SonicWall Network Security appliance (NSa) series

Industry-validated security effectiveness and performance for mid-sized networks and distributed enterprises and data centers

The SonicWall Network Security appliance (NSa) series provides midsized networks, branch offices and distributed enterprises with advanced threat prevention in a high-performance security platform. Utilizing innovative deep learning technologies in the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform, the NSa series delivers the automated realtime breach detection and prevention organizations need.

Cutting-edge threat prevention with superior performance

Today's network threats are highly evasive and increasingly difficult to identify using traditional methods of detection. Staying ahead of sophisticated attacks requires a more modern approach that heavily leverages security intelligence in the cloud. Without that cloud intelligence, gateway security solutions can't keep pace with today's complex threats. NSa series nextgeneration firewalls (NGFWs) integrate two advanced security technologies to deliver cutting-edge threat prevention that keeps your network one step ahead. Enhancing SonicWall's multi-engine Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service is our patent-pending Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) technology. The RTDMI engine proactively detects and blocks mass market, zero-day threats and unknown malware by inspecting directly in memory. Because of the real-time architecture, SonicWall RTDMI technology is precise, minimizes false positives, and identifies and mitigates sophisticated attacks where the malware's weaponry is exposed for less than 100 nanoseconds. In combination, SonicWall's patented* single-pass Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine examines every byte of every packet, inspecting both inbound and outbound traffic simultaneously on the firewall. By leveraging the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform in addition to on-box capabilities including intrusion prevention, antimalware and web/URL filtering, the NSa series blocks even the most insidious threats at the gateway.

Further, SonicWall firewalls provide complete protection by performing full decryption and inspection of TLS/SSL and SSH encrypted connections as well as non-proxyable applications regardless of transport or protocol. The firewall looks deep inside every packet (the header and data) searching for protocol non-compliance, threats, zero-days, intrusions, and even defined criteria. The deep packet inspection engine detects and prevents hidden attacks that leverage cryptography, blocks encrypted malware downloads, ceases the spread of infections, and thwarts command and control (C&C) communications and data exfiltration. Inclusion and exclusion rules allow total control to customize which traffic is subjected to decryption and inspection based on specific organizational compliance and/or legal requirements.

When organizations activate deep packet inspection functions such as IPS, antivirus, anti-spyware, TLS/SSL decryption/ inspection and others on their firewalls,network performance often slows down, sometimes dramatically. NSa series firewalls, however, feature a multi-core hardware architecture that utilizes specialized security microprocessors. Combined with our RTDMI and RFDPI engines, this unique design eliminates the performance degradation networks experience with other firewalls.

Featuring a high port density including multiple 40 GbE and 10 GbE ports, the solution supports network and hardware redundancy with high availability, and dual power supplies.

SonicWall Generation 7 (Gen 7) Network Security Appliance (NSa) next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) offers medium- to large-sized enterprises industry-leading performance at the lowest total cost of ownership in their class.

With comprehensive security features such as intrusion prevention, VPN, application control, malware analysis, URL filtering, DNS Security, Geo-IP and Bot-net services, it protects the perimeter from advanced threats without becoming a bottleneck.

The Gen 7 NSa Series has been built from the ground up with the latest hardware components, all designed to deliver multi-gigabit threat prevention throughput - even for encrypted traffic. Featuring a high port density including multiple 40 GbE and 10 GbE ports, the solution supports network and hardware redundancy with high availability, and dual power supplies.

Generation 7 - SonicOS 7.0 and Security Services

The Gen 7 NSa Series runs on SonicOS 7.0, a new operating system built from the ground up to deliver a modern user interface, intuitive workflows and user-first design principles. SonicOS 7.0 provides multiple features designed to facilitate enterprise-level workflows. It offers easy policy configuration, zero-touch deployment and flexible management - all of which allow enterprises to improve both their security and operational efficiency.

The Gen 7 NSa Series supports advanced networking features, such as SD-WAN, dynamic routing, layer 4-7 high-availability and high-speed VPN functionality. In addition to integrating firewall and switch capabilities, the appliance provides a single-pane-of-glass interface to manage both switches and access points.

Built to mitigate the advanced cyberattacks of today and tomorrow, the Gen 7 NSa Series offers access to SonicWall's advanced firewall security services, allowing you to protect your entire IT infrastructure. Solutions and services such as Cloud Application Security, Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) cloud-based sandboxing, Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) and Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) - for all traffic including TLS 1.3 - offer comprehensive gateway protection from most stealthy and dangerous malware, including zero-day and encrypted threats.
