Your Data, Unified: Firewall Analytics and Reporting Without the Silos

Break down security silos with unified firewall analytics and reporting built for modern network environments.

In today’s threat landscape, data is one of the most powerful tools a security team has. Every connection, policy decision and blocked threat generates insights that can help identify risks faster, close security gaps and strengthen an organization’s overall posture.

But to act on that data, it needs to be accessible and correlated.

When analytics and reporting are spread across multiple tools, important signals get missed, response times slow, blind spots develop and teams spend more time navigating interfaces than protecting their environment. For modern network security, unified visibility isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.

One Platform. Total Visibility.

This need for cohesive insights is why SonicWall is moving toward a more streamlined approach to management, analytics and reporting. Our goal: to provide customers with a single, powerful platform that offers complete visibility into their entire security ecosystem.

To support this vision, SonicWall has consolidated several standalone tools (most notably GMS and Analytics On-Prem) into Network Security Manager (NSM), bringing reporting and analytics together in a single, unified solution designed for modern firewalls and workflows.

And now, we’ve taken the next step:
NSM is now fully integrated into SonicWall Unified Management, creating a seamless experience that connects telemetry, policies, operations and threat insights across your SonicWall environment. The result is a unified command center that brings your entire security ecosystem into focus.

Why Unified Network Management Matters More Than Ever

Modern environments generate massive amounts of telemetry. However, without a unified platform, that telemetry remains scattered, underutilized or difficult to act upon.

Unified Management solves this by connecting the dots across:

Policies
Inventory
Events
Threat Intelligence
Logs
Device Performance
User Activity

Equipped with the full picture from a single, intuitive dashboard, customers gain proactive, intelligence-driven control over their entire security environment.

A Clear Path Forward, Backed by a Modern Roadmap

As part of this unified vision, capabilities from Analytics On-Prem have been consolidated into NSM, ensuring customers have a single, fully supported platform moving forward.

But the real story is what comes next.

With NSM and Unified Management as the foundation, SonicWall is investing heavily in:

Enhanced correlations
More intuitive dashboards
Deeper cross-product visibility
More frequent updates
A growing suite of unified experiences

This is the architecture built for the future of security operations. And we’re just getting started.

A More Streamlined Future Starts with NSM

Visibility drives confidence. Centralization drives efficiency. And a unified dataset drives everything from faster responses to more effective long-term planning.

If you're ready to simplify your workflows and unify your data, NSM is your next step.
