trust VPNs no longer provide sufficient protection. The SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 Series delivers enterprise‑grade secure remote access with a Zero Trust foundation, enabling organizations to protect critical resources hosted across on‑premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. SMA 1000 verifies identity, limits access to only what users need, and reduces exposure, without forcing you to move sensitive assets or rely on cloud‑mediated security. Built for scale and resilience, SMA 1000 supports organizations, government agencies, and MSSPs by enabling up to one million remote VPN users across distributed networks. Work from anywhere. Be secured everywhere.

Resources
My organization uses SonicWall SMA to allow employees remote access to their corporate workstations from anywhere at anytime. During the COVID-19 restrictions, this proved invaluable to our organization, as we were able to scale up the number of remoteusers very quickly and cost-effectively.

We are utilizing our SonicWall appliances for SCADA access control and VPN functions. We have standardized on SonicWall due to the level of security and lack of reported vulnerabilities. In a time where SCADA systems for government agencies are under severe attack, SonicWall allows us to feel safe.

SonicWall provides a reliable authentication method for remote users. Gives IT peace of mind knowing who is jumping on the network where and where from. It allows me to justifiably block third-party processes like TeamViewer
