About Secure Mobile Access

Secure Mobile Access (SMA) provides scalable, secure mobile access for your enterprise while blocking untrusted applications, WiFi pirates, and malware. SMA appliances provide a single gateway and a common user experience across all platforms, including managed and unmanaged devices. Traffic is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) to protect it from unauthorized users.

SMA is available as a physical appliance or as a virtual appliance running on VMWare ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and KVM.

Compatibility and Installation Notes

  • Most popular browsers are supported, but Google Chrome is preferred for the real-time graphics display on the dashboard.
  • A MySonicWall account is required.
  • SMA 10.2.1.10 is compatible with Capture Security Center (CSC).
  • CSC provides a cloud dashboard that displays the overall status of all the registered SMA appliances. The dashboard has sliders to choose the Time Period, Count of Alerts, Threats, WAF (Web Application Firewall) Threats, Authentications, VPN Accesses, Bookmark Access, Active devices and Users on a Map, and Threats categories.
