I nuovi firewall NSsp ad alte prestazioni, la gestione nativa del cloud e l’analisi interna delle minacce stanno rivoluzionando il mercato aziendale nel senso della sicurezza con un valido rapporto qualità-prezzo, nella nuova normalità operativa

MILPITAS, California, 11 agosto 2020. Le nuove imprese distribuite, gli enti pubblici e i fornitori di servizi di sicurezza gestiti (MSSP) sono costantemente alle prese con la necessità di garantire la protezione vitale e immediata delle reti di grandi dimensioni e dei dipendenti che utilizzano il telelavoro, dovendo al tempo stesso attenersi a un numero sempre crescente di obblighi che variano da paese a paese.

SonicWall, un’azienda che propone soluzioni economicamente innovative per gli ambienti a sicurezza elevata, ha annunciato in data odierna nuovi metodi per installare, adeguare e proteggere nel tempo gli investimenti in sistemi di sicurezza per le nuove imprese estese distribuite, gli enti pubblici e gli MSSP. La concezione di sicurezza riformulata di SonicWall razionalizza i controlli di sicurezza di rete e la visibilità dell’intera rete attraverso interfacce utente comprensibili e intuitive.

Questa evoluzione della Cybersecurity illimitata di SonicWall comprende i nuovi firewall ad alte prestazioni NSsp 15700 e multi-gigabit TZ570 e TZ670, il nuovo CSa 1000 per sandboxing con tecnologia Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection™ (RTDMI), i nuovi modelli di firewall virtuali NSv e la gestione modulare della sicurezza nativa per il cloud.

“Le organizzazioni stanno ripensando le attività e la sicurezza dovendo fare i conti con le nuove sfide portate dalla diffusione degli ambienti di massa resa necessaria dalla nuova normalità operativa – ha dichiarato Bill Conner, Presidente e CEO di SonicWall, che ha così proseguito –  e garantire la sicurezza di queste nuove reti estese in modo rapido e completo è diventata una delle principali priorità. Le organizzazioni sono sempre più bersaglio di malintenzionati che cercano di trarre vantaggio delle minacce legate al COVID ai danni di reti distribuite che sono state riorganizzate in tutta fretta – praticamente dall’oggi al domani – per consentire l’accesso al personale che lavora in remoto e in mobilità”.

L’espansione completa della piattaforma Capture Cloud comprende:

  • Il nuovo sistema operativo SonicOS 7.0
  • Il nuovo sistema operativo SonicOSX 7.0 per le imprese distribuite, gli enti pubblici e gli MSSP
  • I nuovi firewall di fascia alta SonicWall NSsp 15700
  • I nuovi firewall virtuali SonicWall NSv 270, 470 e 870
  • Il nuovo SonicWall CSa 1000 con tecnologia RTDMITM
  • I nuovi firewall entry-level SonicWall TZ570 e TZ670
  • La nuova certificazione SNSP (SonicWall Network Security Professional) 2.0

“È giunto il momento di garantire che le organizzazioni interessate possano contare sulla capacità, sulla protezione e sui controlli necessari per potersi difendere con successo senza penalizzare la velocità, la convenienza e l’affidabilità, il tutto nel rispetto dei requisiti normativi” ha dichiarato Bill Conner.

Protezione delle nuove imprese estese distribuite e degli enti pubblici
Forte di una lunga tradizione all’insegna della semplificazione degli aspetti complessi della sicurezza, SonicWall mette la stessa facilità d’uso e le stesse capacità a disposizione delle grandi imprese distribuite, degli enti pubblici e degli MSSP, semplificando la gestione grazie a un approccio più flessibile di facile attuazione.

Il sistema operativo SonicOS 7.0 e Network Security Manager (NSM) 2.0 consentono una visibilità, una gestione e un controllo migliori grazie alle interfacce utente completamente nuove. Il modo di lavorare dell’utente moderno è organizzato in modo intelligente, comprende i pannelli di controllo dei dispositivi, topologie riprogettate, il supporto dell’applicazione mobile SonicExpress e la semplificazione della definizione e della gestione delle politiche.

Realizzato da zero come piattaforma di gestione nativa per il cloud, NSM è stato progettato in funzione della velocità, della modularità e dell’affidabilità per le grandi aziende distribuite. Le grandi aziende e gli enti pubblici possono ottimizzare, controllare, supervisionare e gestire decine di migliaia di dispositivi di sicurezza di rete, come firewall, switch gestiti e access point wireless, il tutto grazie ad una soluzione di gestione della sicurezza affidabile, modulare e nativa per il cloud.

“I prodotti SonicWall hanno sempre funzionato ottimamente, ma il nuovo sistema operativo SonicOS 7.0 abbinato alle apparecchiature di settima generazione costituisce un enorme passo in avanti – ha dichiarato Prabhod T.R., Senior Security Engineer di Thinkss, che ha aggiunto –  e con la versione 7.0 del suo sistema operativo SonicOS l’azienda ha abbandonato le interfacce e le esperienze utente (UI/UX) tradizionali che sono state in voga per anni ed ha cambiato completamente l’aspetto e l’operabilità dei suoi dispositivi, facendo fare loro un balzo in avanti per essere all’altezza della concorrenza”.

