Summary

This feature allows SonicWall network security appliances that operate in networks to access the Internet through a proxy server to download signatures. This feature also allows for registration of SonicWall network security appliances through a proxy server to avoid compromising privacy.

Some features require that a separate license be purchased for their use.

Security Services are not available on SonicWall firewalls configured for Policy Mode.

The Security Services > Summary page provides these settings:

• Synchronize Licenses
• Security Services Settings
• Signature Downloads Through a Proxy Server
• Security Services Information

These top-level Security Services settings allow a choice of operating for maximum security, or accepting less than the highest security level but with higher network performance levels.

These settings can be selected for the global network, a group, or a single SonicWall network security appliance.
