Understanding Analytics

Analytics is designed to evaluate data collected by the firewall ecosystem, make policy decisions and take defensive actions using application- and user-based analytics.

SonicWall Analytics extends security event analysis and reporting by providing real-time visualization, monitoring and alerts based on the correlated security data. You can perform flexible drill-down and gain insight into your network, user access, connectivity, application use, threat profiles, and other firewall-related data.

Analytics provides the following key features:

• Data collection that includes normalizing, correlating, and contextualizing the data to the environment
• Streaming analytics in real time
• Analytics including activity trends and connections across the entire network
• Real-time, dynamic visualization of the security data from a single point
• Real-time detection and remediation

SonicWall Analytics is flexible and designed to integrate into other SonicWall solutions:

• On-Premises Analytics can be integrated with on-premises NSM for those customers requiring long term storage of firewall logs and supports designated SonicWall firewalls.