Migliore protezione e maggiori rendimenti degli investimenti per la sicurezza
Lo sviluppo globale e l’espansione dei reparti fanno sì che sia le grandi aziende, sia gli enti pubblici avvertano l’esigenza di adeguarsi rapidamente, garantire una maggiore protezione e mantenere il controllo di reti in rapida espansione, il tutto dovendo tener conto delle ristrettezze di bilancio.

“Qualsiasi impresa che si chieda perché rivolgersi a un fornitore di soluzioni di sicurezza dovrebbe considerare le sfide quotidiane che deve affrontare: ambienti complessi con soluzioni complesse di tipo aziendale di numerosi fornitori – ha dichiarato Jeff Wilson Chief Analyst per la Cybersecurity di Omdia, che ha così proseguito – e spesso si tratta di ambienti che non sono in realtà riusciti a risolvere i problemi di sicurezza delle reti, mentre le aziende si trovano a dover fare i conti con carenze di personale, mancanza di competenze e ristrettezze di bilancio. SonicWall produce soluzioni pensate per offrire una sicurezza elevata alle aziende che non hanno personale specializzato in cybersecurity o non ne hanno a sufficienza o sufficientemente preparato e che hanno anche problemi di budget”.

Il sistema operativo potenziato SonicOSX 7.0 è stato progettato per semplificare le politiche complesse, le verifiche ispettive e i controlli di gestione sempre più richiesti dalle imprese distribuite e dagli enti pubblici. Il nuovo sistema operativo SonicWall è basato su un unico codice, per cui quando gli amministratori imparano a utilizzare un prodotto, imparano a utilizzali tutti. Le interfacce e l’esperienza UI/UX consentono di acquisire familiarità, ridurre la formazione e accorciare i tempi d’installazione.

Network Security Manager 2.0, una soluzione aperta, modulare e nativa per il cloud, ottimizza l’agilità e l’efficienza operativa per imprese, enti pubblici e fornitori di servizi attraverso un unico pannello di controllo. Il servizio riduce anche il rischio, visualizzando gli eventi di sicurezza che interessano i dispositivi gestiti. I reparti informatici ottengono conferme e riscontri istantanei, possono annullare le modifiche a livello di singole apparecchiature o di gruppo e sono in grado di definire intere sequenze di prova complete con uno storico delle variazioni completo.

Le organizzazioni possono ridurre ulteriormente i costi limitando l’impiego del personale in loco ed evitando di dover inviare stuoli di tecnici per installare migliaia di firewall, switch connessi e access point wireless grazie al provisioning potenziato in modalità zero-touch e ai modelli di configurazione. Gli amministratori in mobilità possono completare le più comuni attività di gestione, come la registrazione, l’installazione, la configurazione e il monitoraggio dei firewall, grazie alla nuova applicazione mobile SonicExpress.

Reti di grandi dimensioni e sicurezza delle filiali già predisposte per il futuro
Il nuovo firewall SonicWall NSsp 15700, dotato di interfacce multiple da 100/40/10 GbE e di capacità di elaborazione comparabile con quella dei cluster di computer, mette imprese, enti pubblici, centri di elaborazione dati e fornitori di servizi in condizione di sfruttare gli investimenti man mano che le esigenze d’impiego delle risorse e di connessione crescono con l’aumentare dei dispositivi e degli utenti connessi.

“La nuova piattaforma destinata alle imprese che SonicWall si appresta a commercializzare abbina una tecnologia di livello aziendale a tutto ciò che abbiamo appreso aiutando le PMI ad affrontare sfide che, a quanto pare, sono effettivamente le più importanti che le aziende si trovano a dover affrontare” ha dichiarato Jeff Wilson.

I firewall SonicWall della serie NSsp 15700 sono ottimizzati per l’analisi veloce delle minacce nelle reti più esigenti. Si tratta di firewall che si contraddistinguono per le rivoluzionarie funzioni multi-istanza, in grado di proteggere milioni di connessioni.

Sia i firewall di fascia alta NSsp 15700, sia il nuovissimo servizio di firewall virtuali NSv 270, 470 e 870 comprendono il supporto TLS 1.3 integrato, che migliora le prestazioni e la sicurezza, eliminando al tempo stesso le complessità. Il supporto completo TLS 1.3 sui firewall fisici e su quelli virtuali garantisce anche per il futuro la compatibilità degli investimenti anche con i più recenti standard di crittografia.

I nuovi firewall SonicWall TZ570 e 670 sono dotati di funzioni zero-touch integrate per installare la connettività e la sicurezza delle filiali nel giro di pochi minuti. I modelli della nuova serie TZ sono anche predisposti per il 5G e per SD-Branch sicura.

