Security and protection
The dedicated, in-house SonicWall
Threat Research Team works
on researching and developing
countermeasures to deploy to the
rewalls in the eld 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.
SonicWall rewall customers with current
subscriptions are provided continuously
updated threat protection around
the clock, with new updates taking
effect immediately without reboots
or interruptions. The signatures on
the appliances protect against wide
classes of attacks, covering up to tens
of thousands of individual threats with
a single signature. In addition to the
countermeasures on the appliance, all
SonicWall rewalls also have access
to the SonicWall CloudAV service,
which extends the onboard signature
intelligence with more than 17 million
signatures, and growing. This CloudAV
database is accessed via a proprietary
light-weight protocol by the rewall to
augment the inspection done on the
appliance. With Geo-IP and botnet
ltering capabilities, SonicWall next-
generation rewalls are able to block
trafc from dangerous domains or entire
geographies in order to reduce the risk
prole of the network.
Application intelligence
and control
Application intelligence informs
administrators of application trafc
traversing the network, so they can
schedule application controls based on
business priority, throttle unproductive
applications and block potentially
dangerous applications. Real-time
visualization identies trafc anomalies
as they happen, enabling immediate
countermeasures against potential
inbound or outbound attacks or
performance bottlenecks. SonicWall
application trafc analytics provide
granular insight into application
trafc, bandwidth utilization and
security threats, as well as powerful
troubleshooting and forensics
capabilities. Additionally, secure single
sign-on (SSO) capabilities enhance the
user experience, increase productivity
and reduce support calls. Management
of application intelligence and control
is simplied by using an intuitive web-
based interface.
Flexible and secure wireless
Available as an optional feature, high-
speed 802.11ac wireless* combines
with SonicWall next-generation
rewall technology to create a wireless
network security solution that delivers
comprehensive protection for wired and
wireless networks.
This enterprise-level wireless
performance enables WiFi-ready devices
to connect from greater distances
and use bandwidth-intensive mobile
apps, such as video and voice, in
higher density environments without
experiencing signal degradation.
