Application intelligence and control
Feature Description
Application control Control applications, or individual application features, that are identied by the RFDPI engine against a continuously
expanding database of over 3,500 application signatures, to increase network security and enhance network
productivity.
Custom application identication Control custom applications by creating signatures based on specic parameters or patterns unique to an application
in its network communications, in order to gain further control over the network.
Application bandwidth management Granularly allocate and regulate available bandwidth for critical applications or application categories while inhibiting
nonessential application trafc.
Granular control Control applications, or specic components of an application, based on schedules, user groups, exclusion lists and a
range of actions with full SSO user identication through LDAP/AD/Terminal Services/Citrix integration.
Content ltering
Feature Description
Inside/outside content ltering Enforce acceptable use policies and block access to websites containing information or images that are objectionable
or unproductive with Content Filtering Service. Extend policy enforcement to block internet content for devices
located outside the rewall perimeter with the Content Filtering Client.
Granular controls Block content using the predened categories or any combination of categories. Filtering can be scheduled by time
of day, such as during school or business hours, and applied to individual users or groups.
YouTube for Schools Enable teachers to choose from hundreds of thousands of free educational videos from YouTube EDU that are
organized by subject and grade and align with common educational standards.
Web caching URL ratings are cached locally on the SonicWall rewall so that the response time for subsequent access to frequently
visited sites is only a fraction of a second.
Enforced anti-virus and anti-spyware
Feature Description
Multi-layered protection Utilize the rewall capabilities as the rst layer of defense at the perimeter, coupled with endpoint protection to
block, viruses entering network through laptops, thumb drives and other unprotected systems.
Automated enforcement option Ensure every computer accessing the network has the most recent version of anti-virus and anti-spyware signatures
installed and active, eliminating the costs commonly associated with desktop anti-virus and anti-spyware
management.
Automated deployment and installation option Machine-by-machine deployment and installation of anti-virus and anti-spyware clients is automatic across the
network, minimizing administrative overhead.
Always on, automatic virus protection Frequent anti-virus and anti-spyware updates are delivered transparently to all desktops and le servers to improve
end user productivity and decrease security management.
Spyware protection
Powerful spyware protection scans and blocks the installation of a comprehensive array of spyware programs on
desktops and laptops before they transmit condential data, providing greater desktop security and performance.
Firewall and networking
Feature Description
Stateful packet inspection All network trafc is inspected, analyzed and brought into compliance with rewall access policies.
DDoS/DoS attack protection SYN Flood protection provides a defense against DOS attacks using both Layer 3 SYN proxy and Layer 2 SYN
blacklisting technologies. Additionally, it provides the ability to protect against DOS/DDoS through UDP/ICMP ood
protection and connection rate limiting.
Flexible deployment options
The SonicWall TZ Series can be deployed in traditional NAT, Layer 2 Bridge, Wire Mode and Network Tap modes.
IPv6 support Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is in its early stages to replace IPv4. With the latest SonicOS, the hardware will
support ltering implementations.
X-Series switch integration Manage security settings of additional ports, including POE and POE+, under a single pane of glass using TZ series
dashboard with X series switch (not available with the SOHO model)
High availability SonicWall TZ500 and SonicWall TZ600 models support high availability with Active/Standby with
state synchronization. SonicWall TZ300 and SonicWall TZ400 models support high availability without Active/Standby
synchronization. There is no high availability on SonicWall SOHO models.
Wireless Network Security IEEE 802.11ac wireless technology can deliver up to 1.3 Gbps of wireless throughput with greater range and
reliability. Available on SonicWall TZ600 through SonicWall TZ300 models. Optional 802.11 a/b/g/n is available on
SonicWall SOHO models.
Management and reporting
Feature Description
Global Management System SonicWall GMS monitors, congures and reports on multiple SonicWall appliances and X-Series switches through a
single management console with an intuitive interface to reduce management costs and complexity.
Powerful, single device management An intuitive, web-based interface allows quick and convenient conguration. Also, a comprehensive command line
interface and support for SNMPv2/3.
IPFIX/NetFlow application ow reporting Exports application trafc analytics and usage data through IPFIX or NetFlow protocols for real-time and historical
monitoring and reporting with tools such as SonicWall Scrutinizer or other tools that support IPFIX and NetFlow with
extensions.