Installazione della protezione interna per un miglior controllo dei dati
Per le organizzazioni che hanno l’esigenza di aumentare la visibilità e mantenere il controllo dei dati al momento dell’identificazione e del blocco dei ciberattacchi conosciuti e non, che contraddistinguono la nuova normalità operativa, il servizio di sandbox multi-engine SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) con tecnologia RTDMI è disponibile per le apparecchiature interne tramite la CSa 1000 completamente nuova.

Con la tecnologia in attesa di brevetto Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI), la CSa 1000 interna e la piattaforma Capture ATP basata sul cloud sono in grado di individuare e bloccare ogni giorno migliaia di campioni di malware evasivo fino ad ora sconosciuti, e persino attacchi crittografati con TLS 1.3 inviati da un firewall connesso SonicWall per un’analisi più approfondita.

La tecnologia RTDMI è una delle poche a offrire una protezione basata sulla rete nei confronti del codice necessario per portare attacchi su canale laterale come Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, PortSmash, Spoiler, MDS e TPM-Fail.

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 Combines Acquired Industry-Leading Security Service Edge (SSE) Solutions with SonicWall’s SME Network Security Experience to Create a Cloud-Delivered ZTNA Solution for MSPs MILPITAS, Calif. — July 18, 2024 — SonicWall announced today the launch of Cloud Secure Edge (CSE), offering an innovative suite of Zero Trust Access offerings designed specifically for MSPs who are meeting customers with increasingly remote work forces on their cloud migration journeys. With flexible, cost-effective solutions for remote access and internet access, CSE empowers organizations to securely connect employees and third-party users to resources from any device and location with unparalleled simplicity and security. Born from years of delivering innovative Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions for mid-enterprise customers, CSE is a unified, cloud-delivered multi-tenant platform for MSPs of all sizes. Customers will be able to choose from a range of Secure Internet Access (SIA) and Secure Private Access (SPA) solutions that replace legacy VPNs with cloud-native solutions that deliver network security at all price points. For organizations that want to combine zero trust with firewall protection, SonicWall is embedding a Private Connector in SonicWall Next-Gen Firewalls (NGFW) to strengthen existing multi-layer security with a zero trust architecture, providing unprecedented ease of deployment while leveraging existing infrastructure. "In today's dynamic threat landscape, where remote work and cloud adoption are accelerating, organizations need a flexible security solution that can seamlessly protect users and data across any network environment,” said SonicWall Executive Vice President of Product Strategy Tarun Desikan. “Banyan was an early innovator and market leader in delivering SSE to enterprises of all sizes. CSE takes that experience and adds SonicWall’s network security knowledge to launch highly flexible and cost-effective solutions - ensuring that any organization can maintain high-performance connectivity while safeguarding against evolving cyber threats. These innovative offerings, designed in consultation with SonicWall MSPs, not only simplify deployment and management but also enhance overall security posture, making them essential and accessible tools for evolving IT environments." While established vendors offer complex SSE solutions geared toward large enterprises, CSE fills the gap experienced by SMEs by providing a straightforward, scalable ZTNA solution ideal for MSPs and their mid-market and SMB customers. CSE adds to our existing remote access solutions enabling SonicWall to help any business no matter what phase they’re at in their transition to the cloud. "When we acquired Banyan in January, we said we would empower partners by delivering a security architecture for any stage of their customers’ evolving cloud journey,” said SonicWall CEO and President Bob VanKirk. “Cloud Secure Edge is the first step of that delivery, with additional MSP-friendly components of the SSE stack to follow. We are redefining SSE for the SME market by combining simplicity and management with robust security, empowering organizations to embrace zero trust principles effortlessly. Our goal is to provide our partners and their customers with confidence that their data and resources are protected, regardless of where their workforce operates." From VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) to ZTNA to SSE, CSE leverages existing network security infrastructure with a cloud-delivered solution that simplifies deployment and management while offering robust security capabilities suitable for organizations of all sizes. Because traditional appliance-based solutions are no longer sufficient in today’s evolving landscape of cloud applications, remote work, and mobile devices, SonicWall has designed a set of offerings that integrate with SonicWall network security solutions to emphasize ease of deployment and management and flexibility to address any cloud migration use case. "We see firsthand the challenges organizations face in securing their increasingly dispersed workforce,” said SonicWall partner and CEO of Black Mountain Rama Polefka. “Cloud Secure Edge addresses these challenges head-on by providing a comprehensive set of solutions that are not only easy to deploy and manage but also deliver robust security capabilities. Whether it’s replacing tradition VPNs, delivering a cost-effective endpoint-based DNS offering or delivering a full ZTNA architecture, this solution allows us to offer our customers who are implementing a hybrid cloud migration a scalable and efficient way to protect their critical assets while ensuring seamless connectivity for their remote workforce." Additional key benefits for MSPs include: Firewall Connector: SonicWall customers can leverage CSE Connector integration within their Next-Generation firewalls (Gen7) starting with SonicOS 7.1.2, enabling ZTNA to their private apps hosted behind the firewall. Seamless Integration: The addition of Cloud Secure Edge is designed to integrate seamlessly with MySonicWall.

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/.
