Security and protection
The dedicated, in-house Dell SonicWALL
Threat Research Team works on
researching and developing counter-
measures to deploy to the firewalls in
the field for up-to-date protection. The
team leverages more than one million
sensors across the globe for malware
samples, and for telemetry feedback on
the latest threat information, which in
turn is fed into the intrusion prevention,
anti-malware and application detection
capabilities.
Dell SonicWALL NGFW customers
benefit from continuously updated
threat protection around the clock, with
new updates taking eect immediately
without reboots or interruptions. The
signatures resident on the appliances are
designed to protect against wide classes
of attacks, covering tens of thousands of
individual threats with a single signature.
In addition to the countermeasures on
the appliance, NSA appliances also have
access to the Dell SonicWALL CloudAV
Service, which extends the onboard
signature intelligence with more than
twelve million signatures. This CloudAV
database is accessed via a proprietary,
light-weight protocol by the firewall to
augment the inspection done on the
appliance. With Geo-IP and botnet
filtering capabilities, Dell SonicWALL
NGFWs are able to block trac
from dangerous domains or entire
geographies in order to reduce the
risk profile of the network.
Application intelligence
and control
Application intelligence informs
administrators of application trac
traversing their network, so they can
schedule application controls based on
business priority, throttle unproductive
applications and block potentially
dangerous applications. Real-time
visualization identifies trac anomalies
as they happen, enabling immediate
countermeasures against potential
inbound or outbound attacks or
performance bottlenecks.
Dell SonicWALL Application Trac
Analytics provide granular insight into
application trac, bandwidth utilization
and security threats, as well as powerful
troubleshooting and forensics capabilities.
Additionally, secure Single Sign-On
(SSO) capabilities ease the user
experience, increase productivity and
reduce support calls.
The Dell SonicWALL Global Management
System (GMS
®
) simplifies management
of application intelligence and control
using an intuitive, web-based interface.
