What's New

• We’re excited to announce that Network Security Manager (NSM) has been integrated into SonicWall Unified Management. This marks a major milestone in SonicWall’s journey to unify its portfolio under a single, scalable management experience, simplifying firewall operations for MSPs, MSSPs, and IT administrators. You can now configure, monitor, and manage firewalls, switches, access points, and more!

• We are introducing a new, modernized look and feel for NSM integrated with Capture Security Center.

• Template Enhancements: Adds support for variables in interface configurations and allows templates to be exported as firewall EXP configs, making it easier to standardize deployments across multiple environments and reduce configuration errors.

• Granular Firmware Upgrade Visibility: Enables real-time tracking of firmware status directly from the inventory page, helping IT teams and MSPs ensure devices are up-to-date and secure without manual checks.

• Risk-Based Reporting: Introduces new report types that provide deeper insights into application usage, intrusion attempts, and malware risks, empowering security teams to prioritize threats and improve response times.

• Enhanced Migration App: Simplifies upgrades from legacy firewalls with configuration migration to the latest firewalls, making it easier for partners and end users to transition to Gen 8 firewalls and reduce deployment time by migrating configurations to the latest firewalls, making it easier for partners and end-users

• UX improvements:

  • Simplifying switching from the All-tenants inventory view to the specific tenant view
  • Restart the firewall from the inventory action
  • Firewall connectivity status while editing groups
