Network & Communication

The SonicWall TZ Series of next-generation firewalls (NGFW) is ideally suited for any organization that requires enterprise-grade network protection.

SonicWALL TZ Series firewalls provide broad protection from compromise by combining advanced security services consisting of on-box and cloud- based anti-malware, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention system (IPS), and content/URL filtering. To counter the trend of encrypted attacks, the new SonicWALL TZ Series has the ability and processing power to inspect SSL connections against the latest threats, providing an even higher level of security. Backed by the SonicWall Global Response Intelligent Defense (GRID) network, the SonicWALL TZ Series delivers continuous updates to maintain a strong network defense from cybercriminals. With full deep packet inspection operating at performance levels that match broadband connection speeds, the SonicWALL TZ Series is able to scan every byte of every packet on all ports and protocols with almost zero latency. This eliminates bottlenecks and allows organizations to use security as an enabler, not an inhibitor.

The SonicWALL TZ Series also features an integrated wireless access controller, 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports, and native VPN remote access clients for Apple IOS, Google Android, Windows, Mac OS and Linux for fast, secure mobileaccess. The SonicWall Global Management System (GMS) enables deployment and management of SonicWALL TZ Series firewalls from a single system at the central office.

The products include fully tested routing features for IPv4 and IPv6, including route-based VPN protocols OSPF and RIP v1/v2. Authentication protocols support includes LDAP and RADIUS as well as single sign-on capability that can integrate with Active Directory. All SonicWall firewalls provide advanced threat protection from botnets, and UDP and ICMP flooding.

Protection for SMB

The SonicWALL TZ Series offers small and medium business (SMB) a broad range of security protection in an integrated solution, with a wide selection of products to match speed and budget requirements. Intuitive wizards simplify deployment and setup. And should broadband service be interrupted, connections can be retained with integrated 3G/4G support. In addition, many of the SonicWALL TZ Series products feature integrated wireless controller support for high-speed 802.11ac SonicPoint wireless access points.

Managed security for distributed environments

Schools, retail shops, remote sites, branch offices and distributed enterprises need a solution that integrates with their corporate firewall. SonicWALL TZ Series firewalls share the same code base-and same protection-as our flagship SuperMassive next generation firewalls. This simplifies remote site management, as every administrator sees the same user interface (UI). In addition, GMS enables remote SonicWall firewalls to be monitored, configured and managed through a single pane of glass. By adding high-speed, secure wireless, the SonicWALL TZ Series also extends the protection perimeter to include customers and guests frequenting the retail site or remote office.

Industry-validated security effectiveness and performance for mid-sized networks

The SonicWall Network Security Appliance (NSA) series provides mid-sized networks, branch offices and distributed enterprises with advanced threat prevention in a high-performance security platform. Combining next-generation firewall technology with our patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine on a multi-core architecture, the NSA series offers the security, performance and control organizations require.

Superior threat prevention and performance

NSA series next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) integrate advanced security technologies to deliver superior threat prevention. Our patented single- pass RFDPI threat prevention engine examines every byte of every packet, inspecting both inbound and outbound traffic simultaneously. The NSA series leverages on-box capabilities including intrusion prevention, anti-malware and web/URL filtering in addition to cloud- based SonicWall Capture multi-engine sandboxing service to block zero-day threats at the gateway. Unlike other security products that cannot inspect large files for hidden threats, NSA firewalls scan files of any size across all ports and protocols. The security architecture in SonicWall NGFWs has been validated as one of the industry's best for security effectiveness by NSS Labs for five consecutive years.

Further, SonicWall NGFWs 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 to detect and prevent hidden attacks that leverage cryptography, block encrypted malware downloads, cease the spread of infections, and thwart 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.
