Capture Security Center Offers Ultimate Visibility, Agility
One of the cornerstones of the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform is the SonicWall Capture Security Center, originally released as SonicWall Cloud GMS. Delivered as a cost-effective service offering, the SonicWall Capture Security Center offers the ultimate in visibility, agility and capacity to govern entire SonicWall security operations and services with greater clarity, precision and speed — all from a single pane of glass.

By establishing a holistic and connected approach to security orchestration, the SonicWall Capture Security Center federates all operational aspects of the SonicWall network security ecosystem. The open, scalable center simplifies and, in many cases, automates various tasks to promote better security coordination while reducing the complexity, time and expense of performing security operations and administrations.

Introducing the SonicWall Virtual Firewall Series
Extending SonicWall’s vision to the world of cloud and virtualization, SonicWall Network Security virtual (NSv) firewalls protect all critical components of private and public cloud environments. SonicWall NSv virtual firewalls deliver the security advantages of a physical firewall with the operational and economic benefits of virtualization, including system scalability and agility, speed of system provisioning, simple management and cost reduction. The new virtual firewalls help organizations:

  • Gain more visibility into intra-host communication between virtual machines for automated breach prevention
  • Ensure appropriate placement of security policies for applications throughout the virtual environment
  • Implement proper security zoning and isolation
  • Prevent unauthorized takeover of virtual systems
  • Stop unauthorized access to protected data
  • Block malicious and intrusive actions, such as spreading malware, executing operating system commands, file system browsing and command-and-control (C&C) communication

“Extending trusted SonicWall security capabilities to private and public cloud environments gives our customers the agility, cost-effectiveness and flexibility they need to operate their business or organization successfully,” said Joshua Skeens, Director of Engineering at Cerdant, a SonicWall SecureFirst Partner. “We’re already witnessing customers execute with speed and determination — all with full confidence in the security of their virtual and cloud environments. It’s truly a powerful differentiator.”

NSv virtual firewalls operate on the same feature-rich SonicOS operating system that powers the entire SonicWall firewall line. SonicOS offers advanced security, networking and management capabilities, plus tight integration with other SonicWall solutions.

SonicOS provides organizations with the network control and flexibility they require through application intelligence and control, real-time visualization, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) featuring sophisticated anti-evasion technology, high-speed virtual private networking (VPN) and other robust security features.

SonicWall WAF Protects Applications in Private, Public or Hybrid Cloud Environments
The new SonicWall Web Application Firewall (WAF) delivers defense-in-depth capabilities to protect web applications running in private, public or hybrid cloud environments. Organizations in regulated industries gain a complete, out-of-box compliance solution for application-centric security that is easy to manage and deploy.

SonicWall WAF features advanced web security tools and services to keep compliance data unexposed and web properties safe, undisrupted and in peak performance. It employs a combination of signature-based and application profiling deep-packet inspection, and high-performance, real-time intrusion scanning engine using event-driven architecture to dynamically defend against evolving threats as outlined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), as well as more advanced web application threats like denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and context-aware exploits.

The SonicWall WAF behavior-based detection engine learns, interrogates and baselines regular web application usage behaviors and identifies anomalies that may be indicative of attempts to compromise the application, steal data and/or cause a denial-of-service. The WAF acceleration features apply Layer-7 application delivery capabilities that enable application-aware load balancing, SSL offloading and acceleration for resilience and an enhanced digital engagement and experience.

Like the SonicWall NSv series, SonicWall WAF can be deployed as a virtual appliance in private clouds based on VMWare or Microsoft Hyper-V, or in Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure public cloud environments.

Unified, Next-Generation Endpoint Protection
The new SonicWall Capture Client extends an organization’s ability to defend endpoint devices that connect and interact with its networks, applications and data.

SonicWall Capture Client is a unified client platform that delivers multiple endpoint protection capabilities, including next-generation malware protection and support for visibility into encrypted traffic. It leverages layered protection technologies, comprehensive reporting and enforcement for endpoint protection. The new solution:

  • Extends advanced malware protection to endpoint devices
  • Delivers critical ‘rollback’ capabilities
  • Enables continuous behavioral monitoring
  • Uses machine learning for highly accurate determinations
  • Simplifies management via a cloud-based console
  • Integrates with SonicWall next-generation firewalls for easy rollout and client enforcement

SonicWall Capture Client also significantly simplifies DPI-SSL encrypted traffic analysis by solving one of the most difficult challenges: how to deploy certificates on all end points. SonicWall Capture Client simplifies this process by installing and helping manage trusted TLS certificates on all endpoints behind a firewall. With approximately 68 percent of all traffic being encrypted, it’s absolutely crucial that organizations activate DPI-SSL capabilities to ensure cyberattacks aren’t evading security controls to infiltrate their networks.

