Introducing SonicOS 7
Scale faster, protect more and re-gain control. The new SonicOS 7 architecture is SonicWall’s most advanced security operating system and is at the core of our latest physical and virtual firewalls, including models from the TZ, NSv and NSsp Series.
SonicOSX 7 for Enterprise Firewalls
Featuring new Unified Security Policy capabilities, SonicOSX 7 simplifies complex policy, audit and management controls with firmware designed for large-scale enterprises and government agencies. Get powerful threat protection and gain visibility across distributed and hybrid networks.
What's New in SonicOS 7
Advanced Protection Against Encrypted Threats
TLS 1.3 decryption detects threats hiding in encrypted traffic without sacrificing performance.
Simplified Integrations
New Rest APIS allow SonicWall firewalls to be integrated with other security solutions, including hybrid policy orchestrators, SIEM, RMM, NAC, SOAR and more.
Multi-instance Support
SonicOS 7’s multi-instance support for enterpise firewalls allows multiple independent firewall instances to run on the same hardware, achieving multi-tenancy and maximizing operational simplicity.
Easy, Zero-Touch Deployment
The new SonicExpress Mobile App offers true zero-touch deployment, eliminating truck rolls, saving money, and easing the deployment of golden configs at branch locations.
Simplify Oversight with a Modern User Interface
SonicOS 7's modern and intuitive user interface features intelligent device dashboards, redesigned topologies, and simplified policy creation and management.
Network and threat dashboards provide a top-level summary of the overall health of the appliance and threat insights based on what the firewall sees in your network.
“With the re-developed SonicOS 7, the speed of the interface feels like working on a powerful computer. It’s smooth and sleek and allows for a more granular dissection of what the firewall is doing. Paired with the new NSM Network Security Manager, where the interfaces are practically identical, it is a GUI match made in heaven.”