SonicWall Updates NSa Firewall Lineup
SonicWall also announces updates to its Network Security appliance (NSa) range of next-generation firewalls. The new NSa 3650, 4650 and 5650 models continue the evolution of SonicWall’s vision for a deeper level of network security without a performance penalty.

More than simply a replacement for their predecessors, this trio of NSa firewalls address the growing trends in web encryption, connected devices and high-speed mobility. The new NSa series models offer more than double the number of SPI connections (up to 4 million) and quadruple the number of DPI-SSL connections compared to their predecessors.

Built on a multi-core hardware architecture featuring 10-GbE and 2.5-GbE interfaces, the NSa series scales to meet the performance demands of mid-sized networks, branch offices and distributed enterprises.

The new SonicOS 6.5.1, an upgrade to 2017’s historic SonicOS 6.5.0 that offered more than 50 new features, delivers bi-directional APIs and up to 18 times the number of DPI-SSL connections over NSa firewall predecessors.

“Demonstrated by our agility, innovation and rapid execution, SonicWall is delivering more customer- and partner-focused security solutions, capabilities and features than ever before,” said Conner. “It started last year with a historic mobile security launch and continues today with the delivery of cybersecurity solutions and threat intelligence capabilities made accessible via a powerful and connected cloud platform.”

SonicWall Capture Security Center, Network Security virtual (NSv) firewalls, Network Security appliance (NSa) firewalls, SonicWall WAF and SonicWall Capture Client will be available to purchase in the first half of calendar year 2018.

SonicWall Report Details Exponential Increase in Overall Cyberattacks; Reveals Potential Revenue Risk for Businesses

At least 12.6% of an organization’s annual revenues were at risk to cyber threats Sensors detected 125% attack hours – 10 attack hours in an 8-hour workday Businesses endured on average 1,104 hours of critical attacks during a span of 880 working hours; protected from a potential of 46 days of downtime Malware trended up 30% YoY, including a massive 92% spike in May alone Ransomware intensifies in North America (+15%) and explodes in LATAM (+51%) IoT attacks (+107%) and encrypted threats (+92%) continue to climb globally 83% of customer-received alerts seen by our managed services team are related to cloud apps and compromised credentials SonicWall identified 78,923 ‘never-before-seen’ malware variants – 526 a day MILPITAS, Calif. — July 24, 2024 — SonicWall today released the 2024 SonicWall Mid-Year Cyber Threat Report, researched and compiled by SonicWall Capture Labs, which unveils yet another rise in overall attacks, after seeing an 11% increase observed in 2023. The report details the evolving threat landscape over the first five months of this year, highlighting the persistent, relentless and escalating nature of cyber threats globally. This report has been built with SonicWall’s partners in mind, and much like SonicWall itself, has undergone a significant transformation. The report has evolved in how it measures critical cyberthreat data to include time as a factor. It also highlights the latest trends that are impacting our partners and the customers they serve, and for the first time the report ties attacks to tangible business impact, including potential revenue risk. “As threat actors continue to add more efficient and sophisticated tactics, we knew the threat report had to evolve to suit our partners’ and customers’ needs,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bob VanKirk. “The report is current and includes timely trends and provides our partners, MSPs, MSSPs and customers with actionable intelligence to help them create and implement strategies to help their customers combat these threats whether new or old.” Rising Attacks and Revenue Protected SonicWall intelligence found that on average, companies were under critical attack – the type of attack most likely to deplete business resources - for 1,104 hours out of 880 working hours. That means that customers were shielded from a potential 46 days of business downtime in just the first five months of 2024, protecting 12.6% of total revenues and defending against potentially devastating intrusions. “The data and examples found in the report provide real life examples of how crafty and swift malicious actors operate, underscoring that traditional cybersecurity defenses often prove to be the most reliable,” said SonicWall Executive Director of Threat Research Douglas McKee. “Data is not just a resource; it's our frontline defense against cybercrime, revealing critical insights that inform allocation of resources and enable targeted and proactive cybersecurity measures.” The 2024 SonicWall Mid-Year Cyber Threat Report provides insight on a range of threats, including: Malware – Total global malware volume rose 30% in the first half of 2024, seeing a massive 92% increase in May alone. Ransomware – Ransomware is trending up with an increase of +15% in NOAM and a resounding +51% in LATAM, but EMEA is pulling the global numbers down, logging a -49% decrease. IoT Malware – IoT attacks rose by 107%, with affected devices averaging 52.8 hours under attack. Additionally, 15% of all malware now uses software packing as its main MITRE TTP. Cryptojacking – After a record-breaking year, Cryptojacking dropped 60%. Most of the globe saw a decrease, with the exception of India, which saw a staggering 409% increase. “The threat landscape is completely overwhelming for organizations and the teams who defend them,” said SonicWall Partner and Fornida COO Steven Huang. “Most cybersecurity breaches include some degree of human error. Ultimately, there are two ways to battle this; reducing opportunity and educating users. The fewer opportunities there are for an error, the less users will be tested. And the more knowledge they have, the less likely they are to make a mistake even when they face an opportunity to do so.” Patented RTDMI Discovered ‘Never-Before-Seen’ Malware Variants SonicWall’s patented Real-Time Deep Memory InspectionTM (RTDMITM) technology identified a total of 78,923 never-before-seen malware variants in the first five months of 2024. The threat landscape remains complex, with over 500 strains of new variants discovered each day.

SonicWall Launches EMEA Managed Security Services Backed by a 24×7 European Security Operations Center (SOC)

SonicWall delivers on its promises of more fortification and flexibility for EMEA partners with key Managed Security Services additions – all ahead of strict new EU tech regulations MILPITAS, Calif. — July 3, 2024 — SonicWall announced today that it has rolled out its new Managed Security Services suite for European Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and other partners, all backed by a new locally-based 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC) providing local understanding of regional cyber threats, regulations, and business environments, enhancing threat detection and response capabilities. The announcement reinforces SonicWall’s commitment to its valued partners and extends its portfolio to include EMEA-based Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Security Operations Center services (SOCaaS), and other managed security services that are delivered in partnership with MSPs and MSSPs. “Within the past year, SonicWall made a commitment to its global partners that it would take an endpoint agnostic and flexible tailored to their unique journeys – we delivered that in February,” said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. “Building on this commitment, we’re now introducing managed security services, an EMEA-based SOC, and a suite of additional tools and resources essential for our partners’ success. Our establishment of an EMEA-based SOC with European data residency further strengthens our promise to empower partners with local expertise and rapid response capabilities, crucial for effective client protection amidst Europe's ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. Additionally, we've upheld our pledge to partners by recently launching MDR for Capture Client, Sentinel One, and Microsoft Defender. SonicWall’s European-based SOC is now available, ensuring European partners can offer their customers enterprise-grade SOC monitoring while remaining compliant with European regulations. In many cases, MSPs and other organizations don’t have an in-house SOC team monitoring alerts and managing the performance of security solutions around the clock, meaning there can be delays in taking defensive action at critical times. Alert fatigue can also be a problem as it can be difficult to identify true problems in the noise of false positives. Adding a SOC provides 24x7x365 monitoring, so that alerts are prioritized, and no alert is missed, no matter when it comes in. Sustained EMEA Momentum This announcement comes a week after the conclusion of SonicWall’s EMEA Partner Conference Elevate 2024, held in Lisbon, Portugal. Partners from across Europe joined SonicWall’s leadership for a hands-on understanding of SonicWall’s new Managed Security Services solutions, and for a better understanding on how to grow and diversify their business in an increasingly dynamic threat and business environment. “We listened to our community and delivered solutions that will dramatically impact their businesses, and the feedback we received at Elevate 2024 was overwhelmingly positive,” said SonicWall Chief Strategy Officer Matt Neiderman. “Our commitment to empowering our partners with a platform of modern solutions designed to help them grow their business is evident in both EMEA and around the globe, and we will continue to enhance the solutions and tools they need to sustain this current momentum.” EU’s Strict Regulations The addition of these Managed Security Service solutions comes just ahead of the European Union’s strict new DORA regulations which, from January 17, 2025, will place additional compliance burdens on cybersecurity providers and their customers. Compliance with DORA will involve a rethink of current risk management frameworks and operational resilience assessments including penetration testing, incident response and third-party risks. “The EU is leading the way globally on cyber-resilience to protect its economic interests with DORA,” said SonicWall Vice President of EMEA Spencer Starkey. “SonicWall’s new SOC is physical proof we’re onboard ahead of this important new regulatory reality. We know attackers work internationally and not just nine to five, now our partners can offer ultra-fast, local response capabilities with EU data residency starting today.” The new enterprise-grade SOC is an addition to SonicWall’s existing Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) capabilities announced earlier this year to deliver powerful cybersecurity monitoring and response across the entire attack surface, including firewalls, endpoint protection, antivirus and cloud threat detection for MSPs and MSSPs. “Having a European-based SOC is pivotal for ensuring compliance with stringent regulations like GDPR and DORA,” said long-time SonicWall Partner and CTO at Data-Sec GmbH Moritz Freiherr von Schwerin. “It not only strengthens our ability to protect sensitive data and uphold privacy standards but also enables us to provide localized, agile responses to emerging cybersecurity threats specific to our region. This localization is crucial for maintaining trust and delivering effective security solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients across Europe. SonicWall has enhanced its offerings, both organically and through acquisitions, and they’re focused on supporting us better than ever before.” For more information on SonicWall’s Managed Security Services please visit: https://www.sonicwall.com/products/managed-security-services/.
